Never have, never will. Not to come off preachy here, but I think it's pretty pathetic if you have to buy gold, especially if its just for repairs. Repairs are the one single fucking "risk" in this game outside of just time and you can't even pay that? I mean what do you do in the game when you're not inside BWL or AQ40? Go "okay guys see you next week" and log off?

Can you seriously not enjoy a stratholme run with guildmates every so often?

It is so retardedly easy to get gold in this game (here's a tip for engineers: buy thorium in the middle of the month and sell widgets at the beginning for 2-4x the price for faire) that if you can't even spend a few hours a week at the absolute most outside of a raid instance, I seriously question why you bother with the game. There is so much to this game beyond sitting in a room with 39 other people, even if it's just running laps around plaguelands killing undead for shits and giggles.

But anyway .. I was loaded to the gills in EQ (as if money mattered) and I've got well over 1.5k gold in WoW across various characters now so i certainly don't need to buy any. This is after 8 90g mounts, 1 640g mount, 300+g in runecloth for rep, 100g x2 for 300 eng, etc. I spend 80% of my online time either in one of the BGs, MC, BWL, or in Org waiting for any of the above .. and in that 20% I still manage to amass more money than I will likely ever need.
