That's not false though. Most people I know who are sitting on nearly 1million gold and above don't sell tokens or carries.
Every single non-crafter seem to be under the imprrssion that crafting this *!@# is pisscheap. They read about some cancelscanning neckbeard nolifer who made millions of gold on this, and think every crafter is making 4x materialcost in profits.The only crafters who make any gold at all on crafting, are those who can sit at the AH and cancelscan all day long, and $%^&ing over other crafters, and those who gamble and bought their materials late patch, and hope prices go up post-patch.Being a crafter in wow, is usually just a lesson in frustration.
I don't get people complaining about this change. It makes it easier now to craft your own legendary as well by collecting the stuff you can yourself. No on has to buy anything off the auction house to draft a legendary. Of course you have to farm mats like hell and use alts if you start out this late in the expansion. But except for the Orboreal Shards (and later thread für the tailoring upgrade item) anything is farmable and craftable. Another crafting alt helps you with special ingredients like Shadoghast ingots. If you have an inscriber, you don't even need to buy the missives for the actual item.Let's have a look at the inevitable cost: the Orboreal Shards. The ring (most expensive base item on my server, currently ~150k) for example needs 790 shards (15*(10+15+25)+40 in order to craft a single time. If you can buy them for 100g, that's 79k gold for your own legendary. But at this point, you can craft other rings and you only need 4k gold + effort.I give you that the effort involves 1500 Shadowghast Ingots as well as 750 Essences of Rebirth and Torment each to get to rank 4. But that's better than complaining and still not having a legendary item. Plus, having one slot ready can finance the rest of your slots so you don't have to farm as excessively as before.For the record: I am Inscriber/herbalist, my other toon is Alchemist/herbalist. I do not craft legendaries. I bought all of the base items off the auction house except the first at the very beginning of SL. No one in my guild actually crafts their own base items and no one has problems to get the gold. We do not have boosters among our ranks. As far as I know, none of our members sells WoW tokens for gold. We just play the game sell some profitable stuff on the auction house and thats it. Most of us do not spend money on consumables.TL;DR: this system might not be perfect, but it is not as bad as some people around here claim it to be. It just takes time if you don't have the money to spend.
How about please for the love of God increase the drop rate of GENESIS MOTES! PLEASE!
Awful crafting system, I've made a few legendaries and it always feels like jumping through unnecessary hoops; honestly the way they did it way back in Pandaria was my favorite, it was just an absolute massive time sink.
still to much expensive buy leggos, i earn max 20-30k a week, cause i just raid and m+ log, plus some zereth.... buy leggos at 150k.... consumable for 15k a week... what u play wow for? making gold? go make real money if so good!i just buyed 2 token for cover 2 291 leggo and rest of money for 4-6 months of game.
Have you been in touch with Blizzard? Seems like an issue with your account if you can't learn crafting professions
They should increase the amount of crafting XP you get instead, so that it doesn't cost 200k+ to get one single rank 4 recipe.
its the vendor item making it expensive though
I'm so glad I checked out of this expansion 2 patches ago.
AH prices for crafted base items are so high because of the initial training cost, which only a few super rich players can afford. These few super rich players own the market and can charge rip-off prices that are way above material cost.Blizzard should just get rid of the rank 1-4 training process so that the super rich goblins have some business competition and prices drop to reasonable levels.

i'd been playing since day one mid-pace, and barely had enough progentitor essentia for my lego and one mount. Haven't seen one since the first or second week since. Good change.
