Crushing poverty of vanilla wow classic gold

Did you scoff at the idea of saving 100 gold? If this is so, it's possible that you never experienced the crushing poverty of vanilla wow classic gold. The same as real life, there were players who were rich and had all the best equipment, and there were other people who would scratch a living selling seller trash just so they might rub two copper coins together.

Others would spend angling for Deviate Fish in mywowgold classic wow gold Lushwater Oasis, or murdering turtles in HIllsbrad in the expectation they'd drop pearls. A buddy of mine needed a prosperous venture butchering gorillas in Stranglethorn therefore that he could match the thick leather mark on the auction house.
