    They gotta sell you Thief DLC somehow right?

    I dont know what people are complaining, Im 2.5 mill richer after IC. I almost doubled my money in fact, just in 6 week or so.

    IC was a good money maker. We had Willpower, Endurance, and Agility items to sell, as well as 6 different kinds of Trophies that sold like hotcakes. I made bank on IC; I'm doing fine with Orsinium too, but most players don't have the knowledge of the market, time, and resources that I am fortunate to have. In any case, we don't have the 3 Best in Slot jewelry sets and the Trophies from IC in Orsinium, and that's the main difference right now.
    Where is your Guild Vendor? I see nothing on your site.

    think u guys are missing my point I'm not saying u cannot make money this patch yess its a lot harder but for someone who doesn't have time to farm mats to sell hey that's the time I could of been playing to have fun with this new expansion I bought. I do not want to get rich off of the gear is sell, but I do want to at least make my money back and hey once in a while get a good piece of gear if I don't want have the option to sell. yeaa soo I could go ahead and make money farm the new mats motifs and what not go pvp and get ap to sell the other new motifs but if a player doesn't have time to do all that is screws you over and makes u WORK TO PLAY not to play have fun and sell some stuff so u can continue to play.

    Just thought I'd add. Everyone on console doubled the price of perfect roe last night due to the new recipes requiring it. An hour or so fishing may help raise some cash. Ground out IC for stones and bought 500 leathers (foolishly as they will be half the price in an hours time ) and they all sold for 15k per 100. Easy money on mats at the moment.

    I suppose if one has the time to farm, then yes you could make some gold in orsinium but for those who have limited time in game its going to be a challenge. I am currently one of those `poor` player. BOP does not help either.

    On topic: Farm Ancestor Silk and Rubedite stuff or trophies in IC. Get Telvar Stones and trade them for V16 runes and sell them.

    Good lord , if you think the only way to make money is from new content areas you don't know how to sell. Making a ton of money is easy just off wood/cloth/leather/metals. If I can make a ton no more than I play this , anyone can.

    Interesting.Just because you might find it easy to generate massive amounts of gold,doesnt mean we all do.

    Maybe people will start treating this like a game now instead of a monopoly.
    Most people that brag about how "wealthy" they are in game are compinsating for lack of real life money anyway.

    THIS!!!

    This sums up the situation perfectly!!!

    Everybody saying that making gold is easy/hard are technically both correct.... its about playstyles and @Cuyler has hit the nail on the head here!

    We used to be able to play for fun and still earn enough gold to carry on/make a profit.... Dungeons, Trials, vDSA, hell even some parts of IC when it first came out.

    What's changed is that since IC they have been very quickly removing the methods of making gold by just playing end game content.... it's now all about the grind specifically to make gold.

    BoP is the obvious root cause of this shift... and the only logical reason for it to have come in so heavily since they started selling DLC is to keep the gear locked behind that paywall to sell more DLC's.

    Sometimes when a player asked for suggestions and then beat the ideas down can be mind numbing. Once we had a lowbie new player in the Guild (NOT veteran level yet) complained about how difficult it is to make money. So we gently offered several suggestions and which each has a counter remarks against them:

    1. Sell all the crap loots to vendors.
    Response: No, I need to decon them to level my crafting

    2. Farm nodes for sale. They sell at better prices when they are not refined.
    Response: No, I need to refind to level crafting and save up the purple and gold tannins

    3. Farm alchemy and some flowers like Columbine can sell for exorbitant prices
    Response: No, I need to craft them to level my low level alchemy

    4. Sell off any special armor drops across Tamriel like warlock sets or syrabane and so forth at trading guild
    Response: No, I MUST decon them to level my crafting and make armors

    5. Go pluck insects to sell for fishing baits
    Response : Nah, I don't have crap ton of time in this game

    None of the new items sets are in any way good or useful to me so them being BoP or not makes little difference to me. However the Julianos set always sells nicely, i can sell v15 versions of it for 7.5k gold and it always sells instantly. Also the fact that now you can farm v15/16 raw materials and they sell for extremely high prices still, so i wouldn't say there is no way to make money, there is more than enough ways.
    Also the new motifs, recipes sell well too. For PvP players - akaviri pages can be sold for decent amount and there's finally a real financial purpose for AP as anything else except siege equipment and repair kits is useless.
    Sometimes, I dream about...cheese...

    Then you are making your own choices. You can either level up the crafting or sell it for money to others who want to level the crafting (or want a set piece). Kind of a cake-and-eat-it-too situation.
