I'm fairly low on interest myself, back in ironman challenge mode lately, which is generally what I do at the end of an expansion in the long content drought waiting for the next one. >I have tokens bought but have let subscription lapse. >Bought some at start for 27K, then more at around 18k on 3-4rd may. >https://wowtoken.info/ >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. Lucky, it's 40k+ over here, and that takes me a week or two to get, I've not bothered buying any yet as I'm saving up for the ZG tiger, should it ever appear on our black market. >I had 6 lvl 100 and mostly just did garrison and restocking for >garrison.

I miss timeless isle when you could just grind all day and pray >to the rng gods:-) LFR is fine for people's behaviour, at least on European servers, so are Rukhmar groups. I'm up to 665 ilvl now, hit a bit of a wall due to not having any real upgrades left to aim for, I guess I really need to force myself to do the 5-mans needed for the legendary ring chain, sigh - I've no problem at all with grinding LFR for the chain but I have to get past those damn heroic 5-mans first, and I've had enough bad 5-man experiences in the past to really not want to do them :-/ >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.

Yeah I noticed a number of my glyph competitors appear to have vanished, and herb/ore prices have gone up significantly, reckon a few of the more active types maybe got hit. Or more people got bored and quit. > 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. I buy tons of pre-WoD herbs, because if they're cheaper than the WoD equivalent, they're more profitable for my scribe - cheaper ink for my glyphs, and can craft lower lvl cards from the leftovers, which do sell still (slightly surprising at times). I actually far prefer buying older herbs if I can, as it's annoying having to trek over to the ink vendor and actually have the ink to trade in my bags instead of inevitably sitting in the bank and needing a few journeys to get all I want lol. Luckily most are relatively cheap on my server, it's only the Cataclysm herbs which are crazy high prices compared with WoD ones, rest are generally cheaper or about the same.
