Getting Started

Well I started playing a Hunter in World of Warcraft with skinning and leatherworking as my profs based on the sound advice of a good friend and master Hunter. As I progressed over the years of playing, my playing changed from mostly pvp to raiding in "Vanilla" WoW and early TBC then back to pvp. Having matching gathering and manufacturing professions worked really well for me as I learned the game. I tended to continue that trend until recently.

I always enjoy the unpredictability of fighting a live opponent where their next move isn't necessarily choreographed. This is probably why I enjoy the "pvp" of playing the Auction House. With changes in my life (I work a "real job", have 2 kids, go to grad school, etc.) my playing time has dwindled down to an usually hour to three hours a day (if I'm really lucky.) This has worked out great with the random dungeon finder, and random battlegrounds tools. But I still found that I had a hard time making the jump from having some money to having a big fat WoW wallet. Then i found the "Call to Auction" podcast and the "Just My Two Copper" Blog by one of the hosts, Markco. This really peaked my interest at just how much gold could be made out there and how quickly you could do it. I only follow the rules /TOS, I've never purchased gold. I really want to do legitimate business. I find the WoW Sales economy to be an evolving market with many dynamics. I think he fun is in finding and discovering new and exciting ways to earn gold. So based on what I'd learned from other sites and blogs, I figured I'd share some of my thoughts with you. Enjoy!
