New ones are occasionally still getting put up. Once I saw the price start to rise I decided to buy a few more and did managed to get some, but, it took around half an hour or so of trying. Learned that it's actually possibly to lose out to someone else even after your gold is taken (it gets mailed back to you, but still, pretty weird).
But yeah, we're at the bottom of the barrel right now it seems.

Sure, about 40k on my main, about 20k on my primary alt, but that's symptomatic of being a casual player because I have a scarcity of time. I'm more likely to sell tokens for gold given I have much more USD than time for such pursuits, but personally I don't really like the incentivizations that creates in the marketplace, so I probably won't participate (the same reason I don't buy mounts with USD, even if I could afford it).
Been healing holy on my shadow priest main lately to try to get fast queues to round out my remaining non-BRF item, weapon. <3 Divine Hymn. Still no drops sadly.

I have 40k+ on my Draenei Paladin at the moment. So about 1 token and change left over.
Whew, 5/10 in Mythic now. Once we got the first one down the rest have been falling pretty fast. Though I suspect that's about to slow down since we're now staring at Kromog and the only non end boss left is the train boss.
Yeah, I got 235k so I'll probably buy a few when they come available on EU but I doubt I'll go much below 200k.

While that's not impossible, it seems a bit tinfoil-y, and I'm not sure what the advantage of doing so is. There are other explanations as to why, but we won't know much until well after the fact to view these movements long-term as trends.

I don't think that is a very good policy from a service stand point. Also, the wowtoken info site was saying <30 min to sell

I've got ~80k on my mage and a little over 100k on my paladin, and a bit under or over 5-8k gold on my other 6-7 lvl 90 alts. and don't even want to buy game tokens.Just saving gold to maybe buy expensive mounts. Is something wrong with me?
I'm on the other side. I have a lot of fancy mounts I would sell instantly if I could in exchange for game time.

Well, the automate market takes care of it. I don't think blizzard is manually doing anything. I think they are basically using the same formula/function from the diablo auction house for gold.
Demand is pretty high right now to buy since everyone figures it'll just keep raising over time.
To sell, will depend what there is to actually spend gold on in the game. Chronically poor people in wow basically have never bought anything and can now be in the market for some stuff.
But there'll still be chronically poor who won't buy gold.
As far as the supply/demand curve you only really need to see the price influxes. That's basically the curve.

Nope. I represent a third faction, those torn between game time tokens and fancy mounts.
The fourth faction are those with near-limitless piles of gold and untold numbers of the mounts in question, for whom this is a trivial discussion.

I don't get why people always list gold like this. You have 60k gold, it's not like you can't send it across characters, even if they're on different servers now it takes no time at all to move it from server to server.

They sold gold on the auction house, too, in a similar fashion. Eventually it became 25 cents to buy a million gold, etc. you are going in a roundabout way in wow, but it is still essentially 20 bucks = ? Gold. In diablo it was 1 mil gold (or whatever the number was) = ? Dollars. It is a lot more stable the way wow is doing it, but it is essentially an inverse of what diablo did for gold selling. Not talking about items at all.
Sure, but that is probably just going to be kept secret since you can influence and/or manipulate the economy with that information since there isn't necessarily the same protections a normal financial market would have.
Is there another way to do this without server transferring or buying -- and then slowly selling -- high-end pets?

Vendor mounts no question.
Gross, what am I some sort of plebeian? I don't even know where the transmog people are located in Draenor because I use my own transmog mount, I can't reach the transmog NPC from atop my yak and I won't bring myself down to that level to do so.
In terms of looks my favorite mounts might honestly be the Direhorn, they are mother fucking triceratops. I'm not even that big of a dinosaur person but triceratops are cool, especially when they appear to be made of stone.
Bah, excuse me for being cheap.

I'm too cheap for vendor yak. Vendor mammoth all the way.
I usually ride around on one of my glorious tigers (ZG or Swift Spectral), though I would dearly like Invincible. Sometimes I rock the Iron Juggernaut too, but it can be a bit obnoxious and has collision troubles in certain areas.
As for flying mounts, I usually go for a CM phoenix or transform into Sandstone Drake.
Though I might buy one sooner or later.

Mounts are so boring. They were interesting years ago when there weren't hundreds of them. Now I couldn't care less about which one I use or could get by doing X.
The same is happening now with battle pets for me. It's a shame they were the last significant thing added to the game.

My favourite flying mount that I have is probably Mimiron's Head. The one I want the most that I don't have is the Astral cloud serpent.
Favourite ground mount I have is probably the cobalt direhorn from Oondasta. The one I want the most (that I'll never ever get) is the ZG tiger.

Usefulness: Vendor Mounts without a doubt. They pay for themselves after a while.
Looks: Hmm...hard to say.
I'll just list what I liked.
-Ground: Raven Lord, Blue Shado-Pan Riding Tiger, Armani War Bear, ZG Tiger, Spectral Tiger
-Flying: Grand Armored Wyvern (small profile, looks good), Icebound Frostbrood Vanquisher (good DK-style mount), Armored Skyscreamer (very unique; plus it's a goddamn Pterodactyl), Firehawks, Dread Raven
I really liked using the Grand Armored Wyvern and Skyscreamer on my Hunter.
Icebound Frostbrood Vanquisher is an awesome mount (especially if you're a DK).

usefulness: Azure Water Strider has had that crown for the last several years.
looks: Flying Mount - Onyxian Drake; Ground Mount - Fiery Warhorse.

Mostly just pointless. The garrison mine and herb garden can cover the general needs of most people. Ore and herbs do still sell they are just incredibly cheap, on my server most herbs and blackrock ore is ~1g per herb/ore and true iron ore is like 1g 50s per ore. Not very much gold for how much time you have to spend farming them, especially considering you can't fly anymore so it's more time consuming just in gathering.

Hmm, just seemed handy after watching this video

Double mats etc,
might change to a creating profession like blacksmithing or alchemy
Can you get ores from garrison to level from 1? or is it just for wod recipes?
it is just the daenor ores but you can use them to level blacksmithing from 1, also having a garrison resource generating building for your first medium building is a good idea
Lashley

Changed Mining to Inscription. Next I want Enchanting or JC.
Also, I chose Inn and Enchanters Study for my buildings. I have the mine unlocked though, is that what you mean? Im still a massive noob, sorry.
there are two medium buildings, trading post and lumber mill that let you make work orders that give garrison resources, trading post takes a different crafting mat each day and the lumber mill takes lumber from trees you can chop down around draenor.
A garrison resource generating building is something like the trading post or the lumber mill. What a lot of people have forgotten by now is that early on you will have horrible garrison resource problems. The level 3 garrison costs 2000 resources which you are not likely to have by level 100 unless you don't play very much. Upgrading all your buildings to level 3 will also take a lot of resources.
They are very useful buildings in the begining but lose their usefulness as time goes on. The trading post has other uses but the lumber mill has a very short useful life.
That video was posted before the expansion even came out, I don't think that guy was very good at predicting what would happen on live servers. The thing is since crafting professions are time gated a level 3 mine and herb garden blow past the pitifully small number of herb/ore you need in the "cross over." Alchemy for example takes 10 blackrock ore per day, you get probably 100 or so a day from a level 3 garrison mine.
I have every single profession at max and run them all and 1 single herb garden covers all of my herb needs. Non-alch/inscription professions don't need that many herbs as mentioned above and a max level alchemist doesn't have much use for herbs either if we're being honest. Most of my herbs go to inscription but I still always have more than I can use at any given time.
Ore is the only time you will run into trouble, if you have an engineer, blacksmith, and JC a single mine can not produce enough ore for your daily needs, but, given that implies you have multiple characters it means you have access to more than 1 mine, so problem solved.

Just don't worry about it for now, getting to level 100 and getting a level 3 garrison should be your main goal. Level 3 garrison gives you extra building plots.
Salvage yard isn't even that useful until you get a level 3 one which is not possible until you get a level 3 garrison.
The big Darkmoon race with the slow strider is the hardest thing I've ever done in WoW. Had to glitch my way up a mountain and wait until the RNG of where the enemies were and what the powerups were lined up to a good run, and then I got to the goal with maybe a second to spare.
And then the achievement item has 50 charges and is worthless. What?

Ah okay, Enchanters Study has been helpful for disenchanting my soulbound outdated armor in my bags, should I use that to put a work order in or keep the dust?
Profs are Inscription and JC.
If you don't have enchanting dust is pointless for you. Either sell it on the AH or do the work orders and sell the crystals you get from it. No idea which of the 2 is worth more, you'd have to check your AH.
Lashley
Why does he wear the mask!?
The dust is worth more on my server
I mean I'd say the salvage yard is the most useful building, it turns XP only follower missions into something that usually rewards 20-40g at a minimum and can obviously reward far more if RNG is on your side.
Problem is you don't start getting good stuff from it until it is level 3 which you can't even get until your garrison is level 3.

I mainly want my garrison(s) to provide good amounts of gold as well as make my professions easier to make....more amounts of gold
All you need for that is the salvage yard, your profession building and your inn, and even then only long enough to have a decent stable of treasure hunter followers. 3 of those on a 200g mission is 800g.
Lashley

Oh, excellent
Made an enchanting building to disenchant loot but my profs are inscription and JC, should I remove and get buildings for those?

If you are going to actually stick with JC/inscription your small buildings should be the salvage yard and your 2 profession buildings. The way crafting professions are structured this expansion make them utterly useless if you don't have their corresponding garrison building.
The enchanting building is a nice quality of life thing, but, you can pretty easily open the LFG tool and find someone who has one in their own garrison and use theirs.
