The 5 min potion problem

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.

hmmm you can`t look at the potion and see the duration? when i look at damage absorb potions on there, it shows the duration as 5 sec vs 30 sec etc, i make my on potions, but when I looked at armor potions on there I was pretty sure you could see the duration.

However look at the name Fleeting anything is a short duration potion, Lasting is normally a long duration

the names of the potions have been changed already to sepperate 5min and 30min potions in the AH because of people not looking when they try to buy off the complete stock in AH to then sell it on higher prices. If you still miss click and buy them, then maybe check twice when bulk buying to control the marked and play Trader mini game.

I think they should just ban players for posting those. It's clearly intended to scam players.

It isn't me that I'm concerned about. It's newer players. This scamming is not a positive to the game.

There is no ''Scam'' at all. The Names of the Potions with 5 min that got made without an extender got their name changed some patches ago to prevent unintended buying while looking for 30 min potions that were made with extender Apo ingredient. Maybe stop dramatizing something that got already addressed.

Many times people craft the fleeting once on accident or to simply dump ingredients and or level Apo. It is their right to put them into the Auction House. There is nothing forcing anyone to buy from the AH. The same way none is punished for putting Trash purple gear for hundreds of gold.

If there was no scam, they wouldn't put them up for similar prices to 60 min potions. If there was no scam, no one would possibly ever buy them. But they do.

Are you someone who thinks that Nigerian prince emails aren't a scam because it's obviously not true? Obvious to you maybe.

Seems gunlinger is one of the person who like to scam new people with fleeting poptions in the ah. I mean If people dont want to scam they would sell the fleeting potions way cheaper....

Would be nice If this potions would be deleted from the game. At least for armor and stat potions.
