Why Does a Player Need World of Warcraft Gold?
WoW Gold Is Still Helpful for Both PVE raiders and PVP players

As a player slowly gets to level 80,, the currency of choice is not gold but other tokens. Tokens such as champion's seals, emblem of heroism, emblem of valor, battleground tokens, honor, and arena points replace gold as the most desired currency in the game to get new gear and otherwise get ahead.
It is very rare to find gear in the auction house for gold that is viable for anything other than being disenchanted for mats. But to ignore the need for WoW gold is folly for World of Warcraft players.
Epic Flying Mounts
If a player is missing mounts from earlier levels due to lack of cash, they need to be purchased as soon as possible at level 80. The epic flying mount at level 70 costs 5200 gold. The cold weather flying skill costs 1000 gold to purchase.
For somebody who never spent time at level 70 during the Burning Crusade expansion, making enough gold to get the flying mounts while levelling can be daunting. Not having these mounts will seriously crimp a player's ability to travel and make cash in Northrend.
WoW Food and Mats
Buffs can be gained from food in almost every place in WoW. But unless the player wants to spend a lot of time gathering meat and levelling cooking, it is best to buy food from the auction house instead. For those who are raiding, most guilds require the player to carry sufficient amounts of food with buffs so that it can last for 3-4 hours and a few wipes.
Mats to create items such as bombs are not free. Just like food, they need to be gathered or bought from the auction house. If enchanting mats are needed, mats have to be gathered or bought as well. The list of possible mats goes on and on.
Making WoW Gold
Hopefully, the player has chosen to level two primary professions that are conducive to making money. But even if the player never adequately levelled two primary professions, the game provides players with lots of daily cash quests to be rewarded with cash rather than experience. Since players cannot gain experience upon reaching level 80, the compensation for completing daily quests is cash.
Do as many cash dailies as possible that are in close proximity with each other. If any of the dailies have a gathering component, make sure there is a 50% drop rate or higher for the components needed. Don't travel halfway across the continent just to do one daily. Do only those that are nearby.
For some classes that have the ability to AOE such as paladin, there can be a lot of money made from farming lower level instances such as Stratholme and farming some mobs in general. If needed, create another DPS alt on the World of Warcraft account whose only purpose is to farm older instances and mobs.
It is easy to make World of Warcraft gold, but it is not easy to earn cash quickly.
If a player needs 2000 gold within 24 hours, the player is usually out of luck. There is no almost legal method of getting that much WoW money in such a short time. Because of this, it is important for players to spend some time making money every day to avoid this type of situation. World of Warcraft does not have a lending institution or loan shark.
