Special Pots.

On the other thread I suggested there should be a limit on how many special pots can be taken into an event. Once again I was totally ignored but I personally think it's the best and fairest solution. Sure everyone can get special pots so why put restrictions in place? My theory is in PT, Triplex and 1 alt PT the best dueler or best equip crit SHOULD win, and pots in my opinion nullify this.
NOW for my idea......
As you can see in inventory I have added two new boxes (two being a totally random number, could be more could be less) Instead of special pots being used from inventory, I suggest they be equiped like weapons and armour and used only by macro's, much like a spyglass I guess.
Now it gets stupidly complicated. When both (or all) special pots have been used in a duel there has to be a way to restrict people from equiping more from an inventory.... Didn't really think of this as I started typing but i'll come back to it.
Anyway to sum up. It would no longer be a case of "most special pots win", more a case of timing and skill. Fairly brief outline for something as complicated.... but it seems I've bored myself and want to log on crits and kill things. Thoughts anyway.

See I don't get that, it was said by numerous people on another post too.If people want to buy pots, let em. It's sucking gold out of the game, don't like it, don't play it or buy the pots yourselves.
For one, it doesn't suck gold out of the game, it sucks SKILL and FUN out of events. In saying that however, timing your special pots takes skill. There just comes a point where there honestly is too many used by one person.
For two, the items aren't exactly hard to come across. Honestly more gold would be sucked out of the game when they buy normal pots or mana.
For three, telling people to just not play is silly.

Btw, with how expensive nightshades and vampire pots are.. it's sucking gold out of the game and not many can afford to buy them either. That's how it's sucking gold out of the game. The more they use those, the more they have to buy, less gold in game.

By the way, if I read your first post correctly you are unaware that you can go to character options and open up the currently equiped items window. hope that helps with your look over complications .

Not to pregnant dog and moan too much, but I simply don't always have time per crit to type out /use nightshade elixir on a cleric when I need to use one, and I travel with them just incase I am in trouble.
If it were setup like this simply to make events more even---just have staff check inventories if they feel it should be changed.
-Edit-
The idea is a superb one; I just don't want it to work like that. (and before anyone cares to say anything---I don't enter many events with my potions anymore---got tired of using them like that, more important stuff usually)

And, my response wasn't limited to the getting rid of pots all together or your idea of limiting the amount of special pots. (i did notice the difference and Either way, the events should be left alone as they are period!) People should be able to use how many pots their current inventory can hold. Hense why you were "ignored" in your words, in the other thread.

And here is why i do not support it... don't need people running around on 20 crits with nightshades equipped so they still have 14 open spaces.. just keep things way they are and bar special pots from events..nice, ill put a nightshade on all my alts just incase the nuts goes down

Yeah but wouldnt it make those fights in zeum FUN? Because you may as well have nightshades equipped due to not dropping them when you die...could possibly add a bit more tactics to thingsAnd here is why i do not support it... don't need people running around on 20 crits with nightshades equipped so they still have 14 open spaces.. just keep things way they are and bar special pots from events..nice, ill put a nightshade on all my alts just incase the nuts goes down
it's plausible that the SOB hasn't spawned

i suggest that instead of making a separate inventory for pots, n risking the chance of accidentally equipping the items near the pots,
the last 2 spots for items, which is above the equip button, should be bordered from the whole 14-slot invent.
It doesn't have to be bordered, but just to have a mark on both slots so that when an event goes on, the 2 slots would be for 2 special pots, and the other 12 slots would be empty or whatever the case may be.
Timing...
