To Shuffle or Not to Shuffle? - The War Within Goldmaking 

I can’t trust a Goblin telling me I don’t need to shuffle, when we all know he’s shuffling. 😆

i think I'm going to double gather for a few days, sell everything to the super sweaty goblins then go crafting specs so I guess i can do a tiny shuffle.

Manthieus around 9 minutes in the video: leave all the gold for me

gold is fun, therefore everyday I'm shuffling **beat starts*

Goblins will do goblin things, but do you need to do this to be able to make great gold? absolutely not. I think that's what a lot of people are missing when trying to decide on whether or not they want to do this

I don’t think it’s a big deal. I didn’t shuffle in DF and I made several million.

Blizzard should've nerfed this. Either by making acuity profession specific, or getting rid of first craft bonuses entirely and/or by making the sole source the weekly mettle quest equivalent from DF. Getting ahead gives you a week+ lead that is nearly impossible to overcome. Folks have to either do the shuffle themselves, hope the shufflers go on vacation, or catch up after shuffler's are maxed and cannot progress further. Frankly, I think it ruins the fun. It would be the equivalent of one guild having access to an extra week of heroic farm in the RTWF. Sure we all catch up in the end, but the start is the fun part. This is the second xpac with the same issue - which is why it is extra disappointing.

Jokes on me, i'm too poor to even try shuffling!! Problem solved 😂

Yeah feeling like you have to shuffle has a dirty element to it. It is a huge JOB to manage all these alts. Not realistic for most people.

I thoroughly enjoy your videos Manthieus. But, I agree with the other post…a wildly rich goblin down playing is so funny. If I had your gold I’d sit back too. Willing to be adopted lol though I am significantly older than you lol. Anyhow keep up the great work.

the prepatch event was an alt factory, i feel like they lost out on so many potential character boosts.

I hope they remove the ability to profession shuffle 🤷‍♂

are there any spreadsheets, etc. that help with tracking all the AA from shuffle ? (only seen the WA for the gathering ones)

wait, creating tools on an alt character to send them to the main was nerfed? I was going to apply your strategy on release... it would have been nice to have a video just to warn of that, I would have been disgusted to find out about it when I was about to do it... thank goodness I watched that video!

Ty Manthieus and ty for your handy guide, so easy to use. 😊 I will be having fun, I will be crafting and I have popcorn to watch mat prices going through the roof as the mega goblins go on their PvP warpath to obtain acuity and deny it to each other by resetting the market 😂. Fortunes will be gained but a few will be lost too 😂. This profession shuffle exists since vanilla, with people farming mats before switching to crafts so they had extra mats, extra cash since questing is in world content anyway. "Acuity" has made it more specific and acuite indeed but same principle. Spare a thought for those with tons of alts... 😂 gamers will find the most efficient way, it's a mindset. No different than people using 2 accounts, speed runs, BIS, grouping to level faster, using addons, speed gear and what not. 🐢 me will still find niches that are "not profitable enough" and will leave me with modest but stable returns with less 🐇 competition.

The shuffle just kinda makes it so ppl without enough gold to throw at it are limited to how much gold they can actually make. Imo nothing wrong with making a mechanic that makes it so you can turbo grind to get ahead of ppl, nothing wrong with that. Locking that same mechanic behind a shitload of gold is where the issue lies. It advocates a rich get richer scheme which makes it hard for newcomers to enter the playing field.

To Goblin or not to Goblin

love your effort in making these videos for us, but please stop with the 6mins extra rant that is no good other than getting more ads in.

Is there anywhere I can find how to do the "modest" shuffle?

Sadly I am going to join on late access ... GL and have fun :D

You only get 1 AA per first time craft down from 5 in DF right?

i dont like having fun... lol

Hey I had a question. I primarily PvP , never picked up professions and as a family man I don’t have much time to play but want to be able to make enough gold for enchants/gems/gear . Do you recommendation for 2 professions ? Thanks in advance

Coming from WoW Classic, are there any BoP profession bonuses for raid/M+? Or do work orders mean you can pick whatever on your main

I’m pretty disappointed this was left in. But I’m more disappointed I have the busiest 2 weeks of my year at work rn lol.

Alt army incoming

Nah but thats sweaty as fuck is it worth it yea maybe but what did it cost ?

Can someone link the nerf, mentioned in video? 5:23

le jeu dégénéré commence

looks like a exploit to me imo.
