If both options were plat only, then there might be a reason to change things. Either way a little extra luck won't be a big game changer in any way. You can run sewers all you want with it and more than likely you'll still take around the same amount of time to get a pink.
That's an excellent point. I have tremendous respect for the senior players who voice their opposition, but I personally bought the item only bc of the statement that the effect would be permanent. I'd like to get a rose wand too, but I can't because I missed my chance.

This also seems to be perfectly in line with every other game I've played. Spending money helps you save time, you can have the same thing, but it takes longer if you don't get plat/points/whatever.

This hat allows you to potentially save time by not having to wait as long to drop something. I know drops are random, and the effect is small, but statistically this allows you the chance to get what you'd like to faster. I also went and bought an itunes card and bought plat to get this item. Someone doesn't want to use plat, use the elixir
