Buff Pot Timer 10m-->20m

What I've talked to countless people about and seems to be a continuous conversation piece in discord is extending the Buff pot timer from 10 minutes to 20 minutes. I sometimes don't even get in a fight in 10 minutes and have to rebuff. I'm not asking for 30m or an hour, just a reasonable amount of time where I could at least get into a fight before rebuffing. Almost everyone else I've talked to agrees the 10 minute buff pot timer is a pretty big annoyance and distraction from RvR. It's unfortunately necessary for solo or a stealther, no way around it if you want to win in RvR. So if it was less annoying and costly to be viable in RVR that would be a big step forward

The only upside I see for having a shorter timer is that it forces stealthers to pop more often and giving them a short exposure to enemies knowing their location, creating more fights ultimately. However usually it's not busy enough that no one sees my location anyways, or I hide in a building while doing it. I've also not been able to see other stealthers location when they're doing this so I don't think that point is relevant.

I think it would be a huge improvement overall to the enjoyment of RVR which can sometimes involve lots of waiting. Thanks for reading!

If there was a change to increase the up-time of the current buff potions or additional versions with longer times there should be an increase to material and phoenix tear cost in my opinion.

Where does it end? Charges were too troublesome for people to want to juggle so now I’m out 30 intelligence when I solo or small man. Now the complaints start about buffpots. You have to click one button every 10 minutes, it’s not that big of a deal. The only time it’s ever an issue is when your pot runs out shortly after a fight and you have to wait 60 seconds to rebuff and get jumped in that time. This is pretty rare in my experience.

No plans on changing that.
