Is gold worth selling anymore at 25c per k? What can one account generate per month?

I was hoping for prices to maybe go up a little from the 50c they were at in MoP, but unfortunately I was 100% wrong, literally.

My main detailed question is: How much gold can you make per hour now in WoD? I'd like to know from a number of people. Doing the math, I guess it's still quite profitable at 2k an hour, running at 16-20 hours per day, which is about $250-300 per month for just one account. 2k is still relatively easy to generate, right? I seem to remember pre-WoD mats making close to that for me alone (if you know what to go for.) Even 1.4k per hour is netting around $200. I guess I'm sort of answering my own questions here, lol, but I'd like to see some opinions from people who are just sorta small-timing their gold selling business and netting around $500-1500 a month with 3 or so accounts. I was running 2 accounts for a little bit and not taking it very seriously about a year ago and managed a cool $500 a month for a few months quite easily. I'd like to get back into it, definitely, but if it's a headache selling that cheap, I'm not sure. What could the average person net selling to private buyers?

Thanks for your feedback!! :cool::D

I was running 28 accounts and all were banned at same time. Sucked because I had just started gold farming with about half of them and had already been selling gold with the other half, but I made about $3,000 in the first couple months of WoD and just doing this as a hobby.

There is tons of different profiles, doing different goals. While you can farm dungeons for 1k gph, you can do it 24/7, since it makes pure gold.
With farming world BOEs you can get 2-5k gph, but you can have bad days, too much RNG etc. With low level mats you can get higher gph, but the demand is usually lower, and you need to stop/change profiles/mats etc - to adopt fast enough.
 
1) Banwave, Bossland openly acknowledging they still don't know what was the technical reason for it.

2) Pvp out in an effort to appease Blizzard.

3) WoD. Staying in your garrison gives 5k a day without doing anything else. 0 DEMAND.

4) Gold Prices. In a normal market , a banwave of suppliers this wide would increase the price of the product several times.Imagine if you take Venezuela and UAE out of the equation for Oil selling business; what would happen to the price?
Now,gold price did not increase noticeably at all, was quite unaffected. Because there is no demand.

5) Blizzard sells gold. 99% percent of people (yeah, I made up that number for understanding purposes) will buy from them because of the easiness, fanboyism and lack of any risk. The 1% which will buy from gold sellers, can't sustain dozens of gold selling companies plus the personal banks of the people leaving.

I could go on till 20, probably. But if these points, that I tried to express in a clear and objetive way as much as I could, do not help you understand profitting out of wow (gold selling wise) is gone for good now, nothing will.

Now, I have hope in the future. If they don't manage to kill wow, which is possible at this point (This a huge monster that cannot be sustained with 2 m suscribers; the amount of people working for it is huge, and investors do not like reductions in their share values) , I strongly believe they will jump the shark in the next expansion, returning back to professions and mats farming the cata-mop way. That will bring many people back, including botters. I sincerely can't see Blizzard keeping this failed system anymore tbh.
