how is economy only important for those who want to min max? flying mounts, mounts, riding skill, food for healing, etc etc. economy is a vital part of the game no matter what way you look at it.
yet again im saying that rdf and spamming dungeons at high rates is unhealthy for the community, and is not the way the game is meant to be played, especially for vanilla.
what is fun for you is not fun for me and the opposite, but that is besides the point, i am saying that objectively looking the high level rates hurt the community and the game in the long run (as shown in lordaeron vs icecrown community, no offense)
