Huh? Alchemys soul purpose is to bring gp into the game.. thats why you recieve gp when you cast it on an item. Dont need any logic to see that.
Oh but you do! You see, you're not understanding the fundamentals of the spell. Cast alchemy on grain and see how much gp you're bringing into the game. Now realize that ALCHEMY doesn't bring gp into the game, the ITEM does. But lets go with your reasoning and say it IS bringing additional money into the game. It still doesn't affect the economy at all becomes those items would still get alched anyway, just manually instead of batched...
You arent using the resources for game play purposes. If youre smithing, or crafting, you are probably using these items in game instead of converting to gp, in most cases.
What? completely false. You think skillers are using 20k steel plates/emerald amulets/magic longbows in-game? 99% of smithed/crafted items get alched.
Magic is considered a combat skill, and no combat skills are necessarily batched, range is arguable. But by your logic, we should add batched banking, the items will go into your inventory and made into something and deposited manually any way.. why not make it automatic? Every aspect of skilling is batched as far as im aware.
Again, this makes no sense. Magic is a combat skill, but alchemy and superheat are not combat related whatsoever. Nobody suggested all of magic be batched. And I don't even know how to respond to comparing batching a skill to having items teleport from your bank to inventory and automatically crafted. How you came up with that comparison is beyond me.
The purpose of batching is to reduce repetitive clicking, NOT save time. Batching alchemy saves no time but reduces clicking. Your suggested comparison of automated banked does not use the same logic at all, as it would save TIME.
