I would like to point out this little nugget for you then.
This is taken directly from the Age of Heroes Chapter 1 Q&A thread. In fact, it is the very first question that @Caroll answered. So if Funcom’s solution is to make Thrall Pots decorative items why would they claim that the new crafter thralls can take items directly out of thrall pots? I mean, I am not disagreeing with you per say @Pugilist I am just wondering if one hand is not informing the other hand of what they are doing.
