Elixirs and their timers

[Lysdexic]

I would like to propose a change to Elixirs and their timers.

Before I begin, I would like to state that I'm in no way stating that STS lose out on their bread and butter. I am all for sending them their dues and am making this suggestion in hopes to spur even more income in their direction due to the reluctance to use time based elixirs on some occasions.

Currently, the timers on Elixirs countdown even when not in combat or logged off. I believe they should only trigger while in battle. I also believe that will actually assist with their purchasing:


There are numerous occasions when a player cannot dedicate 30-60 minutes of direct playtime.
There are connection and server faults out of the players control (I do know that STS has been quite nice when it comes to refunding due to server drops).
There are some users who are parents and simply cannot dedicate that amount of time due to their children (this is the one that affects me the most and has caused me to spend far less Platinum).


I've sent hundreds of dollars to STS and will gladly continue, so please take this request quite seriously.

Thank you

Yes! I rarely even purchase the gold elixers because Im not sure how it will turn out. I dont know when im going to have to do some chores on a short notice or something. I have to be careful even with the free vincent pot. When levling megamule to 30, I saved the vincent pot to get from 29 to 30 solo. but at the last 1/3 of the xp and last 7 minutes of the pot, I had to go do some stuff.

I would prefer if the pots would only count while you are in a dungeon. Not in towne or if you arent even online.
