Let's not limit our view of this issue to only the first week or two of launch.
Insta-cast pumice cheapens every single PvP fight every time everywhere. You're not going to be guaranteed of a SK HT bind rushing you down every single time you engage in PvP. That said, I wouldn't mind making HT timer persist after death. No one's really arguing that so I'm not sure why you keep bringing it up.
Hey man you can't make #3 just a rewording of #2, you're breaking the rules of ordered lists! See above.
Get resists, play better, etc. There's solutions to this but no solution to the cheapness of insta-pumice.
I don't care if egg shaped pumice is lore and 1 cast, but now we're entering the territory of completely altering items just for the hell of it. There's no point in putting a custom item in when you can just go camp golem wands.
This is where it gets interesting because you're starting to argue against your own stance on insta-pumice.
Sure, because he just wasted at least half a minute doing that.
If you don't like the dynamic PvP system, there's a thread for that, and this one isn't it. Try to stay on topic with your inane rambling.
Good advice.

Thank you for some viable feedback unlike the other trolls in this thread.
First off, however, I have to disagree with some of your points. Your main argument is that an egg-shaped pumice is "cheap." You stated that because of the "cheapness" of an egg-shaped pumice it shouldn't be in game. First off, Everquest was NEVER a game of balance, that's what made it good and retarded as hell at the same time. If we were arguing for the sake of "Cheapness," MANY and I mean MANY things shouldn't be in the game. For the sake of how things ran on classic, however, I have to argue that it should be in game. Shouldn't we be able to feel true nostalgia when playing EQ pvp? As others have stated, there are many great memories with "Cheap," things like egg-shaped pumice, charm, and fear. One of the stories that stood out most was charming some one and putting them under the water.
I don't think egg-shaped pumice should remain in the game for the entirety of the server, but at least should be a viable part of the game for a few months, I think the devs should just follow a SoE timeline, put in changes over time, a true progression server. Some things are just dumb about EQ, but a lot of it made it so there was strategy required. EQ pvp was almost never what you fools got used to on VZTZ. It was never having full raid buffs and ROFLstomping, it was strategy. And if egg-shaped pumice will combat those gank squads rolling with full raid buffs I say leave it in for now, you can always take it out later.
