That's right, I have an auction boy. He's making me money RIGHT NOW.
I've been mentioning on and off that my new game inside WoW is playing the glyph market. I switched over to Quick Auctions for batch posting and did the 1c undercuts and turned a nice profit.

I've purchased my chopper and my vendor mammoth, and am almost up to my next 10k gold.

I've taken WoW breaks in the past, but usually they're self-initiated or self-enforced. I tend to get grumpy when I'm forced not to play. This time has been a little bit different, because I've been able to log in and do my auctions, say hi to Mal and Sil, do a few chants, etc and a half hour here and there to mess around.

My raid superpower is multitasking.
