Some you pay to rent extra bank space, a LOT more than wow but still $rented, that goes. Yes, two+ years and the WoW mains, alts and lvl 1 bankers and their guild banks were still there. Some things were not quite as I remembered, some things had changed into other things of similar class or greys,every item that could take damage was damaged and needed to be repaired before sale. There is an item squish coming so that will probably happen again. Most of the stuff was out of date and near worthless. Saronite swordbreakers 1500g at time of leaving, vendor a line of them. tabs full of 200g-500g wotlk gemstone stacks and cut gems, vendor. If you have any AH banking probably best to convert to gold, but even that will go through inflation. The paid boosts with professions are already starting to kill the alt levelup goods, profs, gear etc anyway. The new expansion will probably have yet another layer of rare and exotic mats so what else are you going to hang on to? If you don't have professions maxed maybe try and get them up now -if- mat prices are low on your server. Who knows what they will be next year.
