I find the economy in this game humorous.

For example, herbs at the AH and cost of stacks of potions.

Wild Steelbloom goes for about 4.5g a stack. Goldthorn goes for about the same... so that's 9g. Both of these are used in Greater Defense potions, so you can make 20 pots (4 stacks of 5) for 9g.

Guess how much the stacks of pots sell for? 2g. Sooo, that's a 1g loss.

Superior Healing pots are the same way, except it's about 11g for the ingredients (7g for 20 sungrass, 4-5g for Khadgar's Wisker) and (at 2g for a stack of 5), a 4-5g loss.

Crazy...

I mean, alchemy probably isn't THE moneymaker as opposed to herbalism, but it's still strange how prices are set. Granted, you can get healing/mana pots as drops, but I have NEVER received a defense/agility or other pot for a drop, so it's not like there is a common alternate source for them.
