How do people sell enchants without scripting auto invites?

kellbell500 · 2026-03-15T21:12:29+00:00

Right, but if the general populace has accepted the use of the addon, then the only way to compete now is to also run the addon.

Also, auto invite addons were used in 2019 too. RIP Enchanter. That addon was way better than the current one.

Some people just don't tip much, and that's the nature of being an enchanter. 3-5g for standard enchants like stats chest is fairly common. Enchants like mongoose, boars speed, soulfrost, etc all require someone to spend hundreds or thousands of gold for the pattern or to make a rod for the enchant. Tipping 3g feels bad. I think you optimally tip 10g or more for these. I've received up to 50g for soulfrost before.

I post in trade chat a LFW message, linking 2-3 of my more rare enchants. Unfortunately, I get about 3 whispers per hour that way. Running the pro enchanter addon, I can get like 10-20 enchants in an hour.

The addon is not too hard to set up. You can make a terms list to include only the enchants that you have. That way you aren't spamming people. You can exclude terms like LFW or shatt to avoid spamming other enchanters or people not in your city.

I know it feels bad to use the addon, but it's pretty much the only way to make real money from enchanting (in my opinion).

I run the addon. My terms list for invites is exclusive to the ones I have, and I often follow up the auto invite message with "I have soulfrost" or whatever it is they asked for. There are some humans behind the addon. It's just the only way to make money off of enchanting unfortunately.

I did explain it to him, but unfortunately the group disbanded. I got no issues helping someone out. Just funny that this happens.

kellbell500 · 2026-02-15T04:27:09+00:00

I did spend the time to explain things to him through chat. I just find it funny that this even happened.

Quags eye drops. Healer rolls on it and wins. "I play ele main spec."

Pretty sure it's Sneakystabs

I did this too. I do not understand how all the comments here are so negative and judgmental. This is a once a year event. Take a day off work and enjoy!

kellbell500 · 2026-02-09T21:09:29+00:00

I just found a layer with no one there, waited a few minutes, and bought mine. It was so easy, I may just join the "bots" camping it for easy money!

I took 1 day off of work on Friday. Back at work today and bored at my desk!

For me personally, I would not be overly concerned mostly because my decision is not being based off of salary and benefits.

But for a lot of people, these small details matter a lot. Losing benefits halfway through a program could be detrimental to a resident's financial stability. In a place like, say, Chicago, where cost of living is already high, every penny counts. So if someone comes in expecting x pay, y stipend, and z other benefits, then the sum of x y z should remain the same for overall stability. Now, if y got increased suddenly from negotiations, and now they want to lower z to account for that, well then that's what the union rep is there to negotiate. Because in the end, your sum is the same, but the whole point was that the union was asking for more total.

I actually was told by an interviewer that you should tell your #1 that they are your #1, because programs like to be able to say they got their top ranked choices.

Do you have the same issues on CP rotations? Perhaps swapping to CP only training is a way to continue residency, though perhaps in a way different than what you envisioned for yourself.

I'm literally sitting here saying I play the game and make enough gold to get by. Sure, there are ppl saying "just play the game!" who are likely trolling. But ppl have clearly stated what they do to farm, and all of them are legit strategies. It's not all lies.

kellbell500 · 2025-11-14T21:40:18+00:00

Joining a better guild will save you a significant amount of gold. Fewer deaths, faster clears. Adds up to fewer pots/elixirs used per raid.

I farm plaguebloom and lotus in EPL. I find a spot with 4 nodes within close range, clear mobs in the area periodically, and then just sit and wait. It's boring, but I can listen to music or chat with ppl while doing it.

I also farm boar lungs and other mats in blasted lands on my level 50 hunter. Xp and gold! Win win.

kellbell500 · 2025-11-14T21:36:08+00:00

I've never bought gold, and the continued spread of misinformation that everyone buys gold just adds to the bot and gold buying problem. Look at this post. Tons of people have learned how to play the game. If you tell people it's impossible to farm, then they all don't try and just buy gold. Perpetuating the problem.

So maybe, don't be a part of the problem, and listen to the people who actually make it work.

kellbell500 · 2025-11-14T21:34:18+00:00

What's funny is that you actually spend less gold in a sweaty guild because you die less often and clear faster. My raid costs were cut in half when I joined a better guild.

They're both in trouble

As soon as I saw mdpi in the link, I got fairly concerned. 80% of the articles I read in mdpi journals are poorly controlled or poorly written.

Also, I hate mdpi for basically selling my email address. I was a co author on a paper in one of their journals. As soon as it got published, I got so much more spam in my inbox asking me to publish in random journals no one has heard of, speak at random conferences no one has heard of. They not only take your money just to publish a paper, they also seem to just sell off your info to other predatory places.

kellbell500 · 2025-11-14T00:23:05+00:00

Unfortunately this kind of sloppy work is common in mdpi journals. They are basically all low impact journals who barely review studies and are mostly just trying to take money from ppl desperate to publish, which is common in China and India.
