To add to my previous post; I definitely fall into MiRai's B category but I still think it is possible for anyone to pay their subs by doing what I do with the assumption that your economy is similar to mine and token prices stay stable, which they have for some time now. Yes, I do have the advantage of having 96 max level characters and I can take advantage of things like the 2k emissary reward when it comes around. However, gold from that sort of thing gets kept separate. All of the gold collected by toons from quest rewards and vendoring items gets put into my guild bank. Just from that I have made at least 7M gold so far this expansion. I used that to save up for gold sinks. The money I use to pay my subs comes from my bank toon. Everything that I don't vendor goes to the bank toon and gets sold on the AH. For the AH stuff it isn't so much about how many toons you have, it is more about how much time is played.
