    I'm not a farmer. As a PvPer, I absolutely would not spend platinum just to level up. But there are those people who buy platinum just for PvE. If they could utilise some of that platinum to make some gold directly, why not?

    In my mind this is what the situation would be:
    Initially few people buy elixirs because they want others to buy for them. Realising the demand for elixirs and the lack of supply, they start buying elixirs themselves to sell. Eventually it becomes a standard way to make gold in PL.

    What would you recommend if everyone found out about this method and began to buy elixers just so they would de value. This would most likely happen because people would figure this out and assume they could make heaps of gold. This wouldnt be the case if everyone began to buy elixers.
    You should've gone for the head...

    If everyone began to buy elixirs, STS would make a lot of money lol. Can we not compare making elixirs trade-able to the trade-able plat bought items at end game? People bought them right? The problem with plat bought items is that there is always an increase in the number of such items. When it comes to elixirs, it is a one time use. They come and go. There will always be a deficiency. There will be a slight decrease in price from the first moment of the update to a later stage but that happens for every item. Eventually it will standardize and there will be a balanced inflow and usage of elixirs. Which in turn will encourage buying of more elixirs.

    As I said in my thread, it has already worked in AL. And th reason is the periodic deficiency in elixirs because of its one-time usage as I stated above. I hope I've convinced you.

    This is woudl not happen. People would buy loads of them and after 2 days the price would drop immediately.

    I've already given my counter argument in an earlier post which you probably haven't read.

    You're thinking short term as I see it. In the span of a week, the price of the elixirs would keep decreasing. In the span of maybe 2 weeks, the demand for elixirs would have increased again due to the shortage. It is a cycle.
