Howj, it's not that simple. I'm sure they could do this but it clearly takes a lot more work, there are many other things to consider. First of all, specline buff shears aren't the only buff shears that exist, so now you have to change all of the proc buff shears, or random buff shears now have to either randomly take away a buff or randomly have a stat debuff. And then you have to consider that a buffer class can instantly 'cure' someone from a buff shear by rebuffing them.
I don't think I need to go into more detail, but I'm once again making the point that its about 20x easier to take the existing buff npc's and allow characters to summon them for just enough time to buy some buffs and then have them disappear.
