MoP Goblin profiteering theorycrafting

yeah, the pets and mount x account are coming but not pet battles

What's unclear is if we will still have the new pet interface, and if it allows for caging of pets or not.

the new mount and pet interface will be in, not sure about the caging

You might be able to tell on the PTR.

[bldavis]

no caging, unless the UI is buggered and not triggering
the option is there, but nothing happens when i select it

[Nooska]

I think caging requires some achievement from pet battling - at least I don't seem to have the ability on the beta either (only just started playing with pet battles yesterday)

[Volitaire]

I think there is a pre-requisite to caging that you have to complete some quest line in pet-battles to be able to do that.

In that case I'll be watching for disgruntled folk dumping pets on the AH... and waiting till the 25th.

OH yeah...watching indeed! SO many people are dumoing right now too! LOVE IT! All the old metal from TBC sold great in Wrath. Wrath sold great in Cata. Cata will sell great in Mists. I ganked 6000 Elem ore last night for 60s each! DAMN! I will sit on them.

Just confirmed in beta that Wands are MH, and enchantable, so you might want to have some extra PowerTorrents ready.

We were not 100% sure whether the engineering trinket was going to stay as it and not require engineering, and it looks like everything is going to stay as it is as they're intention is to finally give us something to sell:

What is the design intent behind the engineer MoP "bomb" G91 Landshark? Currently on the beta it can be used by anyone, engineer or not, and has a 1 min cooldown but can only be used once per fight. Are these intended to be sellable to all players?
Yes, there are several engineer-created items in Mists which are usable by non-engineers and sellable. These are indeed intended to be usable as consumables in raids. However, the Landsharks you mentioned share a cooldown with combat potions so these are an alternative.

Which means that, aside what we already knew was going to be marketable, like mounts, pet and forge, there should definitely be a market for the trinket, considering that costs close to nothing, it's a 450 item and can be personalised, and maybe even the flame thrower on top.

I must admit though that I don't see much usage in the Dragon Gun...

[Holyblaze]

haha Manns! I telling you man...there wer over 2g the day beofre, but I AH min 2x a day. Now that I have some gold banked, I can jump on oppertunities of that nature. feels great cause I know that I WILL be making bank from that.

haha just this morning Manns, someone dumped 500 cloth for less than 80s each when the next highest was 10g each. Yeah...I ganked and reposted. Not even going to bother with crafting that into an item for hopes of profit. haha HUGE margins already there. FOR ALMOST ZERO EFFORT!

[halabar]

Hmm... might have to stock up again on gnomish army pocket knifes too...

[Holyblaze]

OH SNAP! So simple and awesome! I so forgot that all my toons have them!

[halabar]

Will be interesting to see if the panic and dumping starts tomorrow when not all the changes people were expecting hit the market.
