Is it just me?

Or is gold farming slowly becoming obsolete? I've been having tremendous success with my two bots in the past couple months, but over the past two weeks, the economy on both my servers has literally crashed. Frost lotus that went for 60g each is now 9g each, and on top of that, it seems that the chinese resellers are lowering their prices everyday.

I recently invested in another bot, and Im a bit worried. Is anyone else feeling this anxiety or am I making something out of nothing?

xpack will launch this year. it always happens. and the fact gold is so easy to earn now there are not as many buyers.

You can now exchange a frozen orb for a frost lotus, so price of frost lotus is decreasing, whereas price of frozen orb is increasing !

Yeah I figured xpac would bring the prices down but it such a ways away . Hopefully prices will shoot back up come catacylsm

Try farming lower level mats, there has always been a big opening in the market and these can fetch alot more than most top end mats, IE Titanium per stack is 30g on my server, where as mith and thor are 50g+ per stack, same goes with alot of the lower level herbs.

Oh really? Hmm ill have to check out my servers prices. Thank you.

The only problem with lower level mats, is using a ground mount. Which leaves you open to player reports when someone questing notices a level 80 running around for 8+ hours in a lower level zone farming herbs, etc.. Be careful not to over do it, my advice would be to change zone/profile every few hours.
