Difficulty of ALC potions

[keyburz]

I never argued that specialist harmed sales.

Well its certainly not the reason why these potions arent being crafted/sold much.

It actually is one of the reasons, because of the very nature of specialists means there are less ALCs who could craft these, compared to x-pots, which were just general recipes.

If they remove the tag, nothing will happen because they're currently not worth the effort, which is what this topic is about. Stay on topic please.

Your own last sentence just supports my argument, because you're basically stating it isn't worth the time to craft, and you only do it because you "like to help the server."

So which is it? Is it the reason or isnt it? Because first you say that its one of the reasons why the situation is the way it is, but then you immediatly say that removing it will have no effect, so therefore it ISNT. This is what i dont understand about you. You say one thing, but then you have this disconnect between your posts, and you completely say something different that doesnt align with your posts

Please stop veering the discussion off topic.

When I made the line talking about real world investments, its called an example. The example is to demonstrate how difficult it is to invest in a new product, not the issue of the specialist tag, which you seemed to believe (at first) was the cause of the lack of potions being moved through the market, but then post afterwards that the specialist tag has no effect.

I wouldn't call an entire week spent trying to sell 13 potions "flying off the shelves." You could've easily made way more money selling something else that sells consistently and with greater profit margins...like x-pots.

Its called sarcasm, since that flew over your head. Im showing the ridiculousness of the idea that removing the specialist tag would somehow "fix" the situation
