Not specific to abyssea and not specific to brew. It's been in the game for years. No buff timers count down while associating with any NPC.

Thanks for the additional info.

My point is it's been around for years, there's nothing wrong with it, and there's no need to change it.

Well if it is meant to be there then that is fine. It's for SE to decide if it is intended or not though. If they already have said it works as intended then "my bad".

I think if you're gonna post something like this you should have the balls to put up your character info along with it.
