Well I guess that explains it. If you had it your way they'd be worth a million, too bad their not and never will be (actually some servers on live they may go for this much, but no one gives a shit about them). For a guy who played a druid for 8 years on live, they were pretty much worthless for my class for that whole duration afaic (I did not play in classic).

It takes 600 hp's away for the cost of mana just to port / gate back if you're counting clicks on the stone and all the "free mana" you get from it (not to mention the mana cost to keep perma chloro / regrowth going). It just isn't worth it unless you can use it on the spot while hunting / quading / grouping where you can instantly sit right back down letting life regen faster.

Now for use on classic? It's great, I love it. As for other classes and their usefulness? I can't say. I guess I could port a cleric out and keep healing him over and over and over so he can get a full bar then gate back, sure would be awesome for him, yea I bet. Or the Wizard epic clicks... But as for a Druid who you say it's so essential for? I don't think so.
Apparently you think I am trying to talk up the price so I can sell mine. That would be incorrect. Perhaps you would like to ponder this item:

This conversation will not affect the long-term value of manastones. Manastones are not about fashion but function. If you do not think it will be worthwhile for a druid leveling from 50 to 60 to port out, stone down and gate back, then... don't do it. I will be. So will the other druids winning the leveling race. Perhaps that is not important to you. That's not what this discussion is about.

Manastones are rare and useful. Demand will drive up the price. If you don't want one, don't buy one, but your irritation and implications will not lower the price.
