I have around 7million across the 3 servers made mostly in wod and legion. I dont play the ah so outside of tokens I dont really spend a lot.

Doing 1~2 hours each day only gathering herbs/ores will easily give you at least a WoW Token.
I think 1 million is not a lot if you take a look, but letās just say that jumping from node to node is not the most fun thing ever, thatās why most people are stuck at 200~300k.

LOL, not me.
I just struggled to spend 419,000 on the Rustbolt Resistor two days ago. Almost didnāt do it, but I wanted it for my mechagnome, so whatever. Iām back to broke again.
Honestly donāt know how people get so much. I mine, skin, grab herbs, and attempt to sell pets that NEVER sell.
Iām not stressing it, but I donāt have RL funds to buy tokens, so any gold I get is very minimal, and since I like questing and leveling alts, thatās all I end up doing most times Iām on anyway. Maybe if I spend hours mining and skinning it would be worth it, but doubtful. /shrug

Actuallyā¦ if you farm WoD raids you get a ton of gold just by smashing mobs.

Have 1.2 mill right now but back in legion on all my drunk raid nights i gave away over 2 mill gold. Kind of regret it now but it was fun times lol. N legion is where i made most of my gold
Probably about 25-50% of active players who actually play the game. Only people broke in this game are casuals.

Iām sitting at close to 1.5 million on two characters. Thereās just not much to spend gold on so it accumulates over time. Iāll buy the occasional tokens for blizzard balance for services and maybe a mount here and there. The only crafting I do is alchemy on this character and I gather all the herbs myself.

Iād bet less than 5 percent. Iād be surprised if more than 10 percent ever had 1 million gold.

When I take into account gold from this expansion alone (I finished Legion with about 400k) over the course of due expenses like repairs, flasks, potions, herbs, etc, Iāve gained something in the realm of 6-7mil. My current standing liquid gold is still at 1.06mil. My total character assets if I were to dump everything right now, is valued about 1.5mil (rating my account at 2.5mil or so in total gold).
Honestly? I even play month-to-month with WoW tokens, and all my gold has come from a super lucky BoE (sold for 1.2mil) and throwing stuff on the AH. Sadly, my current realm has a rather undesireable player who continuously drops the price of the AH by immediately reposting consumables with roughly a 15 second delay between undercut and reposting.
I didnāt play in WOD or Legion, and I have about 200k gold. I also bought one of the frog mounts awhile back. I feel like a balla.

How about this: Having played some classic. You really deal in copper, silver and only much later gold.
Why not a platinum, diamond or Ruthenium currency and reduce these numbers. I mean theyāve already scaled back to 60 for SL.
Thereās also all these alternative currencies that become obsolete after an expansion, but it would be nice to have an exchange bank for that stuff. You know my max manashards, apexis, etc. Convert that to gold or higher after I move into the next expansion or even during.

If you are happy doing this and having fun in the game, that is all that matters.
As far as gold making goesā¦there is no raid in existence that can compare to making gold on the AH. There is so many ways to make gold and so much gold that can be made that if you make 1/2 a million gold on one sale it would take weeks of farming all raids to make something like that where as you can make that 1/2 million gold in a couple of minutes on the AH.

That much I know, but Iām really not into crafting or flipping auctions over, Iād rather play the combat part of the game.
Also, playing the AH heavily depends on which server you are playing on.
Many friends already left my realm for Stormrage and some others due to the state of the AH here (and to avoid the HUE BR behavior prejudice, which while not unfounded, isnāt nearly as prevalent as people like to assume).

Most everyone in both of my guilds are pretty much poor something like 100k or less.
Iād image itās pretty low. Maybe 5% or so. The most gold Iāve ever had was 300k or so.
I disagree with that. Sure you did well, Iāve also done well, but the āfun factorā is WAY less than WoD and Legion. BfA was designed to drain gold out of the game - so even world quests ask for 5,000 gold worth of mats to reward you with 135 gold. Itās quite silly.
Now I made about a third of what you made in BfA, but my strategy is to not burn out so I only dabble with the AH using TSM (and sure, Iāll mass post stuff) and overall it is very productive use of time.
But I really hope they go back to a healthier in game economy in Shadowlands, because that is more fun. It was way more fun when professions were actually useful instead of just as āgarbage gear until I get a dropā as they are now. And craftable legendaries were awesome.
I agree we will never see mission table gold again, thatās gone. But profession gold was part of the social aspect of the game that Bliz has worked hard to destroy.

I would have a lot more if I didnāt decide to dip my toe into the AH and make a very, very bad investment.
My guess is that a lot of players (maybe most?) would have one million gold across all of their characters. Far fewer would have over one million gold on their individual characters.
Sitting on 2.1 million.
Well i wasnāt talking about fun although i find making gold to be fun personally. But as you attested you made between 5 and 7 mill. gold or there abouts, so making gold is still healthy.
As far as the quest goesā¦yea i mean if you are spending 1k gold to make 100 gold, donāt know what to tell you other then lol. That was in general, not you as in you personally.
Also remember we still have about 1/3 to 1/4 of BfA to go, so there is still plenty of time to make gold.
