why do you think you should make 20 gold profit just for 1 second of crafting?

AH price of material to make one spell power flask with elixir mastery is 30g.

Maybe he was just tired of people overpricing eacg flask by 20gold when it takes 0 effort to make.
If you start now with efforts , i can say it was a effort to skill alchemy up? Its a effort to craft them ? Its a big effort to check the prizes to get mad skrilla.
