Potions and coupons expiring on disconnect/crash

Hi there,

This post is made mainly concerning the Legion's Wealth coupon and Wealth Acquisition potion (other similar items i.e. Rainbow 2x Meso Coupon). These and other use tab items happen to be central to the meta of reboot. Last year during one of the "Better Maple" updates, a much-needed change was brought over from KMS that prevented the loss of drop coupons through a disconnect or crash, something that used to be extremely frustrating during long farming sessions. Months later, this same change hasn't been extended to the two mentioned use tab items, which both serve as sources for increasing meso obtained while farming. Whether on behalf of the game's instability or a person's unstable internet connection, losing meso obtained buffs to disconnecting or crashing is extremely frustrating and frankly unnecessary. It is even moreso frustrating considering the fact that the amount of Legion's Wealth coupons that one can purchase per week is limited and every coupon lost is a healthy amount of legion coins going to waste. Wealth Acquisition potions are just as valuable since they require one of the rarest materials (Juniper Berry) as well as a time-limited recipe. Without any Juniper cores to use in Evo Lab and the inability to trade in the Reboot server, the availability of resources for high-end potions is quite sparse thus increasing the effective value of each Wealth Acquisition (or other high-end) potion. It's also slightly inconvenient that using a wealth potion becomes a 2 hr commitment where you cannot change character in the case of someone who plays a main that isn't great at farming and uses a secondary character to do the majority of their farming. Having to choose between losing a potion or attending something like invasion or flag race realistically doesn't need to be a choice that exists.

I, and many other players, would like to see a change made to meso obtained buffs and other potions/usable items that allow them to persist through disconnects, crashes, or even changing characters. EXP and most drop modifiers are now safe from any interruption, there's no reason this safety net shouldn't be extended to other valuable usables. It's frustrating to see that this issue has been acknowledged, forwarded, (http://forums.maplestory.nexon.net/discussion/18365/wealth-acquisition-potion-expires-when-you-dc/p1) and still remains unresolved. Please help us out here, or just make the common-sense change that would only serve to further improve gameplay. Plenty of things have been going in the right direction recently and this seems like a particularly easy/popular problem to fix.

I look forward to the day when I don't have to joke around that "wealth potion is a dc trigger."
