This is definitly an advantage to be able to pay like 50g / <insert craft material here> instead of farming them once you find out a certain encounter needs special gear which requires 100 <insert craft material here>. Its the ability to >just go< to the AH and get what you need because you had the monopoly on highly desired items for a certain amount of time which resulted in a high amount of gold flowing into your guilds war chest.

PS: This is not about bragging, showing of or whatever. Its showing real market situations on some servers for guilds being ahead of the "pack".

PPS: Uhm and yes, this is heading out of topic.

So on your server you could do this. On my server maybe 1 guild benefitted from this. And no offense, who cares? It's nice for you, sure.

But it's hardly slightly relevant and it's pretty safe to include Blizzard is not realy worrying about someone's ability to sell BT/Hyjal/SSC/TK craftables to fill their war chests. The vast majority of us go get our own gold from questing and such. It's not clear to me why you shouldn't have to also.

But the thing worth reiterating here is that the addition of badge loot and its effect on tiny numbers of guilds selling craftable BT items after they used up all their hearts for SR gear and for the gear they want in guild is just so unimportant to the game there is no way it was a consideration. "Hey, Tigole, should we add this badge loot? I mean UberLeetGuild is gonna have a tougher time gouging people for 400-500g per Heart of Darkness."

It's when people raise this as a concern at all that I'm reminded why this forum is truer in name that it appears even at first.
