I don't know whatever it is you guys do with your time, but I've never in my gaming time had to farm anything (except some primals to get my professions maxed, but that I didn't do for money)... I have bought an epic flyer, though, and my guild used to raid on consistent basis (and we weren't even imba, and never died), so I had to take care of consumables.

I haven't used that many elixirs though, outside of ZA. Mana potions I do have to drink on consistent basis in boss fights. Even as a paladin I'm not mana-efficient enough to go through boss-fights with 12k mana on my disposal (unless it's something as ridiculously easy as first bosses in Kara or something), so I wouldn't even want to imagine what it's like for some less mana-efficient class, or what it's like in BT or Sunwell...

That's why I was rather worried when I first heard of Potion Sickness. Were they going to make boss fights so short you couldn't even tell them from the trash, or what? I'd have supported pushing the cd of potions upwards a notch or two, that wouldn't make them absolutely useless, just a bit less so (joke).

I do hate buying mana potions at the price 14-16g/5, though... So I do hope they come up with some great mp5 stuff or something... Or maybe they'll just give us back the original Illumination :o
