Hayden's Gold Guide makes the claim that anyone can farm as much as 600g in an hour. I wanted to find out if this was for real so I used PayPal to buy the product. First I'll mention the checkout process was very friendly and I was promptly taken to a download area which gave access to 8 different guides ranging from professions, dual boxing and the gold guide itself. I've purchased several other similar guides and have been pretty disappointed when all I got was a chintzy gold guide (mind you, this one is far from chintzy, but we'll get to that in a minute.)
What it claims to be
- Make up to 600g an hour.
- 100% Legal with no cheats.
- How to master the Auction House.
- Every piece of information up to date.
- Loaded with detailed maps.
- Easy to navigate and find information.
- and more...
I'll start with the 600 gold an hour. This is easily obtainable using an auction character using some of the tricks she shares in her auction house chapter. I'd LOVE to share them but that just wouldn't be fair, plus I like doing the things I do with my auction character and really enjoying 3-4 pages of profits in my mailbox every morning. She also shares other ways to make this much gold without playing the Auction House.
There is absolutely nothing illegal or even questionable in her guide, you don't have to risk being banned, suspended or even questioned. Alright, you might get questioned by a GM, I'm not sure if GMs actually flag players with hundreds of thousands of gold on their character. I haven't been questioned yet but I'm only holding 45,000 gold on my character now, I recently purchased a Mekgineer's Chopper and Traveler's Tundra Mammoth (I'm going to get another Mammoth for my warrior alt next - he'll get one at level 60).
Hayden's guide also includes tons of detailed maps with farming locations, mining routes, herbalism paths and they are all organized to be extremely easy to find exactly what you're looking for. The auction house section is actually loaded with tons of her tricks and tips, including a really great section on using Auctionator to make gold.
What's this package includes: When I purchased the guide I actually received 8 different guiles, some of which sell for more than $30 alone. Each one is professionally packaged, delivered and updated. I'll be honest, at first I thought I accidentally had access to more than I thought I was supposed to get, but after reading her website, I realized the 7 extra guides were what she calls 'bonus material' that she gives away for free during promotional offers (hopefully this is still going on).
What's it cost? I'm not sure if you can put a value on the time you play World of Warcraft and how much fun you have playing it, but it cost me only $57. Which would otherwise get me about 6,000 gold from a gold farming service which would likely lead to a permanent suspension. I've never actually bought gold from one, but I've known 2 people who had their accounts suspended, and 1 who had it suspended indefinitely. In the first week I made way more than 6,000 gold, so it actually paid for itself in the first week!
