Transmog farming can be an extremely lucrative business in WoW. We've all seen
Studen rake in hundreds of thousands of gold from farmed and crafted transmogs alone, and wondered "How can I get a piece of that cake?".
The truth is that for the majority of players, pulling in that much gold per week through transmog is almost impossible, even if you were to camp the auction house day in, day out, undercutting every would be competitor on your server. A successful transmog goldmaker like Studen farms for three hours a day on most days. They're on a near perfect server for their market, with a large number of active players with a decent amount of interest in transmog. They have thousands of unique, high value items on the auction house at any given time. To top it off, they find great enjoyment in the grind. If you can find the time, and enjoyment in farming hundreds of items from low-level dungeons each and every day, you might just be the next Studen.
The majority of you (myself included) don't find farming fun. You don't have 20+ hours to burn each week on an activity that you find dull and mindless. Because of these things alone, you may try but you'll never be able to commit to doing this week in, week out, and this is why you'll fail. Repost after repost, without seeing success, you'll simply call it, and be just another guy who saw a transmog youtuber, tried to get into the transmog business, and quit after a day/week/month. Simply put, its about expectations. Transmog is not a get rich quick scheme. You won't wake up the next day to a mailbox full of gold on day one, two or three. For most of us, it will take months to get to a point where we have to refresh our mailbox to get to the rest of the gold. Our expectations are high, and the initial results are rarely ever in the same ballpark. A few days or weeks of less than stellar results and we give up, because we lack patience. If you want/need gold now, transmog is not the solution.
