Anyone interested in wealth accumulation within World of Warcraft?

Because I'm on Silvermoon and teasing people is fun :)

Bit of an update. I started a thread on a legitimate gold making forum community to see if the wow players in there could be the 1% of the population who own the majority of the wealth (same as the current OccupyWallStreet protests etc).

I then started a poll in a different thread to try and get a rough estimate of how much gold is circulating within the forums.

After only a few hours we have 55 votes and a total of 76,950,000 gold. (that's 76.95 million gold).
The forum itself has 3,063 members, of which 690 are considered active by the forum system. So only about 8% of the active members have voted so far and that's already 76 million gold.

Crazy right?

Would it be possible to farm gold with a free account only?

No, because free trial accounts do not have access to the Auction House or the ability to trade / mail items and gold with other players. You would be limited to killing mobs, and selling what ever you got to a vendor, an extremely inefficient method due to the design of the economy. Blizzard doesn't want vendoring items to be even a remote possibility, and would rather have item drops interacting within the economy.

Also, the max amount of gold you can gather with a free account is 10G.

Some people love the PvP, some love the endless hours or accomplishing raids, others enjoy collecting achievements, mounts or pets. I for one spend my time making gold.

World of Warcraft has a fascinating economy, that can be manipulated and played with for endless hours at a time.

I have not however, bumped into any other South Africans who have a similar such passion (although there is a very large such global interest).

I'm am 30, 000 gold away from being gold capped (which is 1 million gold minus 1 copper currently).

I always save to about 30k gold then spend some of it then save to that again

Hey Sinshroud, I'm on Silvermoon too. Please help a brother out with some $$$

Just cancelled my wow account...not getting time to play anymore with all the other new games. Actually a good feeling to play something else for a change...

Got 78k gold...hehehe hope i get interest when I start playing again :P

FYI - If you buy a WoW Annual Pass, which you can pay monthly, you get Diablo 3 free. And some other tit-bits.

Wondering if any of the SA wow community is able to raid 25man on European servers. If so please post ur ISP, line speed ect here. Just interested to know as I used to raid 25man in Wrath. But I can't in Cata
