This is my submission to Cold’s Gold Blogging Carnival for February 2013.

This is in response to the post 20 Days of Gold Making – Community Idea from Auction House Addict.

Question #1 is: When did you start gold making & what triggered it?

I started attempting to make gold as soon as I started playing WoW.  It seemed to me like an obvious and natural part of the game.  For a while, I figured it was something everybody did. Auctioneer was the first addon I installed.  After every play session I would hearth back to Darnassus to scan the auction house and post my various meats and gear and whatever else I happened to find.  This was before I realized how convenient a bank alt would be and way before I figured out how to get my Night Elf to Stormwind where the Auction House/Bank/Mail Box juxtaposition is much more convenient (or actually just roll a human and run him over).  I didn’t really know what I was doing.  I was just blindly following the recommendations of Auctioneer.  Despite my inexperience, I had enough small AH victories to keep me in the gold making game for the long haul.

Stay tuned for Day 2: If you set yourself a goal, what was your goal & at what point did you set it?
