lol not happening. Is much easier and cheaper to paid for a run with cash and get better gear than crafted gear.
btw in a free market people will under cut you. You should be lucky to be getting 2k gold. In fact you should be giving gold to the person asking you craft an item coz they are helping you to level y our profession.
Plenty of crafters are doing orders for very little commission, if you don’t like it - get another profession. Why would anyone pay more if someone is doing it for cheaper?
I’d happily craft any item for free if the other player provided the mats, but tips are always appreciated. If you’re looking to make large amounts of gold, you should make items to sell on the AH or just sell the mats you would have gathered to create the items.
I actually took some time to do a little math. A google search told me that the cost of gold hit a high of about $35USD for 300k in the last week. Converting that, you get 1k gold is worth about $0.12. Now lets compare with a regular job, with a decent pay of $40/hr. Let’s also assume, that the crafter is slow and it takes a full 60 seconds to complete an order. Then that person would earn $0.67 per order. Converting back to WOW gold, it’s approximately 5714 gold. From this, I think, people tipping anywhere from 1 to 5k is more than fair and should be appreciated.
The absolute arrogance and entitlement of people like you and a few others here.
“not like you’re doing any work”
High end crafters have spent more than a healthy IRL time grinding rep for higher renown levels to unlock these designs/recipes/patterns.
On top of searching for every single hidden profession treasure to unlock specific slots to customize the epic items.
Then the absurd amount of mats farmed and/or bought off AH to lvl their prof enough to get to these epic patterns in week one and two that you people want.
Anywhere you go for any kind of service people usually tip 10% at very min of the cost of an item or service; it’s just considerate.
“yOu’Re JuSt CliCkInG a ButToN”
If you’re one of the people who says this please check yourself and stop being so damn cheap. And I don’t want to hear like you cant afford it.
Ya’ll have the gold if you’re putting in requests for epic items or jewels etc…or 4-5 star rare profession equipment.
With the basis that the token wage being the baseline “wage” per hour…
Crafting takes lets say…30 seconds of work.
20 / 60 is .33333333333. .33 rounded. You worked half of one of those. So rounding with you in favor you got .17 cents of work.
So lets use the same for gold. 170000/60 is 10,200. In half that is 5100 gold. You asking 50k yes, is ludicrous and no wonder people laugh at you or ignore you
