You guys crack me up when you want realistic explanations for a fantasy game in which most of it is not real lol. A game needs to be enjoyable not explainable. For me hunting will be rather boring if all you get in loot drops are mats. I highly doubt rare mats will be dropping from bunnies. To that regard there will never be a reason to kill one or any other creature that will not drop the rare mats. Basic mats will be dropping on everything which means the supply will heavily outweigh the demand.

The fairly inexpensive gear crafted only from base mats will be used (and destroyed) a lot in zvz. Besides, there could be a big variety of base mats dropping from different mobs. This should keep the economy running on demon and human planet. I don't understand how the economy will work on furries planet tho.

PoE has the best crafting economy. you can get any white item and turn into a bis. again, hp pots aren't designed to keep the player alive, it's meant to keep them enough until other forms of healing hit. PoE now has regen builds so the pots aren't really HP based so much as support (reduced damage from x type, more damage, etc).

PoE has Hodradric cube kind of transmutation and random item modding, not crafting... Unlike in PoE where you can afford to mod an item 50 times until you get the right stats, in a full loot game items are expendable so you probably wouldn't afford crafting an item a bunch of times until you get the right mods just so you lose it on the next death.
Anyway, this derailed a bit from the original argument about PoE style potions. Imo, they have no place in a game like this.

i haven't played mmos where the hp pot is a heal over time, or i have and already forgotten about it. then again i have the most time spent in WoW, i dont remember UO pots and i can't even remember if Rift had them.

Then maybe I am wrong. In the mmorpgs I played healing potions mostly gave hp over time (Lineage, Lineage2, GW, GW2, Archeage and Albion).

@Gothix I would hate it just as much...but I´d sure use if it would give me any advantage in PVP

i dont see how an open inventory, reducing your viewable range, would give you any advantage in PvP. unless you have a 3 monitor setup and can still get the full view range a single setup would get.

I agree, in a sandbox game gear shouldn't be obtained with killing monsters, it should be only craftable.

Eve is a sandbox but it has loot drops too.

if anything i think the normal worlds would have very little loot drops but the asteroids could have them.

Welcome!
