Yes, but I'm playing Horde on a medium population server.

I guess I could vendor the bags I make, but it is actually more profitable just selling the cloth and wool in the AH. However, that does not up my skill any, so I am forced to take a money hit just to up my skill (wouldn't mind if I had a gathering skill to complement, but I don't). Enchanting so far has been a pain. I've been trying to find good recipes around, but can't even find minor beastslaying in drops or AH. Let's face it, in any of the "crafting" professions (I'll put enchanting here, since you are technically outputting a usable product in the form of enchantments), it is not the stuff you train that sells well for you. Anyone with that much skill can make it, and end up flooding the market. It's the rarer dropped recipes that make you cash with your skill. Not finding many recipes = not too much profit. Thothbot lies like a rug. I've killed every savannah prowler in the barrens (per thothbot, a 12.5% chance of dropping minor beastslaying) for over 4 hours of grinding, and not a single recipe of any kind. Oh well, that's life.

I've been thinking about it, and it might be worth my while to try to ply my trade in Thunder Bluff. None of the tauren PCs have a class that uses cloth (so tailoring will be very rare) and very rare to find enchanters as well. Might have better luck there (Orgrimmar and Durotar in general are overpopulated with vendors, and the undead players lean heavily towards casting classes). Just have to grind Fenris all day before I go.
