All the people telling me "gold is easy to come by" are probably %100 correct.....relatively speaking. But I simply cannot "afford" to spend the time it takes to do it. Nor, by the way, do I want to.

You cannot afford to spend the money.
I cannot afford to spend the time.

In fact, I'll go so far as to say that if I truly had to spend this time to farm gold in order to continue playing WoW, I'd probably have quit by now.
This basically sums up my feelings. To be perfectly frank, I get little enough time to enjoy gaming as is, and I want to spend that time doing fun things (raiding, in my case). When 1k gold costs less than an hour of work, it's a no brainer.

I would imagine a lot of the people vehemently against it are students without a real income yet (note: this isn't a knock against those people). When you start balancing family & job with free time, your free time becomes exponentially more valuable.
