The 5 min potion problem

[Gobtar]

It's not the most important issue, but... 5-minute level 36+ potions are being used for the most part as a way to scam people out of gold on the AH. Perhaps something could be done to the crafting scaling to avoid this grief. 30 min minimum or something idk. I don't think 5 min post should even exist in the game tbh. It's an archaic design.

Could you let me know how you feel most people are falling for this?

We saw the same issue last year and also agreed we didn't want people to get tricked by it, so we changed the name of the 5 minute items so that searching "Lasting Stanchion" etc would only show the longer versions. Is there another common filter or search people are using that's still making the 5 minute versions show up in the results?

Personally I just remember that armor potions are unguent, so i search for that, so thats how I personally got scammed, I also play alot of alts so unguent is the only name i can go by when trying to find lower level potions for example, and i have to search through a lot of these spam pots.
