It really feels good to price gouge on the AH

So many items where all I have to do is click buy auction and it’s like looting 3-5g.

I especially love it when I get to hoard up essential mats, making sure I can take advantage of the pools of gold the wider playerbase will have to fork over if they want to get through AQ.

Is this supposed to be a troll or trigger people? This is just standard making gold on the AH, literally thousands of players do this every day.

he thinks he is some sort of genius for buying elemental earths ahead of time when literally every player on the planet is doing the exact same thing, so many people are doing it that items in classic have tended to crash post patch instead of rise and are at their max values weeks before the patch because you can sell to geniuses like the OP who think they are exploiting the playerbase instead of buying from other goblins who bought their ele earths 6 months ago…

That’s funny. I’ve already turned a 6x profit on my initial investments, and I can guarantee you the markets for several items I’ve stocked up on will perform well enough to cash in another 4x boost.

Why am I posting about it? Because I wanted to talk about how nice it is to make bank off other players. Nothing more.

OP was probably bragging about it to someone else, that person in turn got triggered and went REEeEeEEeee. Now op seeks validation.

Wow, you mean to tell me that it’s possible to play the auction house? Big if true.

Strictly speaking hording gold or playing for gold is a pure amateur move. The professional players have already stockpiled a huge amount of mats. Personally I don’t keep more than 4-5k gold on hand because Gold only loses value over time while resources will increase in value.

Black lotus, GSPP, GNPP, Firebloom, Herbs, enchanting mats, etc… fill those bank alts with all the things.

But Gold is meh.

Yes. Every marketplace is pvp between liquidity takers and providers, one big battle royale determined by reaction speed, experience, and asymmetric information. It’s a well known and integral part of this game and many others like it. It’s always an engaging and challenging game if you have enough players participating in volume.

But rilly doe, you shouldn’t let yourself become too satisfied with yourself or you’ll quickly find out the movie you just watched about stock brokers which got you so stoked on markets, is outdated from the 80’s and everyone else on your trading floor has an IEOR postgraduate degree, programming expertise + series 7, 55, 63, 65, 87 and CFA III

Oh yeah f the stock market. I’ll pass on that one. The wow classic market has been very rewarding and fun to play with though

Hate to break it to you, but if any guild struggles with AQ40 it’s not going to be because they don’t have access to consumables. It’ll be because they have tons of terrible players to begin with. MOST decent guilds have been prepping for months.
