Doing the elixir timer thing might make business sense, but that doesn't mean I'm not gonna whine about it. I'm not sure it even makes business sense though. They could have made other changes to the elixirs, such as making them less powerful (+25% xp and +10% damage/luck/etc, or something like that), but taking something away from your customers is not usually the best business move.
For me personally, I pretty much have no incentive to log in for the chests now, since whatever I get is just gonna go away while I'm offline, and I already have like at least 2-3 each of all the eggs Klaas gives away. I actually thought it was good the way it was before. You could collect elixirs, but they didn't stack, so it didn't matter much. The most you could ever play with free elixirs at any one time was 60 minutes, and that was only if you got lucky and Klaas gave you the combo for one of your chests. I don't know about anyone else, but I was still buying plat elixirs. Now I'm less inclined to, because I feel slighted. I would have felt a lot better about this if STS had even just made the announcement ahead of time to let people know they were going to "correct" this so-called "oversight."
