I'll use Silver Bullets and/or Stakes in PvP when my IS is completely drained. Anything to stay, I say.
Should they have a reuse timer? Maybe. They never have before though, so don't blame it on CR2.
I agree with the Angel.
If you want a clean fight, have a duel. PvP is a completly different world. People who take pills, TB's, Anti's, boosters, inhalers even use stakes, holy water and silver bullets are in my opinion, prepared. If you don't think it's right for people to use the consumable items put in the game for that very reason then don't flag. The tide of PvP can swing around in seconds, if you're winning then suddenly losing, take consumables. I know I don't PvP to get killed, and if I'm getting killed I'll take whatever is on hand at the time. If I happen to have a stake or two from random lootz (that I havn't sold) expect to find it lodged in your chest.
I guess I'm like Steven Colbert and George Bush, I'm going from the gut (kudos if you get that joke), and my gut tells me consumable tools (not to be mistaken with consumable pills) truly do not have a place in PvP. Also, circular arguments, "if they're using them, so should you" isn't the best way to prove your point. Example: Lets escalate that argument to the extreme. You jack in one day and see a massive pvp fight. Everyone has managed in one way or another to get into an interlock situation (again, this is hypothetical). Rather than see the usual barrage of knives, extreme falling kicks and dual pistol executions, all you see are silver bullets, wooden stakes and holy water, every round, every one using them. Stop for a moment and picture that, close your eyes, let it sink in. If that image appeals to you, please post here and show it proudly and loudly. For the rest of us, please post how disgusted you are with that image. I'm digusted.

I'd definitely be disgusted if I jacked in one day and all I saw was the spamming of silver bullets.
You really don't have any reason to be disgusted, it's a game, it's a combat stuation, everyone has the same ability to use the same tools if they have met the same challenges. It's not a good idea to call a linear argument circular. It makes it sound like you are using the term circular argument to discredit a perfectly logical statement. If your opponent has an advantage over you that you are reasonable able to also gain, then it follows that good sense would dictate that you go and aquire the same advantage to level the playing field.
That is why it's okay to use them, because everyone is able to get them equally, it's a fair system if maybe a little over-powered, but it's over-powered for everyone. Just because you don't like the way it looks or concept from an RP POV is really beside the point, don't get so upset over something so superficial, go get some of them yourself and balance the playing field for a while THEN make a determination as to where they should be used and how.
This is hardly a moral dilema.
