I cannot find an actual point in this paragraph.
You have said nothing of value in here.
"You have to farm something" is that your point here?
Sorry, but that sentence doesn't make sense to me.
"if that means some alchemist that isn't using their transmute uses their transmute."
Sounds like one big contradiction to me.
Let me remind you that in an inflated economy, passive gold income by just playing the game isn't worth much.
My foresight tells me that a single mote will cost about 1/10 of a Primal.
And AH sniping isn't something you "just do".
Now you are just rambling.
1. People that are just questing aren't causing issues at these farmspots (there weren't even any quests for a farmspot such as the Elemental Plateau), they kill X mobs and move.
2. People that need 20+ Primals need to kill hundreds of Elementals, and with too many of those, an area will be overfarmed (not to mention those that farm it to sell them)
3. TBC dungeons don't have a lot of Elementals (At least valueable ones such as Air or Fire), they have only a handful of lone mobs, the dungeon layout also makes solo farming very difficult
4. You farmed dungeons for Rep and Badges of Justice, not materials
Like mate, the fact that you haven't given a lot of thought on the subject shows in a painful fashion and we're at a point where you just throw questing and farming endgame materials into the same pot for no reason.
