Problem with plat elixir

[Doubletime]

We can't change the client. We added persistent elixirs for 1.7.2. I think more players will be happier than they didn't lose money as opposed to players spending money to grief others.

Wow. Thanks guys for listening to us and trying to address our concerns. This should be a big help. A price nerf would be nice too. But I will take what I can get.

As for not being able to boot, I am not sure I am a big fan of that. I think it may just lead to a new set of problems or complaints from people potting to avoid boots.

I would like to see elixers that last 24hour's/days.
Then make the lower first set of elixers be bought with gold. They last 5minutes.

I would buy elixers with plat if the price and time changed.

I want to support the game other then Tapjoy. The vanity helms dont fire me up to spend plat. They add little boosts like luck and I will buy. The elixers going to plat and getting a rework will give me a way to support something I love to play.

If the prices are all jacked up and it will cost a lot to have them on. I just wont use plat like before.

I'll be happy to spend plat for daily, weekly, or even monthly elixirs. Most free games I've played offer this type of bundle, huge amount of people actually get em.

Thanks for the future change ALS!

Meh. I'd rather take the scenic route...

This will be a tricky thing to solve. Either make the person buying elix happy or the host... As mentioned here already, my guess is that ppl will just start to buy elix so they don't get booted. Good thing for STS as it will probably generate more income, bad thing for anybody hosting a pug. I'm mostly done with pugs anyway and rarely boot anybody regardless of level, so for me personally it wouldn't make any difference.

Curious to see what the solution for this will be...

I would be happy to spend plat on elixirs if they lasted at least an hour and were persistent. Other than that I won't buy them.

What do you think about not being able to boot anyone that has an elixir?

I think that allowing elixirs to still last after being booted would be a simple fix. Change the elixir so that it's "countdown" only occurs when in a dungeon. So the five minutes will still apply if you are in a dungeon for all five minutes, but if you get booted, the countdown will pause until you join your next game.

People who should truly be booted for silly behavior and would pot to avoid the boot can still be reported if it is them chatting horrible things. If they just play bad they will cause the run to fail and eventually run out of plat anyways. I do not see this as being that big of a problem except for someone potting and just following without fighting but then the group can always leave so not in their interest either.
