OK, things seem to be in a state of flux. We're in the pre-patch, garrison gold nerfs are in, and for those of us who don't have beta access it may be less than clear how gold generation is going to go in the early part of Legion.
We can guess the usual suspects like a brief period where materials are expensive, but what about the rest? For example, a recent thread speculated that missions would still reward decent gold: http://www.mmo-champion.com/threads/...all-over-again As more information came out during the thread, that was updated to show they probably wouldn't.
So, where are we getting our gold, and how necessary will it be to have huge sums for things aside from BMAH and a handful of regular items? WoD may have generated gold, but to go along with that vendors seemed to want thousands even for fairly minor things. Are vendors in Legion going to be selling things for 10,000 and up now?
