    There must be something to those TBC dungeons then because when my friend got hacked, after I think 2 weeks, his armory was showing something along the lines of 800 Talon-king "what's his name" guy in SH. Dunno if there was major money involved because he didn't get any extra when he had the account back but it's curious.

    TBC is a great place to make gold if you're bored. In the last few months I've done a bunch of the rep grinds, generally in one sitting since I'm unemployed and have brutal insomnia, and made a ton of gold off greens, blues, and trash drops.

    The Mag'Har one was awesome, took about 4.5 hours to farm out, and completely filled my bags with greens. I also mined the mineral nodes that spawned in the cave virtually each time I ran through, and wound up making about 1k on khorium ore, and 500g on adamantium ore.

    So after 4.5 hours you got 1.5kgold? And you think that is AWESOME?

    No, he got 1.5 from minerals. He did not state how much he made with the greens, or looted from the bodies.

    I'm sorry but this is no different than the people who get hacked and find their chars have farmed Black Temple trash like mad.

    If you kill a boss over 900 times you will gain some gold through straight vendor trash. Rough estimate that each boss drops around 7g in blues your talking around 6000g right there. Include all the other trash and maybe some auction house love and 20,000g profit for 900+ runs isn't impossible.

    I fail to see what is so "legit" about suggesting you hack someones account and start farming a Burning Crusade heroic

    As malformed as the original post is, he's saying that a gold farmer hacked his "friend's" account and farmed Mana Tombs with it, suggesting that if a gold farmer spends their time farming it, there must be a decent source of gold in the activity. Not that you should hack someone.

    I am pretty sure Gold Farmers just farm there because it means there is no chance of getting caught by players running in to them, since it's inside their own instance.
    I shall die here. Every inch of me shall perish. Every inch, but one. An inch. It is small and it is fragile and it is the only thing in the world worth having. We must never lose it or give it away. We must never let them take it from us.

    Remember that you can only enter 5 instances per hour.

    So that 987 kills is roughly 200 hours (197.4, but meh) worth of work. That works out to over 8 days of straight play doing absolutely nothing else.

    20k for 8 straight days of non-stop play isn't actually very good.

    Plus chances are good they used a teleport hack to go directly to the end. It would take a normal player longer.


    Oh, one other little piece of math to add to this. 20k gold divided by 1000 runs (roughly) = 20 gold per run. Given that a daily awards 10-20g and takes just a couple of minutes, while each of these MT runs takes at least a fifth of an hour (to fit in 5 per hour), dailies = WAYY better gold than this.

    Well, I think I'll run a couple of mata tombs when I'm bored now

    I highly doubt they have someone doing the labor, there's tons of bots that I'm sure are quite capable of farming instances.

    If I kill crocolisks in Sholazar for two weeks 24/7 straight I'd get 20k gold too
    They farm TBC instances because they're easy enough to use a bot, there is no chance of getting caught, and you are safe from other players if you're on a pvp server
    Considering the time invested the return is awful
    You could farm heroics for badges, turn them into conquest badges and get the same amount of money when 4.0 hits for less time invested
