    The other issue I see with it is that you need to actually do a daily quest - which is pretty easy if you have one team, but when you get to having 5 teams it just seems like a lot of drama.

    My goal in Cata is to have bunches of tailor/alchemists - both have cooldowns that can be sold, and neither will require (so far) anything other than clicking a couple of buttons to use them. Tailoring is dirt cheap to level since you get piles of cloth as a byproduct of leveling your team, and alchemy isn't terribly expensive.

    Thanks for clarifying the reasoning behind having a herd of JCs
    Even now, uncuts sell for up to 50g less then cut gems on our AH. market is pretty inactive aswell, so if you actually use JC at max level, you can easily earn a profit.

    Sidenote: if you would sell the cloth instead of using it it would give you gold. So to be honest, it's far from free. But you just don't have to spend gold on it. Alchemy cooldown proved to be much more valuable then the tailoring one. So if you use the CD every day, Alchemy will net you a lot more profit. Especially combined with JC.

    On my server, there is SO MUCH CLOTH that the only ones worth selling are wool and mageweave, occasionally runecloth (but that's been iffy for me), usually - otherwise it sells for just a bit over vendor price, and if you have an auction fail to sell even once you wind up losing money due to deposits; even when it sells you still wind up barely breaking even because of the AH cut. Functionally, there's essentially no difference between using it to level tailoring or risking a loss/slight profit. To further skew things, I have been making a substantial income selling everything my tailors make while skilling up as disenchant fodder (once I've gotten my own enchanter skilled up, of course).

    What's really odd is that, for many items, I can sell the items to be disenchanted for, in many cases, more than I'd be able to sell the dusts/essences for if I just DE'd them myself! In any case, I'm making more by skilling up tailoring and selling the results (either as items or dusts/essences) than I would from just selling the cloth right now.

    I will probably have a single max level JC - I just don't see the value in leveling a bunch of them in order to take advantage of a very limited window of opportunity to have ALL the cuts before anyone else, especially given that my server is medium/high population, so there will certainly be plenty of competition for cuts right off the bat.

    Looks like a sign of "each market is different" and "your mileage may vary"
