No real update. Glyphs suck; I've moved my threshold progressively higher and I'm listing fewer and fewer of them. (It's north of 6g per glyph now and occasionally I'll go to list and QA will put up fewer than 10. C'est la vie.)
I've been turning a profit on my GDKP runs so that's good, but I'm sure it's annoying since I'm doing relatively low dps. I'd be fine with not securing an invitation in the future; I'm so ready to just sit back and wait for the cataclysm to hit. I'm not even doing the weekly raid quests unless I'm completely bored; it still feels like grinding for those primordial saronites.
Still, this weekend I am planning to revisit some old content, maybe snag a mount or two, and push toward a quarter million gold.

200K in the bank
We're in full liquidation mode here, minus purchasing cheap herbs and saronite whenever we get a chance. Next stop: gold cap (again).

185K in the guild bank
Would be a ton more if I wasn't buying all these mats. Also I went on the worst GDKP run of all time ... four bosses downed in ICC25. Two wipes on Festergut and the called it. Thank you very much, huntard doing 2800 dps with a 30% zone buff and full raid buffs.
Still, it grossed me 1000g and I increased my Ashen Verdict rep, so I'm not complaining.

Shifting into gold-making mode
I made a deposit today that put my GB tally back up to 180,000 gold. Sadly I slacked a bit on getting in to work this morning so I had to skip the GDKP raid on our server -- but I've mostly talked myself out of the need for gear, and thus, spending gold on the acquisition of said gear. Sometimes the key to putting more gold in the bank is making sure you don't take any out.
If you look at my last few posts, what you'll realize is that this tally (180K) is exactly where I was two weeks ago. The reason for this is that I paid 20K to go along with a guild on their Lich King kill. We downed Sindragosa to get me to 11/12 in the Citadel, then went on for three(!) nights of wipes of various lengths to down Arthas. Finally, I wound up with my Kingslayer title (and an embarassingly small dps tally) and now I consider my "work" in WOTLK complete. Halion? Why bother? Who cares?
So, what to do now that I'm "done" with WOTLK? Why, go full-bore into gold-making mode. There are still plenty of people who aren't done; the Lich King hasn't fallen for everyone, there are Shadowmournes to be made, and there are even just people who haven't read about the massive gear and stats overhaul headed our way with the Cataclysm.
So, my in-game activities are generally focused on filling my bank vaults for Cataclysm. My general activity has consisted of doing the weekly raid quests for Frost emblems so I can buy Primordial Saronite and doing Wintergrasp for honor and the resultant epic gems. Other than that, it's buying mats and making cash. I can't keep Titansteel in stock, glyphs are moving well, and at some point I swear I'm going to figure out enchanting.
So, off to the Gold Cap again. We shall see it soon!

180K in my guild bank
Enchanting scrolls aren't as profitable as I'd hoped. However, I've seized control of glyphs for the moment. Laissez les bons temps rouler.

170K in the bank
What can I say, sales are brisk. Glyphs are good when I can make a sale; we have a full-time camper on the server now and it looks like myself and one other seller are trying to maneuver around his/her three posting alts. A couple days' worth of 4g undercuts will take the profit right back out of the profession. Sigh.
I'm hoping this will be "150K in the bank" some time in the next few days. A guild is currently offering 10-man Kingslayer for 20K. Considering I've made 10,000g since Thursday, I don't think that's such a bad price to pay. At least I can be done worrying about getting the stupid thing done.
I have events on my usual raid days this week so I'll be missing out on 25-man action. But next weekend I'm going to try to be judicious about my purchases but join in a 25-man GDKP run. There are a few pieces that would capture my attention: the neck and/or ring off of heroic Gunship, a more nicely-itemized cape off of Dreamwalker, the Dislodged Foreign Object from Rotface (which will probably end up costing more than I'm willing to spend), and of course a pair of Sanctified tokens (the objects of my greatest desire, honestly). Of course I will probably be unable to square the concepts of bidding a lot of money now for 25-man loot with the knowledge that there will be iLvl 346 craftables right off the bat in Cataclysm. The goal will be to get some upgrades (it's been forever!) and try to make most of the money back off of my share of the pot and the Primordial Saronite.
Once I get my Lich King kill, my warlock will essentially be an inscription bot and will likely only show up for Tuesday raid nights. The focus will be my shaman and getting as much profit out of late Patch 3.3.5 enchanting as possible.
