Phase 3: Profit !

Yesterday, when I finished my auctions posting, I saw a 62lv DK spamming /trade “Free Boost in the Stockade”

I could use some _Free_ leveling for my banker for travel from (Druid)

I joined the party, and most of them recognize my bank alts name from the AH (Fame may not be a good thing for us though).

The catch about the boost thing is that the DK want to collect wool and silk for leveling tailoring.
So she decided to do it herself, and she even let us keep on the loot (Blueies and greenies).

I didn’t pick much, since the other alts are so eager to loot all the corpses, and I don’t really need that. (In goblin term, I don’t even want to do the clicking)

I tried to give her some advice (Since I would said it’s pretty time consuming on farming wools there)

1. She should consider buying cloth on AH, instead of farming that herself. (Consider 2-3 stacks of wool, per run of stockack, and it’s sold 1-2G per stack?)
   - She refused, I suspect she had no idea of what’s opportunity cost
2. Boost people for payment and buy those cloth is much more effective (If she’s not willing to pay for cloth)
   - She refused too, for a social reason “people boost me before, so I shouldn’t charge others for it”
3. The price on AH is on 4-5g due to shortage on weekend, so I told her if she ever consider to buy them, she better do it on weekday
4. She believe the cloth should be sold at 50% price (50s) on what show on my auctioneer average, and said anyone selling higher than that is a evil trader (Bxxxtard etc). I doubt that anyone will sell her except morons.

I was thinking to sell her on 1g (100% market price), for some stock remaining in my mail box, (I would lost 200% if I put that on the market, since they’re 300%+ now).
But I didn’t even suggest that (Since she won’t accept that price anyway).

Finally I offered some tips on where to farm for mageweave. (If you really had to farm, at least find somewhere worth your time)

I can foresee she’ll be farming the instance for hours to get her tailoring up.
While telling her to stop boosting others is against my own interest (Since I can be boosted too), but….

There is not much I could do,
if she just didn’t listen to advice.
But at least she is happy about this (may be).

Sometimes, the reason for people remain poor is themselves.
