What my data showed was that the trainer bottleneck glyphs have been priced so low over the last 16 months, that I haven't sold many. There's no reason that won't continue to be the case in MoP. So on that basis, stockpiling by previous sales does have some merit.<br /><br />What you're talking about with the changes in sales, absolutely. Different glyphs will be more or less popular. Classes will be more or less popular (i.e., we may not have a freaking glut of paladins (I can dream, right? (says me who just got their paladin to 85))).<br /><br />So on particular glyphs being more or less popular, there's really no way to determine what impact that will have. For every glyph I think is worthless, someone else will love. For every alt that I only buy the glyphs I know I'm going to use, there's 10 completionists out there that will be every glyph no matter what and not care that they don't use many of them. They will be able to sleep at night though, because their character is <i>educated</i>. So analysis from that angle is largely a guessing game, so I just assume they are more or less equal.<br /><br />The other thing to consider is that if you are stockpiling ink, you don't have to worry about what glyphs are most popular specifically. You just know that previously, Book of Glyph Mastery glyphs sold well, and for a great profit, and the sales were roughly in these ratios of inks. If there's a standout glyph, you can just use your ink reserves to make more of those, and less of the 'dud' glyphs.<br /><br />What I consider when pre-crafting my glyphs is 'what time frame am I stockpiling for?'. Basically I want to go for as long as possible (a month maybe?) after the expansion without crafting another glyph. More importantly though, I don't care if I don't make a [Glyph of the Awesomesauce] for the rest of the expansion. MoP herbs aren't going to be any cheaper than Cata herbs right now... so if I make 40+ of a particular glyph and it takes all expansion to sell them, that's fine with me.<br /><br />The best thing about putting this all down in writing of course, is that when MoP hits, no matter how it goes, I'll have something to write about ;)Twitchiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02391189902558554974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116440969257295826.post-21791719643785599482012-07-27T21:44:10.513+10:002012-07-27T21:44:10.513+10:00Sorry for the misunderstanding twitchie, I directe...Sorry for the misunderstanding twitchie, I directed my comment only at the person who made the last comment and not at your post. Even then I should have explained my comment. Simply, I don't believe cata sales will be much representetive of the possible distribution in MOP given all the changes and specially blizz'es desire to move away from cookie cutter specs. And I did read your whole post as I always do because there is always something to learn even after 7 years playing this game. And I respect you more for explaining (very succintly I should say)to Sapu and them (at the consortium) the issue with transmog and TSM. I added the last bit to let you know that I know what you are taliking about :) These are all IMHO only.Iammoneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01154831812205799322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116440969257295826.post-3579665957990660472012-07-27T10:19:13.191+10:002012-07-27T10:19:13.191+10:00@Iammoney
If you think I'm stockpiling based...@Iammoney <br /><br />If you think I'm stockpiling based on sales distribution in Cata, you didn't read my whole post. The last paragraph shows I'm stockpling glyphs across the board (although I still thinking stockpiling trainer learned, inscription leveling bottleneck glyphs is a bad idea).<br /><br />In my opinion, it's not all that humble to say a strategy is wrong without saying why or offering what you think is 'doing it right'.Twitchiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02391189902558554974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8116440969257295826.post-89574344808876573102012-07-27T10:06:49.551+10:002012-07-27T10:06:49.551+10:00If you are stocking inks by the sales distribution...If you are stocking inks by the sales distribution in Cata...
