World of Warcraft

You mean the gear that only takes 10-12 Ghost Iron bars, which in turn only take 20-24 Ghost Iron Ore, which in turn only takes 4-5 nodes and 20 min to gather?

Yea bro make that profit.

Buy the 20g armor at less than material cost, resell, profit. :)

Or sell mats rather than crafts.

That would make too much sense.

Seriously, on some servers it's just best to go that route. I hear stories how jewelcrafters of other servers buy uncut and cut and resell. On my server sadly that is not always possible as half of the times the uncut gem is more expensive on the AH.

This kind of guy thinks that things you farm are "Free".

Quick economics lesson, for those who don't get this.

Let's say you farm up a stack of Ghost Iron while you're doing your dailies. You didn't pay any gold for this, so you might think of it as "free."

It's not.

When you make it into something-- bracers, prospect it for gems, throw it in the guild bank-- you lose the opportunity to sell that ore on the auction house. This is called opportunity cost. The cost of making bracers is the opportunity to sell that stack of ore for 150g. If you can make four bracers that each sell for 50g, you've profited. If the bracers are only 25g, you're actually out 50g (even though your gold balance just went up by 100g.)

This is, in fact, why a lot of AH players don't farm materials. If you make more gold in an hour of prospecting and cutting gems, or smelting ore and turning it into armor, or buying underpriced items to repost at a higher price, or whatever you do than the auction house value of all the ore you can gather in an hour of mining, you will make more gold per hour invested by buying the ore instead of farming it, even though you don't have to spend gold on the mining part.

People like me who bot don't really care what we sell for as it took pretty much no effort. I just undercut a ton so I don't have to bother posting the same thing on the AH 15 times. Afk farming all profit for me. Feel bad for you manually farming lol.
