I am really wondering how it will all change especially when past content mats can be used to craft 50g-ish worth items. Right now Shimerscale Striker is pretty much used as the main gold making solution by anyone who wants to get fast gold ASAP 
All gold in game started as raw gold,so i would say that over time prices will drop overall.
Make me wonder how will that turn out for rich people that enter SL with gold cap,they would pretty much be even more rich 
Edit:Unless they make broken mission table like in WOD and Legion.
Abused in which way? Buy mats/farm, craft the item, and sell it to vendor. Which part of this is abusing? If you wanna play ah, also this method only works as long as the mats wont cost more than the weapon.
Doubt they ever do it again.
Iâm not sure about gold value but when Shadowlands hits live the token price will skyrocket as all the people coming back will buy them and cash them in to buy the expansion.
I donât know if this happened to anyone else last stat squish but the stuff in my guild bank that was âof the bearâ and all of those all had level 1 stats until you took them out of the guild bank. They also had a small letter for the animal instead of a capital. Some still havenât changed and when I contacted Blizzard about them I was told âtough luck we canât do anythingâ. Nice.

The part where people overuse/overexploit one method of gold making.
Word âabuseâ have more than just one meaning.
It works all the time because mats wonât cost more simply because when something gets popular the amount of mats generated by people grows and the price goes down.
On my servers bones cos 7 gold each, the simmer cost 10-20 silver each, which already overprice of the fist weapon. Also the price of the crafted item added by blizz, so its hardly abuse.
Right⌠I have on me 1857 bones and 3201 Scales and lets say we gonna AH them:
1857 bones for letâs say 7g = 12,999g
3201 scales for 20s = 640g
So we would get = 13,639g
Now letâs craft Strikers and vendor it:
1857 bones and 3021 scales is enough for 232 Strikers:
232 * 57,50 = 13,340g
So AH look barely profitable BUT those are all GREEN Strikers and if you count in all the Rare procâs which cost 13g more then crafting and vendoring is more profitable than AH.
On my server bones are under 6g and scales are 40s so itâs pointless to AH those mats and if people try to AH bones the price will stay on the level which makes them useless to sell but also useless to buy and craft Strikers to vendor them.
All in all, vendoring green/blue strikers is usually more profitable and with the high rate at which you can farm large amounts bones and scales itâs one of the best solo farms in game. The only thing which beats it is multi-boxing farm.
Still depending on what realm u are, also the rare proc kinda low.
Not really since Striker crafting/vendoring is really popular and many people tried to AH mats and that caused prices to go down to the point where itâs pointless to buy mats to craft strikers but it also pointless to sell mats on AH.
It literally doesnât matter what the proc rate is since the shire existence of the proc makes crafting/vendoring more profitable than selling mats on AH.
Still nothing to do with abuse, blizz made the price of the item, but its up to players what price they sell the mats. If they sell it cheaper, thats their problem.
The game wasnât designed for people to craft hundreds of items and vendor it for raw gold and since people learned that they can make more gold in this - nonintended way - they by default are abusing game design.
The only reason why people are using this method is because of multi-boxers activity and every other gold making being crap because of it.
Normally no one would craft and vendor greens because if not for multi-boxers mats would have of dirt.
How do you know? When blizzard said that? Raw gold farming also include by simple loot gold from a dead corpse.
By your mean dead enemies should not drop money, or items should not have selling prices at all.
How is it abusing a mechanic when the feature is neither an exploit, nor a bug, nor an oversight?..
In an MMORPG where you have a proper economy like in WoW, game designers intend for people to make gold through proper systems like crafting and the auction house. The ability to trade goods to the vendor is just a side option designed to allow people to get rid of items from their inventory.
âVendoringâ is not intended as the main source of income and it happens in the game right now only because proper ways of making gold were made useless by multi-boxers.
Thats like your opinion only. Still waiting a source, or some rule about that forbid to sell a crafted gear to a vendor.
Can you like show a single MMO where it was ever profitable to craft items just to sell them? If that was Blizzardâs intention then that would have been the case in previous expansions as well.
It is simply common sense. You can sell items you crafted from mats to NPCs simply to reduce the cost you poured into the crafting itself and you cannot sell the item on the AH.
There was also a similar issue with one of the wands enchanters could craft. It used the same method of making money by crafting a specific type of wand to make money. Blizzardâs response was to reduce the selling price of the wand by 40%.
Seems we are going nowhere with this.
If you think, that selling a crafted gear to a npc vendor is abusing, then wrote a GM ticket and ask the people who do this, to be banned.
Have a good night!
You seem to be stuck on the whole selling part, eventhough that is not what the issue is.
The issue is that the items worth more when sold to the NPC than they should be.

And how do you know, how much x gear should worth? The prices added by blizz. Are you a developer of the game? #doubt.
If you think the item are overpiced, then go and contact the GM and give your reasons.
What are you even talking about? No one says that selling crafted gear is disallowed.
You are seriously clueless about the topic.
Yes, we arenât because you donât even understand what other person says neither you understand the issue.
The vendor price for a given item canât be too high because it would make any other money-making system in the game useless. AH, crafting, etc. all of it would be pointless to have in the game.
Anyway, itâs pointless to have a conversation with you since you fail to understand the basic logic of the game design and at the same time, you donât even understand what other person is saying.
