These just transfer money from one player to another, most of the time gold “sinks” are those that take the gold out of the economy.
Unless you are talking about vendor specific food/drink (like from the inns) or things like ther permanent rune, what you listed are not really sinks.
Just as an example:
A sink would be the brutisaur, mammoth, yak mounts, the perminant rune, vendor consumables, etc. If you really want to though, you could consider the AH/Artist consortium cut as small sinks (the % both take from selling/comissions)
Sure, Id like to hear your suggestion for a replacement gold sink that will pull as much or more gold from the economy on a regular basis (eg. not a mount or a cosmetic, has it be a recurring cost that affects all players).

I think some treat transmog as something to use daily or whatever, I personally use it seasonally (holiday transmogs for holidays, once I get a full tier set, I mog the highest I have till the next, might start each expansion out with a pre-patch set or heritage one, etc).
Mm, that would require me to believe we need a substitute, and I’m not convinced we need one. I do, however, have some daring ideas I’ve posted above that you can peruse.

I think it’d be neat if they added some sort of long, soloable quest that rewards us with a “perma” mog set that’s free to mog to. Maybe make it one of the secret finding things. Give it a few ways to be obtained, even if one of them is like, collect 10k sheep skins – just to keep people happy. Something riddly, something outright challenging, and something that anyone can get with enough time spent.

More ways with this kind of route would be pretty interesting, I’d prefer it carrying over to alts or being account-wide if they did something like this.
That was even before they removed the cost of the barbershop. More would get cut.
And there’s where the cuts would come from.
I never said it was. But it keeps it from getting too much worse.
Go play Old Republic, then come back to me. lol
That game is why I fight to keep in mini persistent gold sinks.
And either those go up or gold gets cut from elsewhere.
Yep. And it would need cut more.
People wouldn’t buy tokens and Blizz would lose money.
Besides that the rest of the world would just keep on-a-spinnin’.

Eh my main issue with it is that I’m not always carrying enough gold on my alts and it can be kind of annoying having to send money around to mog.

Warband bank will fix that, which is nice.

It sure would be funny if we get tmog fees removed regardless of warbands.
Funny and sensible.
but… you haven’t changed your mog in like, 5 years

It’s like the only thing I spend gold on. Lol. Sure remove it.
This is dated at this point. M+ gives no gold, raid gives no gold. For players that stick to those activities and aren’t doing much else, they have no gold unless they buy a token. Gold sinks aren’t a needed feature. I understand repairing to an extent, but mogging is a different ballpark. Inb4 you say “just do world quests” not everyone has 10 alts they want to spam world quests on, thats a time sink not everyone is interested in for a pittance.

Yes. They absolutely are. Gold making is insanely easy. It needs to go out as much as it goes in.
Nah, mogging itself doesn’t need to be a gold sink.
If you want your gold sinks fine, but it’s clear that people like mogging being free considering how much some do it.
Amazing how this was already covered many times.
How does that relate to this conversation? Do you truly think they’re keeping track of each players gold making rates?
Free would be convenient, but honestly, most transmog changes are less than one dragon racing WQ.
Armchair theory is great from these people because there’s so many hypothetical issues that tmog fees are holding back.
