Very wrong. For sts the elixier is a good source of income. For players it can be either a good gold conversion (selling lix for gold) or it preserves the value of items by limiting the rate of drops. In fact after Northall vanities were released i bought about 10 elixiers from cs for 200k and looted 2 vanities which i sold for a bit less then 3,8m. I call that win win win. Of course this is not typical, but we run a lot for vanities and with the right team it pays off.
