[GAMEPLAY] Bug or by design: Undoing gold gen items.

The way the undo a purchase button is set up right now, you can get gold generation item(s) wait around for a while then undo them to get the full gold back, plus you can keep the gold you generated whilst having the item. This possibly exploit it most apparent if used on ARAM where players start with enough money for an averice blade and a spellthief's edge. This allow a player to afk in the fountain with otherwise higher risk melee characters generating gold safely, then coming back into the game once they have their core items. Is this a valid gameplay mechanic or an exploit?

Kind of. It's not entirely like they're gaining anything more or less, honestly. The people that would go on without the item, killing enemies for 13-20 gold a pop at one per two seconds or so would generate far more money than the idlers. The idlers would generate far MORE if they were to fight mobs as well, as you still gain gold passively if dead, though at a slower rate.
