Not many, to give you an example my reps with new factions are 12,13,12 and 9.
Exactly all I do. I barely leave main city. Tab out and watch YouTube as i wait for queues
I don’t gather. I did very little skinning on this toon as she leveled. But yeah, i don’t gather.
gonna laugh if its like xiv style where u got to log on at least once a month to keep your home or you lose it.
Sounds like you need to get out more. Doing my weeklies and random dumping things on the ah, I got 20k yesterday.
That was like 1 hour of effort and it was passive gold for just doing the things.
Now I could make way more if I went out of my way to farm. But meh. You make plenty just doing dailies and misc mining nodes and grabbing chests as you fly past them.
Sounds like a huge missed opportunity. You could become the “rich” with just a little more effort.
Better get that credit ready OP.
Or invest in a gathering profession.
Laziness, pure and simple.
I mean, I get it. I myself touched 1M for the first time near the end of last year, and with seven max level characters that I alternate between, it certainly isn’t easy to maintain that level at all times. I generally stick around 700K-800K which I feel is more than sufficient. I can understand folks not having the amounts I have, and if the average player is sticking to one or two characters that they play seriously, then I’d say 100K to 250K should be more than enough for them.
But no. Every single time I see one of these “I’m always broke!” pity posts pop up, it’s always the same thing: someone tries to ask them what professions they have, what they do to earn gold, etc. The response?
“lol I don’t do professions, I don’t play the game to work! XD”
“lol world quests are a waste of time! 800 gold is nothing!”
It’s honestly gotten to the point where I don’t even waste time suggesting they at least pick up mining/herbalism anymore. So many of these folks seem to have it in their minds that they need to devote hours upon hours towards farming, yet the mere bare minimum of effort while they are doing something out in the world or happen to come across a node in a delve would likely be an extra 2K to 5K a week.
With the way so many of these folks complain about that mythical 1K per day repair cost (Seriously, how?! What’s killing you 8-10 times in a single two hour play session?!), I would think an extra 5K gold per week would be a big deal for them, but alas: you can’t help folks that don’t want to help themselves.
You have the option of renting a house for more than it would cost to own.
Challenging content.
It was quite literally the final announcement of the Direct, and the official account on Twitter confirmed at the close of it that it was indeed an announcement on player housing as a feature for Midnight.
Announcements don’t get much more blatant than that

See my previous post regarding this. This is the one thing the vast majority of the “I’m broke” crowd always seem to have in common: too lazy to take a gathering profession and maybe hit a random node every 5-10 minutes.
And I’m not even talking actively looking for them: they straight up ignore the random gathering node that just happens to be right in the middle of that pack of mobs they need for a quest. Oh, a node happened to spawn on the main path of this instance on the way to the boss? Nope! Gotta walk past it! Don’t want the run to take an extra ten seconds!
Hate to break it to you, but the “challenging content” that many of these people are doing?
Yeah, $20 says it’s Heroic instances. Likely also a bit of Timewalking thrown in where the tank runs to the end like it’s a damn Mythic Plus dungeon, pulls EVERYTHING while staying just far enough out of range of the healer, ignores a simple yet important mechanic on a boss, then when they eventually die and the group wipes, everyone starts to wonder what happened.
Now, that’s not to say everyone in the lazy player camp is like this, but I’ve seen enough mind boggling behavior on some of my recent low level alts and in TW runs to know it likely isn’t far off.
It has never been easier to make gold just using concentration. It literally takes 1 minute of your time every few days.
easy way to make gold is to take up herbing and just whenever you are waiting for something to start be flying around gathering herbs, it will even now with lowered prices make you 20+k gold an hour.
even just 5-10 minutes can net you a 1000+ gold.
Dont worry it wont cost gold everything will be on the in game cash shop lol
It’s not going to cost anything for basic housing. It’s a literal expansion feature. You get it for buying the expansion. Kinda like Skyriding.
They will however most likely add “premium” housing options and “premium” furniture to the store. The housing options themselves will most likely be based on whichever location you choose to have your house.
Orgrimmar / Silvermoon / Zandalar / Suramar / Dornogal etc.
They will most likely have housing portals in every major city that allow you to access any house from any major city.
But also premium houses will probably be way cooler, bigger, and higher detailed.
You will be able to get all sorts of cool furniture from the world, such as raid bosses, world drops, dungeon drops, and crafting.
This is all most likely going to be how it works in Everquest 2, since the Executive Director of World of Warcraft (Holly Longdale) is the previous Executive Producer of Everquest 2.
She not only invented the best player housing system in all mmorpg (arguably better than SWG even because of the bugs in SWG causing you to lose items and houses permanently), but she also improved upon it for years to make it even better.
Oh, and she monetized the *@&# out of it too. But EQ2 is basically a dead game, so you can’t blame them for doing whatever they can to keep the lights on.
Hopefully it’s not as predatory here, because people would lose their minds if they sold green sparkly floor tiles for 20 dollars in WoW.
I just hope it is nothing like garrisons
i’m hoping they’ll add a new profession or two, so we can make our own furniture ‘n’ stuff, instead of buying it for gold.
maybe add new profession specializations based around it. like, leatherworking could be how you are able to mount heads on the wall, blacksmithing would be for making nails/metal furniture, etc.
and of course, i figure there’ll be stuff we buy for gold too. just like… a recolour of various things we could make. similar to how you get certain mounts from rep-grinds, but can get variants by killing world-bosses ‘n’ stuff.
i can see it already , nice stuff in the shop for real money, if you do not pay you get a milk crate for a chair and a wooden plank for a coffee table.
Respectfully, at this point that’s just pure speculation on your part. Nothing official has been announced other than the fact that it’s part of Midnight and that it’s coming. The Warband Bank is technically an expansion feature of TWW as it was introduced with the 11.0 systems patch, yet you didn’t have to purchase TWW for it. You did however have to pay gold for the tabs.
There is not a single thing that suggests they are just going to give us the house for free when the expansion comes out, and even if they do, I fully expect various ways to decorate it to cost gold. One way or the other, they now have what will be a perfect gold sink if the concern is to permanently drain a few million gold out of the economy each expansion (and let’s not kid ourselves: likely make more than a few folks part with stupid amounts of cash for WoW Tokens as well)
The unfortunate reality is the $90 mount was just them testing the waters.
Get ready for $300 player mansions, and worse lol.
I’m still happy to get my own spot though, it can be modest.
Won’t be spending a penny, just seeing what I can get through gameplay- as it should be.
Heck just posting the greens you get as drops is super easy gold lol.
Like don’t vendor for the 50g. Post it for 500g to 5k depending on slot and stats.
I sold a blue 562 staff yesterday for 5k lol. Had it sitting in my inventory for a month waiting for an alt. Said screw it and posted it.
like…
I think the majority of what people will like to have will be obtainable in game.
The premium options in the store will most likely just be “housing plots” that are unique and different, most likely also bigger than standard houses. The premium furniture will probably just be fluff stuff like floor tiles and seasonal stuff like Christmas Decorations and stuff.
They will probably still let you get a christmas tree and a few christmas doodads in game, but if you want to make a full on christmas village, you will probably have to buy the $9.99 christmas furniture pack.
Basically stuff that most people don’t even care about. Most of us just want raid bosses heads and weapons on our walls and other stuff that’s nostalgic to where you got it from. That will all certainly be aquired by playing the game.
IKR?
