It’s the same on my server (Mankrik). I needed two patterns, one for my mage and one for the BE spriest I’ll roll come pre-patch. I set my HS in Winterspring and paid Qia regular visits but never once saw the runecloth gloves pattern.
I noticed recently that it goes for the same price as the runecloth bags patterns on the AH, which I’ve been able to buy twice so far, so I just bought two runecloth glove patterns and sold the bag pattern, problem solved <.<
More like the market is extremely saturated/competition is really high. Guides be like “Do X task and get lots of gold if there’s nobody else farming this”
It’s funny how Relodis here gets blamed for other players trying to game the system. Like it’s the victim’s fault that people are exploiting an exclusive pattern. It’s not like we’re talking about someone who doesn’t know how to get what they want, or is unwilling to put in the footwork, it’s just that the game was lost before it started. “Them’s the breaks - nut up or shut up.” Reminds me of a guy who farmed firewater all day offering to sell me some. “I’ll cut you a good deal.” I don’t want a deal, I can do the work just fine by myself, thank you. I think I’ve made most of my gold recently as a carry in GDKP. Kinda sad. Don’t really feel like that makes me much better than anyone. Honestly I prefer to just be self sufficient at this point. A lot calmer, doesn’t take long, and I’m available for guildies or just friendly levelers who want a quick group. Blaming someone for being screwed instead of doing the screwing isn’t the answer.
I find more value in the Runecloth Bag Pattern, than I do the Gloves.
That’s an interesting conclusion, considering you said the following:
Players have a right to list items at w/e price they want.
Oh no, the horror of players logging in briefly to see if a Vendor has what they’re looking for and logging out!
No. The point of something being “rare” is to be “rare”.
No, it isn’t. You sat there for 5 minutes and gave up. I’ve (literally) sat at that same NPC for much LONGER than that waiting for the Runecloth Bag Recipe to show. Seriously, you’re not going to achieve much just sitting there for 5 minutes.
