August 2013 Gold Blogging Carnival Topic

This month's topic was inspired by Profitz of  Wowprofitz.com.

Since hitting gold cap, I've been just cruising along, still doing my normal gold making routine and lately I've been feeling a little burnt out.  A few days ago on twitter, Profitz asked, "What keeps you playing WoW?"   I instantly thought I could add a gold making spin to his question and make it this months carnival topic, which in turn inspired some deeper thinking.  What is it that keeps me going when making gold?  How do I keep from getting burnt out?  It really got me thinking about what I actually do in the game to make gold or to avoid getting burnt out.  So, for this month's question I ask you:


What keeps driving you to make gold?  What do you do to avoid getting burnt out?
