Is anyone here good enough at making gold to play WoW for free now? I used to be able to make 50k a month in profit years ago, but not anymore. :-\

Well i found it confusing to earn gold in WOD since the professions a few weeks after launch were worthless, people selling the ore for 20-50 silver a pop etc. A guy on reddit said that if the rate was the same as gold selling sites however it would only be like 30k gold for 1 month of game time

I make the majority of my gold from my 4 level 3 garrisons. SY boxes + gold missions with 4 can easily make something like 300-400 a day with no real effort.

Well I haven't played much in 6.1 but Savage bloods plus the Item Upgrades from crafting is what was making me money 3 lvl 100s with barns all cranking out some crafting upgrade use to make me close to 100k a month.

A: We’ve heard feedback from players that they’d be interested in a secure, legitimate way to acquire gold that doesn’t involve the use of unauthorized third-party gold-selling services that, and players not being able to set their prices at all. It actually seems like a system that allows blizzard to sell game time for gold, and for players to buy gold with real money from blizzard, as opposed to a true plex-like system.
It feels like it'll almost be like Steam's item system, only without players setting the price. You see what the current price is and decide if that's worth your money. I think that aspect of it will be fine, and I don't really care that it's going to be so tightly controlled.
Blizzard has an incentive to strike a balance anyway. If the gold to $ ratio is too far off one way or the other the system won't work and Blizzard won't make money.

I've been leveling alts for easy garrison gold. If you run missions 2-3 times a day (e.g. in the morning before work, when you get home, before you go to bed) you can get 250-500g per character per day at least. If you really commit to it with a level 3 Inn + Salvage + Barracks, Treasure Hunters and such it's easily twice that or more. I'm going to have at least 8 churning out gold for me by the time Tokens are implemented.
You can also run Cataclysm 25 Heroics each week for 3-5k gold. Depends on your gear/class and investment level for that.
In any case WoW is basically going to be free for me once this is implemented. If the 30k gold mark is accurate I'll be making that much a week just through garrisons. Altoholicism finally pays off.

I dont care too much about playing WoW for free, but I do see the token system as a legitimate and easy way for buying gold (buy token, sell on AH).
edit: Midwinter 10/10, get fucked BL.

I've been selling mythic BoEs since the announcement with my group netting roughly 40-50k an hour each. WoW will be free for a long time ^^

Yea but how do you go out and make 200k gold. That question is harder to answer than it used to be, i think

You know what makes good easy money? Soloing old raids, Cataclysm raids nets you several grand if not 10k gold every week with little to no effort as long as you have 640+ ilvl. You might want to do Bastion of Twilight on 10 Heroic at low ilvls, and 25H Nefarian is pretty hard but other than that it's easy money. You get nice transmog items, achievements and cool Heroic kill titles too, and if you are super lucky there are also some super cool looking mounts.

Yeah we had that on a previous page digmouse, it seriously is stupid money it could potentially be a "bug" in the good loot. But just doing Firelands HC every week is a cool 500g+

Yea I haven't really been on enough to test what makes the best amount, I was a JC guy last expansion and that made me everything I needed, now I think getting lucky with BOEs and having several crafting professions moving is probably the only way to make that kind of money now
In other news Heroic Blackhand finally dead and we managed to mop up Mythic Ko'ragh the same night, hadn't pulled him in like 3 weeks. Back to server first, this server is so ded

Think best bet for "money" this expansion is Flasks/Pots + Food + Savage Bloods. The people who lazy will buy those 3 things daily i would assume. However Savage blood dropped from like 1.5k each to 500g a piece now on my server since launch. But still for taking elites in nagrand down to 50% hp and trapping them. You get chance for savage blood and u get feasts from it. Gg

But yes this is my way of making gold with minimal effort aswell. Just keep an alchemy alt and a barn running and collect ~10k a week

Passive gold is pretty frustrating to me. A huge amount of people get it, inflating the cost of everything in the market - and it's not hugely scalable, making it hard to mass-buy expensive things.
Especially since with WOD they highly reward having an army of characters pulling in gold, while i only play one char at a time

Dayum Midwinter 10/10 US first. They've been really impressive in BRF.

It's funny because before I resubbed I saw a lot of people in various forums saying WoD wasn't alt-friendly due to the cost/necessity of setting up garrisons. It's not hard to see why when all you really know is that an upgraded garrison runs between 20-30k gold or more; in a world of daily quests that would be ridiculously prohibitive. However, in 20/20 hindsight it's barely an issue since a properly min/max'd garrison is just oodles of free gold.
I've said it before but moving from daily quests, which can take an hour of your time, to garrison missions is the primary culprit. It takes 5 minutes at most to send one character's followers on missions, meaning in less time than it takes to do 25 daily quests I can make 11 times that gold. All it takes is a little upfront time investment, which as an altoholic I'm bound to do anyway.
Then you throw in all the free resources and it's just silly. I have 10 mines, 8 herb gardens, and 4 barns at the moment, and I basically can't run out of herbs/ore/dust/fur/leather unless I want to dump them for primals. I never have to worry about buying enchants or gems because I have 5 Enchanter's Studies in continuous production and 2 Jewelcrafters at work. WoD has taken self-sufficiency to an absurd level.
So yeah, for someone like me who built up a full set of alts over my years of play this expansion is just silly for making gold. In a month or so when I've finished leveling my remaining alts to 100 and have finished recruiting/leveling treasure hunter minions my answer to the "How do you make 200k?" question is going to be "wait a week".

Yeah. To be fair, the vast majority of wow forums have just gone full out retard this expansion. They went from hating any kind of daily quests 6 months ago and cheering for their removal, to begging for a new one to be introduced in 6.1 or 6.2

Question: Is there any place that's worth it to farm "endlessly" atm?

That's the thing about removing daily quests, it's not immediately obvious how you're supposed to make gold when you hit level 100.
I may have ridiculous easy gold income now but when I first hit level 100 I didn't really understand how I was supposed to make gold. The Apexis daily didn't give much, the fishing daily gave even less, and the daily dungeon reward was often eaten by repair bills. After years and years of depending on daily quests for income it wasn't really clear to me what I was supposed to be doing if I needed gold.
I eventually became informed, but I guarantee you there are players out there who don't really care about or pay attention to garrisons and are frustrated because it's so hard to make gold.
