Are you referring to people using macros/scripts to throw exp pots or the exp pots themselves?
FYI: Most folks throw them manually in my experience.

Nonsense.
They are all manually timed and thrown, both on the run and in between spells. If you take away purple pots you won't be able to kill anyone who runs or any mage 1v1, and dexxers would become useless. The community would not respond well to this.
Yeah, I always did them manually, but if people are scripting them now, I would be okay with disabling that.

February 8th, 2015 - Made all stack-able potions UN-STACK upon death.
February 8h, 2015 - Added stack-able potions in 10 stacks.
This was in the patch notes which is great. This means the potions all disperse when someone dies? I'm happy with them only being stackable to 10, but having stacked potions on corpses is one of the main reason to having them. I'm glad you guys are making changes tho, keep it up.

Balance has to be found and to balance between new player and more veteran, its important to remember that some folks actually run back to their corpse to loot it as they cannot afford infinite stock or a butler. Having potions non-stacked on corpses helps those guys have a chance at getting some of their loot back.
Also, it is a strategic move, if you are low on pots, are you gonna stop fighting for a bit to pick up potions from a corpse or are you going to continue on with low stock... decisions decisions...
I mean for me, I now get to have a neat stock box on me again as opposed to one with pots all over the place hiding what I got in there.

elaborate on the "issue with explosion potions" please. If it has nothing to do with them spreading out their damage when they're thrown right next to mobs, or with them dealing a ridiculously low amount of damage, then I'm afraid that we're in for another disappointment.
You don't bring out what you don't plan on losing.
In normal PVP circumstances, people will take the bags and carry them somewhere, or just sit there picking it dry for 2 minutes, res killing the person if necessary. The result is the person losing all their stuff either way.
When you're fighting outnumbered there is no option to stop and loot. Fighting without heals/cures/refresh won't end so well, so you're forced home. When you only have 2-3 seconds to loot, you can't grab all their potions.

That's referring to chaining exp pot explosions.
So you will no longer be able to pot people down?....

They enabled for a short time the old school mechanic where one exp pot exploded another if on the ground. This is what was turned off.

I agree 100% with the endless running, and no loss of stamina, but potions almost completely nullify this, so what's the point?
