Binding at pots question

[DMN]

Isn't halas about the only decent firepot shortcut(almost everyone is going to be KOS in cabalis)? Sure, nice if you need/want to go there, but how often will that be?

Iksars/enc probably gain the most from it. As long as you have a decent porting population the rest are pretty meh. But do you really want to do CR in Seb or HS or wherever and have to come all the way from cabilis? You are going to go to the commons and get a port instead.
