I've heard rumors that prices for Cata herbs, hides and ores are going to be insanely high a few weeks/months after launch. I'm considering dropping ench and eng to go mining/herbalist when cata launches, and then go alch/engi when the prices have settled down a bit.
Would this be a good idea? Or would it be a waste of money?
-Evela.
PS: What about wotlk ores and herbs? I guess their prices are gonna go up too, because there's no one farming it and people still need it for leveling? Would it be stupid to stockpile herbs and ores now, and resell a couple months after cata launch?
