<p>A group evac? really?</p><p>Still nothing that impacts gameplay then.... <img src="/smilies/69934afc394145350659cd7add244ca9.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p>

<p>Those EVAC pots have existed since Kingdom of Sky - they were a reward from several quests in Sanctum.</p><p>Now that 100% Feign Death quest rewards exist, expect to see them for sale on SC soon.</p>

[zelocka01]

<p>I like the visual effect of the pot at least.  The actual spell effect you can get so many places in game I don't really see it as a problem.  Rest of the items are borring.  Want some appearence only weapons not yet more dragons. :p</p>

[Valdaglerion]

<p>So the evac ability is now for sale on Station Cash. . . outstanding. Dont need to be a scout or a tinker now for the charged item even. Glad ths Lon and SC stuff is only fluff.</p>

You can purchase these over and over and over and over . ..</p>

<p>I just want to say you guys n gals at SOE are the greatest!!!</p><p>I have been waiting for a long time to get something that would really alter my gameplay experience through SC and here it is.</p><p>I love you guys for proving so many of us right when we said it would come to this, many of us will miss you all.<img src="/eq2/images/smilies/9d71f0541cff0a302a0309c5079e8dee.gif" border="0" /></p>

[StargateFanGirl]

<p>Not happy about that evac item but if it simply must exist I really think it should be given a much longer reuse timer so it doesnt compete with the scouts evac.</p>

[Avirodar]

<p>This is the exact reason I was against station cash from the word go. I knew SOE would attempt to ease more significant items onto SC, despite the "claims" (blatant lies) that they did not intend to. SOE will keep nudging forward, adding more and more to their RMT services over time.Yes, RMT services. LoN and SC are RMT services. You exchange real cash for ingame products/services beyond the regular subscription. It was no one but Smed himself that promised RMT would never be put in EQ2. The existance of SC means he broke his promise, or in simpler terms, lied.I hope SC burns.</p>

<p>Vitality and run speed potions where in from the first release right? I fail to see how this is more game effecting then them. </p><p>While I would like SC to stay fluff (since the fluff you get there generally can't be gotten in game) I don’t see how this matters in game balance.  It’s a charge item and likely to be costly for an effect that you can get in multiple places already.  You should complain more about the collector edition box cat mount. That’s a 65% run speed mount for 30 dollars.  <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/136dd33cba83140c7ce38db096d05aed.gif" border="0" /></p>

<p>Wow, you people lie so often I am suprised you don't try and claim your company is actually Blizzard.</p><p>Yeah Evac Potions don't mean much on PvE but they really effect gameplay on PvP.</p><p>Why do you have such a problem sticking to the "Only Fluff" lie?</p><p>If you are going to go more and more into game usage, please tell us now so we can all quit instead of trying to ninja the line to trick us into subscribing more money.</p><p>You lot are such a bunch of blatant triksters and fraudsters its unbeliveable.</p><p>I would like to see an official 6 month statement on whats coming in SC, full disclosure.</p>

[zelocka01]

<p>You see thats a valid balance issue with the pots and pvp, but its would be no less valid of the other evac items in game.</p>

[Dreyco]

<p>There are already potions on station marketplace that "affect gameplay".  Have been for a while, since its inception actually.</p><p>I still sell Wolf Totems on my woodworker just fine, and still use the regular veteren experience rewards.  I doubt that people are going to spend 10 dollars for evac potions.  If they do?  Well.... good for them?</p><p>Such a moot complaint.</p>

[Seffrid]

<p>It's really sad to see such a good game degenerating like this. I feel for those honest and decent members of the Team who I've no doubt regret it every bit as much as the players.</p>

[Calthine]

<p>HM, the Indigo Baby Dragon is 100SC more than the other Baby Dragons.</p>

Does it really make the game no longer fun if that other group in the zone can now evac a couple times while your group has to actually walk all the way back to the entrance?</p><p>Can I have your stuff?</p>

<p>*ponders* ... I logged into Test this morning and saw there were some new items up for sale on Station Cash. </p><p>I tried looking for something that said "new items coming to station marketplace for sometime after 1.12.10 to 1.29.10" and I'm not sure if it's gone to Live yet or some kind of accidental push to Test first though I'd think they'd both be hooked but regardless ...</p><p>There's a Charm item "Summoning Charm" .. 5 charge summon player - no biggie.  Fine .. But it's got 12 INT on it.  I say again (and again if need be) .. <strong>NO STAT</strong> Items for EQ2 Marketplace!   Don't care how little or crappy they are.  <strong>NO STATS! </strong> Appearance or Potion or Limited Housing fine .. <strong>NO STATS!!</strong>  The 5 charge summon is fine at 5dollars for just the 5 charges, still better than trying to get lucky in LoN and immediate for those not 6 year vets!  It doesn't need the stat added!</p><p>You can add all the Stats you want to FreeRealm items but <strong>NO STATS</strong> on EQ2 stuff!</p><p>----</p><p>Edit add: btw .. the Ebony furniture looks more like a mix of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umber" target="_blank">Umber</a></p>

<p>I don't really know much about the pvp aspect, but from pve the last time someone evacced me while in combat in a dungeon I almost rage quit.  Evac doesn't really matter in pve, I have like 3 loot cards from my free packs that give evacs and haven't redeemed one of em.</p><p>In pvp I don't really know, but don't they disable evac if you're engaged in pvp combat?  If so it's only use is for people to avoid being ganked when they have something better to do... no big deal there either in my opinion because fun pvp is versus people who actually want to be pvping.</p>
