The original post:

I mean, people buy mats that cost around 150-200 gold, and they said they are screwed up when the Enhanter ask for a five gold tip…

I don’t know about the enchanting racket on other realms, but on my realm it’s like organized crime.

The mats alone off the AH are 436 gold, average, x 2 (thx rogue) = 872 gold.

They want to know why we’re not more generous with tips? Because they’re already into me for 800+ gold from the materials I just bought via their auctions.

P.S. Yes, I know enchanting is expensive to level.
Yes, my guild’s enchanters do our enchants for free, no tipping allowed.
Yes, I do tip non-guild enchanters, but I grumble to myself and dream of the day when I can pickpocket player characters. Wouldn’t that be a great bug? I’d never log off.
Yes, my server is outrageous with pricing.
No, none of that makes me feel better.
