In the last 2 months, I’d say I’ve made ~2.5 million gold?
If it makes you feel any better, I have lost about 5 million gold leveling professions on a bunch of toons. The ‘new’ system is trash and way over complicated.

5 million?.. 
How did you put yourself through that?
I’m just trying to get them done as quickly as possible. 
Initially I thought prices for mats would come down quicker, but they have really stayed pretty high considering. Just doing the patron orders each day on 8 toons can be anywhere form 25-50k+ depending. If I wait, I can probably make back about 15-20k. More If I look for people looking to craft, but that takes a lot of time.
It’s like blacksmithing is still busted. I still get daily order totals that are 50-100k+. It’s absolutely ridiculous.

I’ve made all my gold this expansion simply crafting things to sell on the AH.
Concentration is great for people who don’t want to spend all day in trade chat or farming.
Just click a button once a day and make 2k gold. Multiply that by however many level 70+ characters you have.

The crafting professions are all good.
The gathering professions don’t give nearly enough materials, though.
Blizzard bent over backwards to the “make mats hard to get so I can sit at home all day and pay for my sub that way” crowd.

Yeah, I made a solid amount just making 3 star materials using concentration that were used in weapons and armor early on.
They can’t be that hard to get when most leather and herbs are under 5g each.
Concentration is still worth around 10g each for most professions. You just have to pick the right recipes.

Which materials specifically? Also that was early on. I mean currently is that viable?
They are now; they weren’t when way more people were still playing. Pay attention next time.
Yes it is still viable, but there might be other things that are more profitable. For example, rank 3 codified greenwood is still pretty expensive, but you would probably make more profit by using concentration on Vantus Runes instead.
The reason for this is Multicraft. Multicrafting a Vantus Rune gives you more gold than multicrafting a Codified Greenwood.
Alchemy: Harmonious Horticulture
Blacksmithing: Alloys
I recommend you get the addon craftsim to show you how much concentration is worth for different recipes (Recipe Scan)

If people weren’t still playing, mats wouldn’t still be reducing in price. It means people are still farming them. Profits are reducing because people are already fully geared.
In other words, demand for mats is slowing while supply is still at the same level.
I am still making about 50k gold per day (I have 9 alts that I spend concentration/fill patron orders on each day. This takes about 5 minutes per character per day).
Apart from concentration crafts, the patron orders that reward Augment Runes are still a good source of gold, the runes are still worth around 1300g each on NA.
Yeah I’m talking to people who don’t benefit from 3rd party programs. Bye.
Well almost every class has 2 BiS pieces come from crafting. I pay 10k to get my 619s made on alts. Id pay 25k when i get 90 gilded and buy a gilded crest. Sadly M+ is way tougher this season as DH tank to get crests. None of my interupts work other then my actual interupt. That change alone made m+ way harder. I have 4 AoE interupts in the form of fear, silince, stun, and chains. But they just re-cast after now. Used to be easy to carry all interupts for the group, but now that i actually have to rely on players to not be stoned out of their minds and walking into wall, the mid-high lvl keys are so brutal.
khorium is really rare though.
repair bots I think

So basically, the reason you make gold is, you play the game to make gold.
The game is, you login to make gold.
That’s awesome, and I’ve been there for some xpacs I didn’t like, I just made mountains of gold instead, but that doesn’t jive with people who want to do M+ or Raids, or PVP as a personality trait.
As someone who used to play the AH as its own game using the addons, they should break those addons and end the goblinism of the AH or at least dial their capabilities way back.

I would go further and just remove gold… We saw what that would look like in remix and it seems like it would make a better game.
I can’t really fathom why people enjoy professions or why people who enjoy playing the game need to endure it to appease them. Won’t happen I know. Not with the wow token.
