Is this a intended way to grind gold?
6786... Wow.
Crafting was intended to be profitable, and it was considered that some players would use it as a way to earn money alongside farming. However, it was assumed that it would be too tedious and time-consuming to feel like free money.
Did you earn this by selling hide jackets? How long did it take you? Would you still do this if the crafting window closed after each successful craft, and to earn 1000 gold you had to not only run to the merchant, but also open the crafting window 100 times?
