Well, I am out again probably for a while.
At least for a few months, can't say forever ever but right now not much 
interest.

I have tokens bought but have let subscription lapse.
Bought some at start for 27K, then more at around 18k on 3-4rd may.

NA realms, oceanic seems to still run as NA
It looks like there was a bit of adjustment in the pricing algorithm on 
9th and a greater one on the 14th May.
Either price is dirt cheap, not even 2 days gold.

I had 6 lvl 100 and mostly just did garrison and restocking for 
garrison. The characters were ilvl 645 and hadn't run any Wod dungeon. 
None, I hate instances now and that is probably why interest waned even 
further. They all hit walls that required instances to get beyond. Nope 
not going there. Too many bad tempered workers in there, workers not 
players. I miss timeless isle when you could just grind all day and pray 
to the rng gods:-)

40-ish followers on each , many at ilvl 675  and can generally run 645 
and 660 at 100% when they pop unless it is a particularly bad 
distribution of counters. Quite a few pieces of upgraded and follower 
drop 660+ gear on the chars but no real need apart from making farming 
easier.

With 25 followers and 21 possibilities chances of an uncovered double 
counter are high but a little bit of extra power usually tips it over 
100%.
The last week I can't even be bothered logging in to collect 6-10k in 
follower tasks.
For the past 2 weeks I haven't done much more than look at wowhead for 
the daily Harrison.
  5 are waiting for one quest .
I had them on all 6 in the morning and I was helping friends until about 
8        2 Fridays ago.
Maintenance from 7:30-11:30 on a Friday night , after maintenance took 
the usual Tuesday night out as well.
   So I got one done after midnight , meh, it will be along soon.
It hasn't popped since , 19 %%$%^$^ days.

I know it is 3% RNG chance and all and it is my choice it is a block but 
it typifies the potential unbalance and time gate. Although there is 
heaps to do I tend to do much the same thing on each alt and explore 
around the task with each rather than try to do everything possible.
I don't even need Harrison, it just would have been a bit of use...way 
back when I started on it.

Besides the daily garrison welfare gold I do AH a lot.
Since the bot ban AH dropped from typically 65k to 40k items and a few 
of the most active sellers disappeared. They always seemed to have good 
supplies and there wasn't much to do but snipe away between their 
submissions.
I pretty much dominate some segments now. Rivers of gold, except I can't 
really be bothered. It is pretty much like fishing with grenades right 
now. Funny how the sniping was much more fun.
I don't even gouge much, I am happy to sell at the same old prices, just 
the upper end :-) With buy-low sell-high I ended up with more and more 
in stock , filling up those 20 or so redundant bank tabs with e.g 2 
thousand borean leather someone put up at 10% above vendor, day after 
day. Now seem to be the only one posting my few dozen main lines and 
filling in gaps for people pleading on trade. They seem surprised to get 
only a mild gouging.
I do offer to return say 20 stacks for 1-stack price, but I figure 
slightly above, or sometimes below, is their lookout.
There really isn't any risk apart from it just won't sell , ever, and I 
can still get 90% back from vendor.

  I don't even know why people buy all the pre-WOD stuff, just that they 
do and the bots provided plenty of low-priced to stockpile.
