I used to sell enchants and gem cuts on my server to the public. I charged a small fee for them, which varied depending on the rarity and quality of the enchant or gem. However I've encountered for every 10 happy customers I would encounter one HUGE jerk that would throw a big fit in general and trade chat that I wanted to charge him/her 5g for mongoose, or 5g per stack of adamantite ore to prospect. As if I owed them my time, and free arbitrage opportunity to turn a stack of ore that's 15g on the auction house into a 20 - 50g gem.

Pre-TBC the players seemed more civil, however something's definitely changed at my servers. Perhaps the primary player demographic has changed drastically. Who knows? I completely stopped offering my services and finally turned off the dreaded trade channel permanently.
