[Warcraft] Gold Making – Week 46 (2025)

Well, I’m making another gold making post so that must mean that my ban was overturned. It was, but I was never given any explanation on why it happened to begin with, or even told if it was a false flagging. Instead it was a comment of “we have investigated, and decided to overturn the ban”. OK then. While I am incredibly grateful and happy to have my account back, it was also a very stressful week and some insight on how I can avoid this would have been nice (I realize this isn’t realistic, as they don’t want real RMT players bypassing rules, but for my own peace of mind it would have been nice).

Anyway. Back to gold making. This week was pretty nice, with just over 5 million made for the week. I had a couple of big ticket items sell, and I also started posting on 20 servers instead of 10. Remix has been slowing down and now it’s the anniversary of World of Warcraft and players are stumbling back into the light of retail.

Most of my sales this week came from patterns, although there were a few transmog hidden in there too. I did not see many / any pet sales, which is a bit unusual. I think there has been some confusion as to the future of battle pets and that might be slowing sales down a little bit, too.

In any case, it’s good to be making gold again. I hope everyone has a fantastic week, and I’ll see you in game. As always, happy gaming no matter where you find yourself!

[Warcraft] Gold Making – Week 45 (2025 Final post?)

For those who don’t know, earlier this week my account was banned for suspected RMT – now I can argue until I’m blue in the face that I have never participated in RMT before, but none of that matters unless an actual human person over at Blizzard takes a look at my case instead of their absolutely horrible AI system.

I do make a lot of gold. I do tend to gift a lot of expansions/game time/shop items to what might appear to be random people (and in some cases, are random people). I like to help people I see in need. I recently donated 10 million gold anonymously to Bears_Adventures for a future giveaway she was going to hold. I don’t know exactly what triggered my ban (Blizzard does not provide those details) but it could have been anything from the above mentioned giveaways to an actual RMT participant purchasing one of my auctions (how on earth I’m supposed to infer who is buying what of mine off of the AH, I have no idea).

This whole ordeal has left a sour taste in my mouth. I’ve done nothing wrong, tried to help those who need it, and was meticulous about following Blizzard’s own rules. Somehow, their system still got me. I did appeal, but the first one was shot down with some nonsensical reply that had nothing to do with anything I had written (leaving little doubt in my mind as to who was responding). I have appealed a second time, and reached out to Blizzard’s community team to try to get human eyes on the case. It could also have been something as simple as me transferring my own funds around between my accounts, which I tend to do. I am HOPING that this will be something that can be easily disproven, but again, it requires human interaction.

In any case. As you can tell by the tradeskillmaster ledger above, this was not a good week for gold making. I’ve been too scared to log in, because I don’t want anything to happen to my main account. Instead, I’m laying low and waiting.

[Warcraft] Gold Making – Week 44 (2025)

Well, I missed out (again) on getting some posting done, this past week has just been too busy to be able to do all of the things. There were some smaller sales that went on, but nothing too drastic. I’m still selling at a reduced volume, by only posting across my 10 busiest servers instead of the 20 servers I would typically post to. Eventually when things pick up again or I’ve got more free time, I will post all of the places. For now, this feels like a nice compromise.

Recipes were the sales of the week, I have to organize and go through the pets I have listed because I think I’ve forgotten to add them to the mix. Ever since guild banks broke (they display just a cage, and not the specific pet) I’ve shuffled my stock around to the warbank trying to get a nice market flow. It’s important for me to be able to see WHAT pet I’m potentially stocking up on since I use TSM, and Blizzard’s method of just having ‘pet cage’ in the guild bank is fairly useless. It has been broken for some time, so I’m not really expecting anything to change.

Hopefully everyone else is doing well, and the gold is flowing! I’ve seen a few more friends trickle back into retail vs. remix, and with 76 days left to go I imagine a lot of us are just waiting for phase 4.

Happy gaming, no matter where you find yourself!

[Warcraft] Running after the Legion Remix Dopamine

I have never been a min/max player, instead I tend to wander around doing whatever it is I feel like doing that day. It’s not conductive to productivity – but Legion Remix has changed that, at least temporarily. In Legion Remix, it’s all about focusing on one character so that you can gain the most infinite power, and thus do bigger and bigger things (such as soloing mythic+).

Right now I’ve been attempting to focus on my demon hunter – but it’s not exactly FUN. It IS a rush. You rush through doing all of the heroic + mythic raids for the day, rush through doing a normal and heroic dungeon, maybe even rush through a mythic or two. Then you rush through your world quests, your world boss, and complete your research for the day too, and if there’s time left over you pop over to retail to do the headless horseman instance in the hopes of getting the new mount that was added (no luck as of the time of this post).

Then you log out, satisfied, because all of those little rushes keep you going while you’re playing – even if you haven’t actually DONE much. Plus, it’s temporary. In January when Remix is over we’ll all go back to the regular grind that doesn’t involve us being overpowered and awesome.

I’m enjoying myself, but I am also trying to be realistic. I KNOW it’s because of the rush. I know it’s just dopamine hit after dopamine hit. What I REALLY want, is player housing. I want things to be slower. I want a story. Right now, there is none of that going on. That’s OK. For now. I hope that it changes once remix is over.

As always, happy gaming, no matter where you find yourself!

[Warcraft] Gold Making – Week 42 (2025)

Sales have started picking back up again after the Legion Remix rush, which is nice. Not as much as it was prior to Remix, but that’s OK. I imagine things will ebb and flow as the community wanders to and from depending on what they’re doing. The Halloween event has also started in game, so people are wandering back to regular retail for that. Since I am also playing on legion remix these days I’ve streamlined my sales slightly, so instead of selling on 20 servers (taking 1.5h to post each morning) I’m temporarily selling on only 10 servers, my 10 ‘best selling’ servers as it were (according to my ledger in tradeskillmaster). Sales on some of my servers have been incredibly low, and if I put those items up on my more populated servers instead I’m sure I can get them to move faster. This should cut down the time I’m spending in the morning posting auctions which is the main goal.

Ideally I’d just post across 2 accounts again since you can post auctions to two accounts at once using hotkeys, but I’ve been really happy with all of my auction house characters on a single account, it’s easier to take breaks and not burn out. Hopefully sales continue to rise, and in the mean time there’s certainly no lack of things to do in game!

Happy gaming, no matter where you find yourself.
