Ah ok that makes sense, I'm not a big fan of the small buff timers, I know back when Mir was released it was popular in games to have short timers of <5 minutes for buffs but when WoW came along most games started adopting 30min+ timers and its just way better for QOL. This mindset is mainly for personal buffs though as if tao buffs lasted 30min+ I would imagine people would just use them as buff bots and rather than hunt with the taos they would just take their buffs and run
Do you think it would be cool if tao buffs were just permanently on but in order for other players to receive the buff they have to be in range of you? I've seen that on one server before and liked it.
