The way WOTLK is designed its quite easy to survive without having to actively farm gold too much, and there are more options for farming spots. But in TBC there are less viable farming spots and each player needs to farm more often.
How are the devs going to handle farm spots being oversaturated almost all the time? Considering the server population is going to be higher than a retail server's population back then.
If it appears to be a huge problem they can simply reduce the respawn rates of herbs, mining nodes etc.Quote:

i wish if they plan to do that they give us some information how the second server will be. It would suck to invest in Outland just so one-two months later another server is announced that you would like better..Quote:

@Thread; We would honestly prefer materials to be plentiful rather than scarce. Ideally, a balance is what we aim for, but we don't want things to be too scarce. That would be pretty problematic, as I'm sure you can imagine. The key to that is to making farming locations more spread. For example, any WoW player who has played TBC to any real degree knows that the best place to farm elementals is on the plateau above the Throne of the Elements. But there are also other lesser known areas where those such materials can be farmed, like Netherstorm is pretty good for mana while Shadowmoon Valley is pretty good for fire.
We will do our best to keep the server and economy balanced. When the time comes and you can provide feedback, we will be listening and happy to take that into consideration when it comes to such proper balancing.

What makes you think that there will be an X amount of players in the first place though?
How many players you think there will be potatoe?Quote:

I got absolutely no idea and couldnt even guess, so im wondering how others come to the conclusions that they come toQuote:
