Some might think people would use more if they could carry more, but that's a gamble. Either way, as far as Honey goes, Sylph sells just a little under 2 stacks a day. That will not meet the demands of crafters, and the few who will farm it will attempt to jack the price, of which this expense is then passed off to the buyer, who will more than likely refuse when you start looking at 85k+ for a stack of drops (Hint: NPCs offer a ceiling value that Alchemists can never go past in excess) and so crafters lose interest, drops stop showing up on the AH, farmers lose interest, and the cycle more or less repeats in what I consider to be unhealthy economics as supply and demand through feast and famine.
I thought people just bought echo drops from the NPC and listed them on the AH for profit. I did that one day out of boredom.
