If the effects of the elixirs were stacked, then they stacked and I was incorrect. This still does not change the fact that I did not abuse this. If we had, wouldn't we have stacked the elixirs over and over and gotten to the point where we could have 1-hit the bosses purely on dmg boost? An arena LB time for all 1-hits would be slightly over 1:00 (because of the 20 second wait time between killing a boss and spawning the next one), and not the 1:45 we were doing (actually a reasonable time for high geared group of 4 rogues using daggers for 35% armor reduction on bosses - try it now. Believe me, you'll be impressed with what fully Noble finesse & para slotted mythic and arcane gear can do).
As I said, pure could have easily been wiped as well. One thing that really needs to be understood is that there was so little competition for the leaderboard times for Arena that (except for 1 specific time I know a friend of mine got on pure) I'd venture to guess that there was AT MOST 5 times on the board that were with a challenger (including both pure and enhanced). Times without a challenger are not even what I consider "real" leaderboard times, since a single challenger (even with very bad environments & bosses) can clear out those times.
I agree with you that if people did abuse a stacking elixir effect to gain an unfair advantage over other players, it's not cool and those players do not deserve any banners they got. But I know who I am and what I did for the Arena times and it was not cheating. No amount of anybody saying otherwise will change that. I know I earned the banners I got fair and square.
As for your last question, that's something you should ask SpaceTimeStudios about. I do not have the answer for that.
