SamadanTSMYouTubeTwitchhere on wowhead.comThe Ethics of Baitingu/Tim_tank_003Got my Bruto Mount!! Most unethical way ever!
So...most of you are going to think I'm an ***** for doing this but hey..not my fault people can't use their eyes..

I started making my first million gold with Alchemy and Silas procs etc and made a decent amount, but as you know as the expansion draws closer to an end..so does the profits slow.

I did this by mistake actually, I posted an Tidespray Linen at 99s instead of 2g99s...don't ask how i did it but i did lol..so i went back like 10 minutes later to check and noticed that someone i guess didn't pay attention and posted 10k TS Linen at 98s to undercut me. I immediately bought out all of that and easily almost tripled my gold that I just spent on it..I felt guilty but hey free 29k is free 29k.
So, that's how it started for me to post at like 20% price and have people not "pay attention" and post under my already extremely undercut prices so I can snatch up their stuff and make a killing.

To date, my biggest score was Anchor Weed, sells for 60g on my realm, I put 1 up for 15g and someone posted 4500 at 14g99s giving me a profit of roughly 250k after AH cuts. My main markets doing this are potions/flasks and food on raid days (tues/thurs/fri/sat) which people just spam undercut eachother and don't really pay attention and I can swoop in and make a quick 200k per night in like 20 minutes of doing this.

Sure i'll lose a bit if someone catches me doing this but it's more than worth it when you get that score.

Sorry to anyone I've caused losses to :(

I have such mixed emotions about your post.

A little while after 8.3 came, I had farmed up all the mats and crafted a whole lot of K'babs, which were selling really well and at a high price. I had just recently gotten started with proper goldmaking and had not learned how to set up my TSM fully, just super enjoying the quick posting and everything, you know. So, I happily posted all my cooked and crafted items, not paying much attention to any item in particular - and man, the surprise I had when I checked my mail later. I had fallen for a trick like yours, and someone bought all my K'babs for 49s each. Still makes me feel so bad to think about the huge loss and time wasted.

The thing is though, I blame myself, because I should have paid attention. Now, whenever I notice this kind of shenanigans, I just buy the one troll item, hoping to save someone else from falling for the trap. I honestly think it's a sneaky and weird thing to do, and though I understand the motivation of quick money I don't think I would feel right about doing it. But people are different, and I guess some would find the same satisfaction from that behaviour that I find in my regular goldmaking.

Your tactics may be strange to me, but at the same time I respect your effort and planning, and wish you well with your new longboi companion :)

So, using the Brutosaur calculator, and going for the default date of "1 October". I see that I have to gather just short of 40k each day up until 1 October.

So far I've been farming mats, and I've tried out the "super tidespray linen bracer shuffle".

Any form of gathering gold so far has not even come close to reaching 40k/day.

I'm currently sitting around 8k profit per day (4hrs of play). With these numbers, I should just be doing WQ's and it would go even faster...

So, I'm making this post to help some other people that are only now jumping to the idea that they want to start farming the gold and haven't had the realisation that 5 million gold is not just a big number, it's a ridiculous number.

But also trying to share what I've learned:

Seems like there are only 3 ways to reach this gold if you are starting out on nearly nothing.

Farm it
Make profit flipping things
Buy tokens

A combination of these 3 things is most likely how you're getting there.

Remember that farming it will need you to reach the "x thousand gold per day" requirement.

So what's left if 4hrs a day isn't a realistic option for you?

Buying tokens, which isn't really a way to "make gold" it's just bypassing everything and failing.

Flipping on the AH is where you're going to be untethered by a max amount of gold per hour.

Like I said, I'm only new myself and I made this post to help other new people save some time researching and building up to a farming method only to THEN realize that they have to commit to that farm for 2-6 hours EACH DAY for 3+ months.

I'd say, get yourself some money farming gold, and turn towards flipping large amounts or you will not make 5 million gold without buying tokens unless you're willing to nolife it.

Please someone tell me I'm wrong and there's a better way? Because flipping is not a guaranteed success.
u/OverKast78 on setting a different goal instead
I’m sitting at 1 mil and don’t have the time or the knack for making gold, however I’m still setting reachable goals first.

If you’re in the same boat, first aim for enough to purchase the expansion.

Then enough for 6 months sub.

After that alts with some spending money for leveling up professions.

Or whichever goal u want, just don’t burn out going after the bruto and not enjoying the game anymore.
