As usual, you completely fail to see the point, Zarguan, if there wasn't an unfair alchemy monopoly, your words would be true, but as a matter of fact, there really IS one. It shouldn't exist, the organization should NOT even be able to use it as a punishment, since it's an unnatural state, which was never intented at the creation of Lusternia. Can't this get through into your thick skull?
To fix the bloody situation, you either sell to everyone, enemied or not, or have a denizen sell decent quality refills at a decent price, untill Glomdoring comes around and this unnatural, abusable, buggy and faulty situation is finally lifted, please don't be so daft to have me repeat this over and over and over without you ever being able to put even a single good argument against it. You're just radiating bias.

I don't refill for people at all. It is simply not worth my time to make a 10-20 gold profit per health refill.

I've got a thick skull? What's the problem with having someone who is not enemied go and ask to have your vials filled for you? You didn't even address that part of my post.
And, what makes you believe that this is an "unnatural" state of things (rather funny, given that Alchemy requires the Nature skill) and should not be used as a form of punishment for your enemy status to Serenwilde? Are you speaking for the Divine or do you have the original blueprints for Lusternia? Just curious.

...my god, why am I even bothering.
The plans were for each organization to have its opposite, and thusly balance the Basin, leaving no organization with a monopoly on anything at all and a natural enemy to occupy them:
Magnagora opposes New Celest...
Hallifax opposes Gaudiguch...
Serenwilde opposes Glomdoring...
Ackleberry is lost...
It is balanced...
The player base was too small for 4 player-run organizations, thus they didn't implement Glomdoring yet, so it remained for later on. But there is now imbalance, since unlike Magnagora or New Celest, Serenwilde has now a monopoly on alchemy, the only monopoly.
It will balance out later on, since Glomdoring will come about sooner or later anyway. But right now, we're stuck with the imbalance. The situation is bugged, imbalanced, unfair, unnatural, wasn't supposed to be, doesn't make sense....etc.
I sincerely hope I've been clear enough now, if you can't understand this reasoning, you've got some serious issues with the english language and the meaning of objectivity.

You STILL didn't address that you can just ask an ally to go get the potions. *shrug* But yes, we understand that part of the argument. However, the rest of your points don't necessarily follow on from that, perfectly. (It does make sense, by the way, not that that makes it any better.) I like Jello's idea of Bob, or whoever, simply charging for overpriced vials. (While I think he shouldn't need to pay QUITE 2k for a choleric vial, it should be quite a bit less than that, he's willing, and it seems fair. Probably not that expensive, but more than the alchemists can sell them for.) But it's just no good having them be sold at normal prices.
