and then just dont buff easy as that. when i was lvling i also didnt buff i just told them im short on mana and costs too much
If youâre farming, yes youâre right. I wouldnt stop to buff int either. But if Im passing by in Org I dont see the issue

Who cares.
It only costs you a tad of mana, something youâll get back in no time idling.
If youâre that worried about money, just go do another one of your aoe farm runs.
I canât believe the most advantaged gold making class actually justifies paying for something free.

Itâs not much about the mana, itâs that I have to stop cast and trade. I can make almost 1g per minute, so that time is that much worth to me
If you are too busy to stop to conjure food for stranger, then donât stop and conjure food for stranger.
If you are not in a rush and are happy to conjure food for stranger, then stop and conjure food for stranger.
Why does gold even need to come into the equation?
I donât find anything wrong with selling conjured water. Itâs not worth buying but if people do then sure, sell it. Personally I would never pay for consumables that vanish on logout but to each their own.
What is weird is suggesting that players ought to always pay for it. Because not all mages are wanting to sell the water. Like as a Rogue I never ask for gold to open lockboxes. I just either do it for free when I have the time or donât when I donât have the time. No one should feel obligated to pay me since I am not asking to be paid.

In fact I dont stop, generally. I only stop if the request for food or water already include the promise of a tip

Oh poor you.
You keep insisting this rule applies only outside groups/dungeons.
Everyoneâs time is valuable, no matter the situation.
How about the warlock who could be making himself a coffee but instead has to summon 36 people to molten core?
What about all the shards he had to collect even before joining?
Itâs ridiculous to ask money for these services.
Even if people offer money for tanking, i will still refuse to take it.

Again, itâs different in a group because I have a direct interest in it. If Iâm in a group Iâll freely craft the tood because it speeds up the run which is in my own interest.
Why should I care about the farming time of a complete stranger?
So why should I care about the time of a strange mage who says they are losing precious farming time to make me food?
Well youâre the one asking. I can simply ignore your request. Why shouldnât I?

Actually you know Zalanji you should be asking us all for money on this thread for each post you make. You are using up your valuable â1-gold-per-minuteâ time ingame by typing replies to us in the forum.

It takes 6 seconds to conjure a stack of water, lets round it up to 10 with trading, and about 10 more seconds to gain the mana back, thatâs 20 seconds of the mageâs time.
Considering mages can usually farm about 60 gold/hour, the opportunity cost of these 20 seconds spent is 33 silver and 33 copper.
So thatâs just the bare minimum you should pay for a stack of lvl 55 water in order for mage not to waste time. Of course, if you also wanna be nice and tip them for their service, 1 gold per stack sounds reasonable.
PS: and yes, this post isnât 100% serious. But still, pay the mages for water unless youâre in a dungeon, donât be a dick.

Im not playing now, and Im posting because I want, not because youâre paying me to do so
I ask all who insult mages different way.
What should i do for example if every single person in orgrimmar or whole world ask me for water and food ( not in group ), just strangers hm?
Make water and food to everyone ? Only because they want it ? Spend my all time in game making water and food for free ?
If you tank some dungeon, or healing, you are doing that for yourself, you choose to play that class / spec, so mages play dps class / spec to dps, not making whole day water and food to strangersâŚ
Like many mages say, i dont have problem to do water and food and portals in group / raid for free, but why should i do it for free for strangers if they whisp me somewhere, speacially when they whisp me this way -âHey bro, make my waterâ, no chance then if you cant even ask nicelly.

Itâs not rude to not pay someone who isnât asking to be paid. Time only has a gold value to it if is time that you would have otherwise spent earning gold. For example if Iâm just semi-afk in org there is no gold cost associated with my time if I do something for someone.

The point isnât much to pay mages regardless, but simply to not feel offended if they ignore or deny your request unless you promise a reasonable tip
