By the time the summer is rolling to an end, we will all be soooooo ready for all the damn kids and their undercutting AH camping ways to get back to school so we can get more profit out of our auctions with less babysitting.<br /><br />It's the same thing every year.<br /><br />Looking at your less raiding philosophy, less raiders means more non-raiding activities (farming, leveling alts - smart players grab gathering professions while leveling).ssmith0911@Live.comhttp://coldsgoldfactory.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5047964376363882750.post-61749216264836642622011-06-08T15:23:30.121-05:002011-06-08T15:23:30.121-05:00@ Cold: an excellent point.

However, in my (non-AH) playing, I was under the impression that less raiding tends to happen over the summer as more people tend to get out more, vacation, etc. Doesn't that mean less higher-end players are on, less mat farming, etc? This is my third WoW summer, my first being when I actually started, so all I really have to go by is one year and my guild leader griping abt how much he hates the lack of logins over the summer, lol. Regardless, excellent point, and it means a good time to eyeball low and mid level mats.<br /><br />@Kammler: But some of those teens *will* have higher level raiding toons, which means *some* of the influx will be high end.scottiegazellenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5047964376363882750.post-14480115917667831172011-05-30T18:04:07.992-05:002011-05-30T18:04:07.992-05:00All good points made and stock piling is always a ...All good points made and stock piling is always a gamble. Sometimes the odds are a little greater on your return but a gamble none the less. However I have 500k and like to gamble lol so either way its fun for me. If I lose than I have some gold to make back and if I win than I have more gold to give away on my server... In the big scheme of things if your a vet. gold maker than you know how to make gold, its not about how much you have its about knowing how to make it. Gambling is not a sure fire way but it is fun.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5047964376363882750.post-44477858362246939232011-05-26T17:16:06.281-05:002011-05-26T17:16:06.281-05:00Good point, Cold.

I have already been stocking up, but I don't ever do any of it without some sort of a plan. Part of my plan includes having a profitable thing to do with the materials now AND later.<br /><br />If you have a plan, and an item is listed below your threshold, buy it. It doesn't matter when kids are out of school.<br /><br />If you're stocking up, just for the sake of stocking up (i.e. 4.2), then perhaps caution is still best at this point.<br /><br />Any one have good educational guesses on when 4.2 will be released?Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13023024842593901746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5047964376363882750.post-905051724723955092011-05-26T12:30:16.642-05:002011-05-26T12:30:16.642-05:00You make a valid point Cold. Cautionary warnings w...You make a valid point Cold. Cautionary warnings will hopefully prevent some folks without a plan from blindly buying.<br /><br />The influx of new players for the summer doesn't necessarily mean more high end materials--many of these players will not have toons high enough to penetrate the new zones. Sure, some will but many will be low to mid level, maybe not even played since last summer or the Xmas break. That may affect prices for mid level mats more than high end mats.<br /><br />The BoE Epics take 40 Vols apiece. The blues all take about the same number as today's do but there is more to do with Vol Earth. This alone means the Vols will continue with the same demand or greater. <br /><br />I think buying these at a level that would ensure a profit now makes sense--worst case, sell after 4.2 and make the same margin as today. Best case? Double or more.<br /><br />I hadn't really considered the summer influx of players. I'm glad you reminded me to be on the lookout.Kammlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14052373093776001210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5047964376363882750.post-49505522900145757552011-05-26T11:26:44.154-05:002011-05-26T11:26:44.154-05:00So hard for me to post something useful here and n...So hard for me to post something useful here and not make a snide remark about how only the Alliance side economy will benefit from schools letting out. Out wait, did I just make that snide remark anyway? xD.<br /><br />Well played, and I agree. Look for the influx, the only people who can compete with bots and professional farmers are kids who have their summer days all to their selves. Depending on launch time, if it's during the summer, you'll see an initial price jump in raw materials, but it will quickly get eaten up by people with available time to go out and gather.Weshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11818128364747966612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5047964376363882750.post-17053453570312266932011-05-26T10:32:20.676-05:002011-05-26T10:32:20.676-05:00I have a price threshold I am buying things to sto...I have a price threshold I am buying things to stokpile at. If it goes below that price I buy. Doesn't matter to me if it is late May or mid June. If I get to buy MORE under my threshold because of the summer school cycle, well, bully for me.Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05535045643952266975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5047964376363882750.post-70987850843413088412011-05-26T09:14:38.598-05:002011-05-26T09:14:38.598-05:00Hmmm Cold you make a good point.

By the same token, we don't know when Patch 4.2 will happen.<br />Some Midwestern kids get out of school in May, but kids here in the Northeast get out of school at the end of June.<br />At least one kid in school who begs gold from me has learned how to make a profit on Heavy Savage Leather. I told him to go skin the crocodiles and spiders in Tol Barad and sell leather on the auction house. Never mind that I'm his biggest buyer on one of my alts.<br /><br />I traded 10 heavy savage leather in for a pristine hide, but so did he and posted his<br />for alot less than mine. (He sells 1 heavy savage leather for 35 gold, but sells 1 pristine hide for 250 gold.) <br /><br />He is 12 years old. I doubt if he is aggressively controlling his market.<br />And he does cry baby to me that I have more gold than he does and I should share with him.Saffroniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00755584801221664926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5047964376363882750.post-78774215261076416722011-05-26T05:47:43.076-05:002011-05-26T05:47:43.076-05:00quite valid however different regions have differe...quite valid however different regions have different holiday times for the summer. id be surprised if 4.2 wasn't out before the end of June.Trimblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07883507354941390975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5047964376363882750.post-8389934777029049262011-05-26T04:12:50.611-05:002011-05-26T04:12:50.611-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.iiimjiiimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03057369867933781407noreply@blogger.com
