You're arguing with me over a point that I am not making.
I'm explaining why what you want is a bad idea. I don't really care what your point is tbh when the end result would crater an entire economy. Not trying to be a dick, but yeah.

If you want to make a point about the economy, then consider the fact that demand for alchemical consumables is currently very low.
Yes, the demand is very low at the moment. I feel like I addressed that at some point and said that when more raid tiers are released they'll likely revisit the Lasher farm thing. Maybe that was another thread, I dunno. Definitely something I've considered and something I'm fairly certain the devs have considered.

Consider that, after 7 years of TWoW, flask prices ranged between 45-65g
Yes and on Twow the economy was drastically different, Felcloth sold for nearly 10g, they're what 1-2g here? Golden Pearls sold for 20-25g, and they sell for around 3g here. Black Lotus sold for what 15g roughly, and they're 4.5g here. Various herbs were also more expensive, but from my perspective as a player that's relatively engaged in the economy side of things the cost of Flasks was mostly due to people just being able to make gold a lot easier in general. If you look at the price differences of the materials I listed bove, well for example Felcloth was 5x more expensive, Pearls were like 7x/8x more expensive, and Lotus were 3x more expensive. Meanwhile Flasks were only 2x - 3x more expensive. Makes sense to me, tbh.
It's hard to compare the two servers though. That said yeah I agree that once future raid tiers are released and demand increases that the Lasher farm thing could be looked at again but BWL isn't even out for another two months, and I don't think BWL will really increase demand *that* much especially considering with the release of ZG which no one really consumes for, there will be slightly more herb availability as many people farm the shit out of ZG, doing reset runs for bijous, rich thorium, and herbs. ( To be fair it won't be a huge factor for Herbs, but it's a factor. )
