Ok im sure those who know me are well used to my fairly comprehensive gold making guides with detailed screenshots, links and what not, but for this guide, more of a tip... it's kind of pointless going into detail since it is so simple.
I'm sure alot of you find your self AFK in SW while doing work/homework/scanning auction house and what not, well what i do is i enlarge my chat screen to max and increase the font so it is easily readable even at a distance.
Now here is the tip, make an alt and level it to say lvl 20 and make sure you aren't in a guild...
Now you wait.
Sooner rather than later you will
A) see someone advertising in /y /1 or /2 saying they need people to sign their guild charters
B) someone just requests sig without permission and the charter request comes up on the screen
Now all you say to them is, "If i sing your charter, is it possible for you to give me 1gold (if they are low lvl) or 3-5gold (if they are high lvl)
Slowly but surely you will get free gold, this is often way more profitable than begging or spamming macros asking for gold.
I agree this is a very small amount of gold but for me, my account got disabled until i resolve a dispute filed against my bank with blizzard so i am on an alt account chatting to my friends when ever i get the chance and i just take the opportunity to make an extra buck as my mains welcome back present.
I am lvl 13 sitting with 65 gold in stormwind after a /played time of 1 day 10 hours 4 minutes and 24 seconds...go figure :P
Just my 2 cents and it seems kind of logical and haven't really seen it posted hehe.
