Currently flipping out.

Is there any specific goal you are after in regards to gold? Blizzard has been working pretty hard to make gold easy to get and difficult to spend. I scrapped my plans to level teams of "profession-bots" because I have what I need to keep my characters geared, enchanted, gemmed, and fed. There do not seem to be many goldsinks in Cata. Even dual spec (1000g --> 100g) and cold-weather flying (1000g --> 500g) have been cut pretty drastically. I've stopped worrying about accumulating gold and started worrying if I'll be able to spend it.

theres always gold sinks, thats just how the game works otherwise the economy would be in shambles.

ex: sands of time or w/e costs 24,000 gold.

I'm pleased I stuck with my original plan - lots of tailors & alchemists, only one JC. They laughed at me, the fools, but I showed them! (insert insane, evil laugh)

[Catamer]

I was saying the same thing when my 5x tailors were made worthless.... GFDI

kate, unless you plan on getting every character to 84, the tailors are also WORTHLESS, sorry to tell ya.

On my server, there are a lot of GDKP's.
Typically five a day, for both 10 and 25's of whatever the highest content is.

Similarly, there are very geared/skilled toons who sell a rating in 2's.
Pay them so much, group up and play until you get to whatever.

Blizzard has so many gold sinks in the game.
But there isn't really a shortage of places to spend gold.
Especially with seven teams of toons, in my case (others have more or less).
There's no way I'll gear some of the alt teams, but could take them on GDKP's if I were so inclined.

Same on my server. In fact I'd be uber rich if I didn't have this compulsion to gear out every one of my chars in GDKP =)

They'll all be capped. I don't make alts just to have them master professions.

[Kalyse]

Isn't this all just speculation.
I haven't created a single profession on any of my chars yet. I will wait until Cataclysm, but there could easily be a CD introduced. Right?

When something is labeled [Release] the chances are slim that something new will be introduced. Not impossible but slim.
