this is all wrong.
This is all right.

Djuntas, you sound knowledgeable. how could you say something so "unknowledgable"
Blizz set prospect rates from ore purposefully (red/greem vs others), not because they are dumb. Market is and will likely always be flooded with non reds and greens because its exactly what they want.
Once tokens started, its clear they want to take nearly all the margins out of professions. To some degree they are in business of selling gold, so why allow gold goblins to create unlimited amounts.
Im not the dumbest AH guy, always focused in JC, Enchant, Alch and Tailoring. Before tokens, you could print gold, reset markets, ample opportunities to sell high volume of high margin consumables, gear, , etc etc (especially in early parts of expansions)
in BFA, i've tried all sorts of strats in all four of my profs. there is just no way. Yes, you can still squeak out a profit, but not anywhere close to pre-tokens. I've only made 500k-1M profit since BFA dropped vs 5-10m in the good old days.
anyone about to type the expected "omgzzz I've made gabillions " save it. its just not possible anymore using profs. this is purposeful from Blizz.
Even flipping epic gear is no where near what it used to be. There is so much good gear avail for casual players from multiple sources for free. Maybe some profit early from hard core raiders wanting to gear up quickly in very early part of expansion. But not without risk of getting stuck 25-75K on any piece of gear.
