    How much gold is an "average" amount of gold?

    I see some people talking about how they have massive amounts of gold, up to the millions. This blows my mind, as I only have around 35k gold. I don't play the AH and really only do dailies once and a while. How much would the average player (who has an 85) have in terms of gold? Of course we can't say for certain, but I'm looking for an estimate.

    I think 30k is average if you don't play AH and just get gold from quest/dungeons/raids.

    I only have 18k on my whole account.

    My mind also boggles when people talk about having hundreds of thousands of gold.

    Sitting at about 55k atm. But that's only because I have recently started playing the AH to help build my bank for buy the grand expediton yak come mists.

    Before I started I was 25-30k. So I'd say that is your average.

    Very hard to guess. Are we talking arithmetic middle or median? I guess (and it's just a guess) that many people have very little gold, but a) there *is* tons of gold out there in reasonably few hands and b) the perception gets distorted as you may have to compete with the big guns if you are after something special on AH.

    I think the 30k predictions are right on the mark. Maybe a little higher. I personally am at the early 40k mark, I do not participate at all in the AH outside of purchasing stuff for my character.

    If we're talking an average including the extremes, then it is likely higher than 100k. If you exclude the extreme highs, I would guess closer to 30-40k.

    Myself, I'm sitting at 130k on my account, sadly spread across three servers.

    It's most likely around 20k I'd say. Most of my friends don't have more than 10k, except for a few that gets it all from botting. I wouldn't be at a much higher amount than that if it wasn't for boosting. I currently have 800k and I haven't really played since mid-april(raided/boosted that is).

    Yeah I believe avg is around 30-40k I guess.

    Having access to 4 or 5 main professions (JC/Ench/Alch) on max level helps a lot. So you can shuffle ore, make glyphs, sell enchants. Youtube or twitch.tv can be your friend in finding a few starting points. Sitting at 160k atm with spending 15-30 mins a day.
