Why I May Soon Quit WoW
I just had to get this off my chest, sorry for the negativity (and poor writing).

Fellow Goldmaker here (retired), so I'm sympathetic to the message, but Goldmakers profit off of PVP'ers on the AH, so it only makes sense that PVP'ers would get to "profit" off Goldmakers in the BG's. Goldmaking is a niche playstlye, hard to believe Blizzard will balance for it.

Sorry but I could not disagree more. We don't simply profit of PVPers (or any other player) we provide a service. While PVPers are off killing each other, we are studying the markets, figuring out what they need, what they want and how much they are willing to pay for it.

Get that 100%. My point is that "Goldmaking" just isn't a bullet point under "content" in the game, and it's so niche that it's hard to expect Blizzard to support it when it's struggling to support it's officially recognized, sanctioned, and "official" content.

And if you'll notice, Blizzard is pretty much forcing cross pollination between player "silos" (PVE/PVP/Pet Battles/WQ's/Transmog Farmers), and goldmakers get caught in the crossfire.

This is kind of the problem tho, Blizz should not be dictating what is and isn't "official/sanctioned" gameplay. Goldmakers have existed since classic (just ask
@thegoldqueen ) and are not as niche as you night think (just ask@GumdropsEU ).3 replies 2 retweets 5 likes -

This issue is not so much a lack of support but a lack of consideration by forcing us to do to other types of content we don't enjoy in order to do the content that we do enjoy.

And yes, that "cross pollination" exists but it is largely optional and done for a competative advantage, while these recipe ranks tend to be more of a requirement to be profitable at all.

I did note it when I first saw PvP tokens required for crafting but was told to stop being a hysterical loser and to git gud at pvp. Because PvP is a blizzard sanctioned playstyle...
