In my experience just about anything can be profitable to gather, so the most important thing is to farm something that you enjoy farming. make the price cheap enough and mats can be sold in effectively unlimited quantities; making it as secure as any real life job in this economy. And you even get to pick your own hours! Crafting is obviously more difficult.<br /><br />While I think the devs do a good job overall, they have shown in the past that they do not always anticipate the full effects of changes they make. Or perhaps endless dailies to keep up with inflation is working as intended.<br /><br />@LifeDeathSoul: I wonder how much they affect the economy; I could imagine how someone who just does dailies for the fun of it might also be the type who isn't buying flasks and crafted gear and whatnot. Isolated gold doesn't change the economy.Klepsacovichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07915576683657376929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-44020602639423178362010-04-05T20:25:12.808-05:002010-04-05T20:25:12.808-05:00I would agree with you about dailies causing infla...I would agree with you about dailies causing inflation. But for some people out there who don't raid, or PvP, doing dailies could be their way of enjoying the game. So it may not just be purely cause they want to earn gold.LifeDeathSoulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11404279628138864603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-10900409219743798732010-04-05T17:11:29.707-05:002010-04-05T17:11:29.707-05:00dailies are easy. farming requires leveling a gat...dailies are easy. farming requires leveling a gathering profession then researching which materials are needed most, THEN researching the best place/route to gather them, then going to the actual route, then coming back to AH, making sure that you're selling it for a fair (to you as well as the costumer) price, listing it, gathering unsold auctions (there are days when all my auctions sell, but more often then not, I have stuff come back and the more product you list, the more of it comes back), re-listing them.<br /><br />its a very similar process with crafting.<br /><br />entrepreneurship is hard, its risky, it can be a pain in a neck, and you cannot sleep through it if you want to at least break even, let alone make profit.<br /><br />why do so many people prefer to be employees? because there's more of a guarantee of a set income per work hour. Dailies are a salaried job.<br /><br />most people could care less about their impact on overall market. they just want to afford to satisfy their needs. Blizzard developers are not stupid and I'm sure they took this mentality into consideration when adding dailies to the game.<br /><br />the opposite side of that coin though is that those who chose the risk of entrepreneurship? make a great deal more profit and can afford a lot more then those who chose an hourly wage.Leahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00922945261685139416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-81555058293727576032010-04-05T15:30:46.912-05:002010-04-05T15:30:46.912-05:00Sure, but 1) professions are boring and 2) it'...Sure, but 1) professions are boring and 2) it's not the only way that players get gold without adding anything of value to the market. Players also get gold simply by killing mobs or bosses. <br /><br />And similarly there are 'gold dumps' that you kind of ignore, for no discernable reason. 100g of repairs is already halving what you get from a ton of dailies in one day.Iapeteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17093402423461845675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-52000221760983149412010-04-05T11:36:15.010-05:002010-04-05T11:36:15.010-05:00@Gevlon: Is it actually obvious?

People aren't usually in the mindset of thinking about macroeconomic issues like inflation and whether there is a large enough supply of materials to buy.<br /><br />@Mycroft: If you're doing what you enjoy, then in a way everything is 'free', since the only worthwhile profit in a game is fun.Klepsacovichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07915576683657376929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-9479065293925416302010-04-05T10:40:11.281-05:002010-04-05T10:40:11.281-05:00I only do the dailies I enjoy, when I feel like do...I only do the dailies I enjoy, when I feel like doing them. Having such a large selection of them in WoW means that I can choose to spend time on what I enjoy and avoid some of the more unpleasant aspects of the game ... I ended up finishing off my Sons of Hodir rep with Relics of Ulduar purchased off the AH. :)<br /><br />And, with their shoulder enchants now being Bind on Account, folks no longer need to grind rep with their Relics of Ulduar for alts, so those who buy the excess Relics off the AH are helping their fellow players at the same time! ;)Mycroftnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-57322564143424581752010-04-05T10:38:51.092-05:002010-04-05T10:38:51.092-05:00On the one hand it's obvious.
