Na, those things don't bother all that much merely because they are on a
pretense of something else entirely different.
Player Mentality.
All of those would be relatively "common" in that their abilities have
drawbacks and the like while "Immortality" seems to be the one "drug"
that
makes people go and do the dumbest, stupidest, things I have ever seen in a
game (any game for that matter). The other "potions" in SR, as such as they
are, don't really mess with the overall mechanics of the game. "Immortal
Flower" as a concept, is something else entirely different IMHO.
