Well, I'd say it SHOULD in order to have value and not be a potion that's DoA. I'd like these things to help the game economy some.
As would I. Bear in mind, people leveled and played the game just fine without some of these buffs for a great many years.
I do think you need to drop the whole DOA thing though. It might be to you, but not everyone.
When it was initially proposed ~12 Years ago, it was likely a pretty solid idea to inject something into the game. Now, commons, outside minor arena use for those with HP, are frag items.
What on earth makes you think the buff idea is 12 years old? Exaggeration, thy name is "Toreth"!
If I might offer a suggestion? What if Trendy were changed to "Rare" instead of "Common?" They don't have the same level of crafting bonuses, so less bonuses I mentioned before, too - changing to "Rare," though might would get some to farm some champs for their items some as they could have new-found viability across all level ranges. It's an instant boost to nearly every aspect of the game, and it allows the potion to remain a more modest level while seeing use.
I suppose we could change it to Rare or Unique but that pushes its release back to whenever I can get some code time. Probably when I get the Loyalty Stashes implemented.
