Do you remember the old song 'who wants to be a millionaire?' In that song the singer lamented that he didn't want to be a millionaire because he just wanted to be with the person of his affection.
Perhaps today that old songwriter would be asking the question who wants to be a World of Warcraft millionaire. I think a lot of World of Warcraft players would be answering that one with, 'I do.'
The problem is that it's hard enough to get enough gold in World of Warcraft just for the day to day activities of the game, let alone being able to save enough to be a World of Warcraft millionaire. Spell upgrades, talent respecs, equipment repairs, and buying consumables all burn through enough gold to keep the average player poor.
A lot of players go through their Warcraft career as virtual pauper's. They never have the best weapons, the best armour. Just buying the healing and mana potions that they need for day to day adventuring is beyond them. There are some players who are never able to afford their epic mount.
