hard to tell what the market will be like when the patch hits. well, hard for me at least, I'm now a pro wow economist.

however it's looking like there won't be much left to spend gold on this late in the expansion. And I'm saying that as a PVPer... not one of these "I farm everything so I never need gold" pve types. Of course I guess you could hoard gold for the expansion. Biggest gold sink for a PVPer, assuming you didn't just roll an alt team, is going to be professions.. don't waste it on battered hilts. There are a few other things, but they aren't that expensive, for a boxer... like guild's selling shadow's edge or 3s teams carrying you for 5-10k gold for a good weapon or something
