    i recently came into a shitload of gold(by my standards) because a good friend quit. the only problem is that i don't want to spend it... not only that but he gave me 859(like 30 stacks) of icethorn, lichbloom, and a few stacks of frost lotus. first of all, how do i sell this? do i make flasks with it or sell the mats separately?

    my complaint is that even though buying a motorcycle only puts a mere scratch in the amount of gold i have now, i don't want to buy it. it's ridiculous.

    You do realize gold means nothing unless you spend it. What's the point of having a lot of gold if you do nothing with it.

    Hi all, new complainer here. Coming from BG, I am used to having some relatively limitless limits limiting me in posts. I recently tried to make a post regarding a player and his uncouth actions during a raid(changing loot rules at the end of a raid regarding ICC BOE). The post has been deleted twice and I cannot for the life of me see why it would be deleted. I have run through the code of conduct thoroughly and I cannot find any issue with what ive written that would make it offensive or in need of blizzards shield. There are also several similar type threads on the same realm forum because of the nature of our server. Could anyone please take a look at this here deal and see what may have been cause for its deletion?

    Reposting because it disapeared, a second time.

    In an ICC 25 pug run on sunday night by Glyphzilla and Torring of Tsunamii, some shady dealings were afoot. The run ended up 6/12 and in that time obtained 2 boe items, the rifle and carapace. I asked the leader what would be done with those, he said they were end loot and would be rolled for at the end. NP, all is well. When the run was ending someone in the raid asked about the saronites and boes. The saronites were rolled off in open rolls, and as everyone else expected and was told, the boes would be as well. This was not the case. The leader proceeded to charge a price for the boes (albeit a much lower price than the ah, 500 for rifle and i believe 1k for the carapace). This was completely uncalled for, because everyone in that raid was led to believe the items would be rolled for openly. Had the leader said, "Hey guys, we will charge a small portion of the items value to roll on it at the end to help cover guild repairs, meds, the mental anguish of having to deal with you", then there would be no issue. But to say one thing then do another with end loot is absurd. I think that is a great way to handle boes for a partial guild run, but be up front about it. To throw that in at the end against what was said in the beginning is rude and does not represent that guild well. Thank you for your time, enjoy another thread about loot.

    Edit: Originally posted with the incorrect player name in the title. Torring was the leader selling loot at the end, not glyphzilla, and I retract his name after speaking with him just a few minutes ago. In speaking with him, it seems that actions are apparently underway regarding torrings dealings. Thanks for taking the time to speak with me Glyph

    tl;dr
    Blizzard doesn't agree that ninja looting even exists due to how they have the loot system setup. If you nominate someone as master looter, than whatever he says during a raid goes regardless as long as he is not scamming people. Their definition of scamming only seems to apply to GDKP runs, and having someone run away with the entire pool... and opening a trade window promising to enchant someones weapon, and then taking the weapon or gold and logging off.

    Blizzard doesn't care, they wont look into it, they most likely delete these posts and tickets 3000 times a day and just don't deal with it. If you got ninja'd, according to blizzard, then only run raids with people you trust.

    You're not allowed to post negative things about other players on the forums. You make a ticket, the GMs handle it, you're not allowed to be a vigilante.

    Those bastards. Ill have to sell that cape and the leotard with the big V on it. It just confuses me that I have made two threads similar to this in the past, and there are several others with far more destructive language than mine on that same page. Idk, maybe the guild is out reporting my posts as soon as they pop. That's all speculation. Honestly though, as long as I can make the threads, i'll call people out on bullshit like this. One of my major problems with wow is how anonymous it is and im not a fan of seeing people get fucked over so regularly just because someone can. If I make a post in a public forum, it forces the leadership to do something( or at least look like they did something). I guess I need a theme song now for my lame crusade against douchebaggery in wow.

    Check market, but probably better to sell the herbs in stacks. Or at least faster unless you want to compete in the flask market.

    Also you could buy a battered hilt or gear alts. Or just keep the gold there.

    i bought pillars of might and leggings of woven death and i still have enough for a mechano hog and some change. warrior is using a 232 axe, but i'd rather not buy a battered hilt. probably going to get the mechano hog even though i have a big blizzard bear.

    Depends on the server. Check how much stacks of titanium go for compared to lichbloom/frost lotus/icethorn and eternal lifes. My server the 2 herb stacks go for like 12-18g a stack, lotus is only 30 and lifes are 20. Titanium goes for 300-500g a stack. So I head to Wintergrasp and get about 4 stacks easy in an hour if i'm lucky.

    Wow, that's a ton of money for a stack of titanium. Gems must be crazy expensive on your server.

    I always liked mining/skinning while leveling (skinning is basically free money since you're killing stuff anyway) and mining/jewelcrafting when 80. Prospecting your own ore is usually great cash if there's a market for the gems. Titanium powder usually sells really well too.

    Jewelcrafting was insanely cheap for me to level recently because me and my sister both leveled alts with mining and tossed all the ore in a bank when we were done. The only expensive part was when I was close to 450 and needed metas so I was paying alot for AH shit.

    Try to get people to do a mimiron's head run for you for gold.

    icethorn/dreadweetle(or whatever) is 13-19 a stack, lotus is about 18-19 gold per 1, lichbloom is 44-50 a stack. titanium is 200-300 a stack. i farmed today on my mage that has herb for about 2 hours and got 9 stacks of lichbloom, about 7 stacks of icethorn, and about 9 frost lotus. during that time i fixed my gatherer addon and picked up the gatherer DB, so give or take 20-30 minutes of down time. if everything i put up sells i made 500-600g in about an hour and a half to 2 hours.

    I always found gold was best used to buy BoE items. Even if you have all of them for this content level, you can save for the next. Some can get decently expensive, I remember paying 10k for the Tanking Ring of Anub when that encounter was only a few weeks old. Or you can use it to get people to give you raid items, like if DBW or DFO drop and you lose the roll, throw 20k gold at them and see what they say.

    We have a guy on my server who buys all the leveling greens/blues on the AH he can then relists them on his main/alts for 2-30g price hikes. He'll take the good greens for lvling, the ones that are pure good stats and dont have spirit, and buy them at 5g and resell them at 50g. Some people will actually pay that just to make their leveling a little easier.

    Currently I believe he's maxed out on the gold limit on 2 characters. He holds random contests on the server, like lvl 1 gnome races from X to Y and rewards the winner with 5k gold prizes, and 2nd and 3rd place with 3-2k prizes.
