I agree with this. The reason I agree with this is because in classic no one knew that this was going to be taken away so 100% of the non-porting population didnt bind there.

Now we know it is gonig to be taken away so everyone is going to bind there.

Unless when you take away the ability to bind there that you also reset the bind points of the people currently bound there.

I was attacked by Faydedar there once. Didn't he path near the pots? Or did someone likely just train him there to get away?

Its not without its potential dangers.

They were there from the launch of Kunark, and are still there. I used them yesterday.

And yes, Faydedar chills right above them, waiting to deathloop you.

the dragon that spawns there is a triggered event. he's never up for very long as the trigger is for some dragon hunter dude to travel to the pots and kill the dragon.

it's a separate faydedar to the druid epic quest dragon of the same name

Poor, choice of words. Concisely, I maybe wish they didn't exist.
I thought they really took alot of the mystique and romance out of EQ when everyone was bound there:

"Wassat you say? Nagafen just popped?"
Damn, I'm in Dreadlands. Ahh no worries.
You begin to cast Gate

You have entered Neriak.
Hai guyz! BRT! LOLOLOLOLOL

Fuck firepots. They were the precursors to PoK books that were the deathknell of EQ.

Same thing can be said about manastones, guise, etc etc etc. It doesn't matter to me one way or another however if binding is available of course its not something to pass up.

And this is one of the reasons I love EQ - the community it spawned and their creativity, humor and (relative) intelligence contributed greatly to my enjoyment.

I loved the fire pots and bound there for a long time. That stupid druid dragon caught me in a death-bind loop on a few occasions.

I had a couple of toons bound there through velious and never once encountered the dragon... however I never did anything like go afk and take a crap while I was there. Gate in, run as fast as i could and click the firepot.
