hmm... its not the stuff that you get and use, there is the plat gear also for that, its the in game gear that gets sold in the AH at reduced prices because of the people who buy the elix. This means those who dont have the elix have to work many times as hard. This basically means the people with platinum dominate the in game economy.

if elix drops only blue versions of the same items that cant be traded, then it wudnt be a prolem. If elix lasts for 30 minutes in real time, it wud not be a prolem. If plat drops in game from mobs, then it wud not be a prolem.
