I concur 100%. From now on when I receive requests for LW armor, I ask for a labor pot which is 5-7gp off the trade market. Technically I have three toons, so I can pop 3 potions every 12 hours. Most of the LW high tier goods require more than 1,000 labor for the set combines. The going rate of Labor=Gold is that every Labor point spent should yield no less than 1SP per labor point. That is the absolute rock bottom break even value per labor point.
