Re: the blacksmithing.

On my server when someone starts to get "cute" with enchanting mats, I just punish them. It's a free market so you can just undercut them into the dirt until they go away. At the point where they realize you're willing to take a loss on each and every stack they start to place nice and then everyone can win.

Market collusion ftw.

posting dust for less than one silver is now a very very stupid idea. in the last patch blizz finally introduced a minimum deposit on ALL items including enchanting mats of 1 silver. so if you post individual dusts, you are paying for the privilege of losing money.

I did the undercutting and material buyout bit on my server for a while. It didn't take long before I had my guild bank and my personal bank stuffed to the gills with raw mats.

It took me over a month to move all of the mats back onto the market as crafted materials. I have to say it wasn't worth it except for the pleasure of running the gold farmers out of that particular market segment. I ended up making enough money to recoup my investment at about 10x profit over my initial investment.

Now if I could only do that in real life...
