After reading more and more posts on this site, I cant seem to figure out if whoever is writing these posts can help writing with so many errors like that. If that is the case, then I have stepped over the line and I sincerely apologize. <br /><br />If you can help it though, edit your work. Its genius but extremely hard to read and make sense of because not only am I trying to understand your points, but also trying figure out what you are trying to actually say. <br /><br />again, I apologize if I was rude.<br /><br />MikeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-67990894946070809272009-04-15T23:54:00.000+02:002009-04-15T23:54:00.000+02:00hey there.

Its always cool to help people get better at things they dont understand. <br /><br />I was confused while reading this post however, by the massive massive amount of sentence structure errors and words that seem to be missing. Im not sure what happened here, but some of those paragraphs are extremely difficult to read. such sentences as... <br /><br />"Understand that he may grinded insane amount of time to level that BS to 420"<br /><br />should be <br /><br />" Understand that he may have spent an insane amount of time grinding that BS level to 420"<br /><br />In no way am I trying to be an ass or rude to you. I simply think that this post is very informative but I myself struggled MASSIVELY considering the above sentence is one of so so so many in that post that are like that. <br /><br />Just trying to help out with a great post! thanks for all the tips on your site!<br /><br />MikeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-7757850964438838372009-03-25T01:05:00.000+01:002009-03-25T01:05:00.000+01:00you mentioned make sure one profession is skinning...you mentioned make sure one profession is skinning when they have two.<BR/><BR/>i was skinning mining and dropped skinning for herbs is this purely to do with tracking on mini map?<BR/><BR/>I track herbs and use gatherer HUDs to fly over the ore nodes as i can see them fairly clearly <BR/><BR/>To me i seem to make more money from herbs and my friendly alchemist keeps me away from AH buying raiding consumeablesDavidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06922052676597197705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-13155845716420654152009-02-20T07:14:00.000+01:002009-02-20T07:14:00.000+01:00Gev I have a question for you.

The problem is that I don't have any 80s and my main is 76 and doesn't have close to the amount of money for cold weather flying. My main is Eng/BS, I have a rogue at 70 with mining/skinning, and a lvl 60 DK with heralism/inscription. My question is this; should I first focus on levelling up my main and my rogue to at least 76 for cold weather flying, or should I just go to town as is with collection, crafting, and AH trading?<BR/><BR/>Thanks,<BR/>MoojahideenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-47613978741001342542008-12-12T17:55:00.000+01:002008-12-12T17:55:00.000+01:00Hm... not as nice as I had hoped.

It's more about thinking as a businessman than knowing a few tricks. Economies change all the time, tricks that used to work yesterday won't today, but the real business minded people out there will never be short of ways to make gold.AJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00111353619109299390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-36884853436633935552008-12-11T20:20:00.000+01:002008-12-11T20:20:00.000+01:00That's an awesome post.

I have been selling stacks of 2 spices for about 20 gold each. So, besides the gold you get from the cooking daily itelf, you potentially have another 250-300 gold or more.

I wish I'd listen to it myself or give more priority to those things I knew I should do.<BR/>However gaming time is limited and it always end up in hard decisions.
