Track relationships, not guesses
Before launch, the useful economic question is not “what is one gold worth?” but how supply, demand and player activity connect.
Watch these relationships
- Gathering materials → crafting recipes.
- Dungeon and raid loot → equipment demand.
- Consumables → raid and PvP preparation.
- Questing and farming routes → material supply.
- Profession specialization → potential supply constraints.
Use dated observations
Beta markets can be distorted by testing behavior, limited populations and changing systems. AzerothMarket should publish live prices only when directly sourced and time-stamped, rather than presenting estimates as facts.
