20 Days of Gold Making – Day 2
Thanks to Nev
of Auction House Addict for coming up with this idea.
If you set yourself
a goal, what was your goal & at what point did you set it?
I began my gold making journey at the end of the Burning Crusade
expansion. At that time I did not set any type of goal. In Wrath my
goal was to hit gold cap but I was never able to reach it. At the
beginning of Cata I again tried to hit gold cap at one million. I was
finally able to reach my goal and did hit gold cap on April 15th
2012.
As I noted in this
post that I did after reaching gold cap I was a little
disappointed. My plan was to quit playing the auction house once I
hit cap. However the force of habit would not let me stop. Playing
the auction house has become an important part of the game for me. I
no longer wish to stop because, lets be honest, its fun!
Being able to buy whatever you want whenever you want is a liberating
feeling. Being the envy of all your friends and guildmates is fun.
Even engaging in wars with your competitors on the AH is fun. All of
this has become an important part of the game for me. Just as much as
raiding, dungeons, and yes, even pet battles.
I no longer have a goal set for my gold making. I now have enough
gold to do whatever I want. I have all the new toys. I enjoy all the
freedom that being rich in-game provides. At this point the gold is
just a number used to keep score. Its no longer about reaching a
goal. Its about the journey. I started this journey to make gold but
ended up having fun. I have no plan to stop anytime soon. Its too
fun. And after all, isn’t that why we play the game? Its about the
fun!
