Normally I like to keep my sacks clean (Ooh!) but It's probably time to craft up a bunch of enchants, glyphs and gems for the big day. Time to get the assembly line into production! :D Not knowing when they’ll drop the 3.1 bomb on us, I think I’ll start stockpiling AHable materials myself.

That's a great scheme, but I'm currently burning through the mats to level enchanting, myself. I'm watching the updates to glyphs in 3.1 closely and preparing to craft as soon as it hits. However, I think many of the new glyphs will be available as recipe drops in WoTLK dungeons (just as the old JC recipes dropped in BC dungeons). This may hurt me in the short-term, since my Inscriptionist doesn't run dungeons, but the price of herbs should escalate when 3.1 drops, and I've got flowers coming out of every orifice! :D By “experiment,” are you referring to the buy cheap JC mats, craft, disenchant, and sell enchanting materials?

Back on Ursin, home of the Jr. Whopper, the economy is in a recession, primarily due to the very small population having everything they need already and no influx of new players to buy stuff. I've totally clobbered the infinite dust market almost single handedly, and went from making approximately 1K a day to 1.5K a week. It's no longer worth buying the mats on the AH to turn into enchanting goods as the margin is so slim, so short of finding deals I just use whatever I farm up myself. Meanwhile, on other higher population servers, folks can continue to pump dusts, essences, inscriptions, cut gems, etc., into the market at a reasonable expectation of profit. New players and prolific twinked alts all serve to bolster the economy and even drive inflation. The downside to the lower-pop-server conundrum is that it only really keeps one from buying the gold sinks Blizzard put in-game - primarily the crazy expensive mounts. When I started aggressively cornering the dust market I figured I would be able to buy every mount available within a month. Now I realize that was too lofty a goal. Although my gold-making scheme is theoretically solid (it's the same one a lot of folks are using after all), it is not nearly as successful with a smaller player base. I bring this all up because I'm seeing the exact same thing with inscription. I was making a fortune with my DK who is also a scribe, but that has recently dried up as folks tend to stick with their favorite inscriptions and seldom swap out. The release of 3.1 will change that with dual spec, but only on the very short term on Ursin because the population will quickly buy up their extra glyphs (and gems and enchants) and things will likely stagnate once again. I should take one of my many toons on a high-pop server and repeat the experiment there, but I don't think I could stand to power-level JC again so soon... Damn, that was painful. :( This is an interesting thread BC, and it also shows the tremendous difference between high and low pop servers in general.
