I love the new 4.2 dalies!

Gold isn't useless. It's not necessary for the most part, but it's an easy path to quick upgrades and enchants if you cannot or do not want to farm them yourself.

if your an alt-o-holic like me. then gold comes in handy. I like my teams having epic flying as soon as they can train it for example. etc..

Also, making money is a mini game.. its fun to see how much you can horde up!

Gold is pretty much useless at a certain point. With normal gameplay (questing, instances, zero farming), you could have easily made more than a million gold since cata release. Well, if you think you HAVE to buy random BoE crap as soon as it hits the server at stupid prices, then you might run out of gold. Farming raid trash (well, any kind of farming) for hours to get gold is absolutely mind-numbing.

Getting more gold is the only reason i'm still playing this game, approaching 1M soon. People have different motivations for playing MMOs, it's what you make of it.

4.2 dailies are the best thing that has hit WoW in a while. The areas are massively crowded though and i end up getting quite a few HKs every day while howling blasting my mobs.
