The Beauty Of Glyphs [Link]

"I've been that person, crashing glyph markets for fun and profit. It's a valid tactic for market grooming and is also just a fun way to learn more about markets, your competition, addons, etc. But if someone else trying to mess with your profit margins is upsetting to the point it will drive you out of the market you should probably stick to dailies and not worry too much about the Auction House."

-In Defense of Glyphs over on Clockwork Riot 

Her post is a tremendous rallying cry for all you glyph sellers out there. The point-by-point response to Selling Glyphs Scares The Hell Out Of Me was quite thorough.

To paraphrase an old scribe:

"Then [Jim] said unto [Faid], Almost thou persuadest me to be a [Glyph seller]." 

Almost. Now, I have some dailies to do.

(Read on for a bit more.)

Addendum:

Just to be clear I really do like Faid's post. It is a really well thought out post that has lots of great information for those looking to sell glyphs.

Receiving feedback, opinions, critiques and alternate perspectives on my work is one of my favorite parts of blogging.

I recently stumbled upon Ann Friedman's The Disapproval Matrix. While she describes each quadrant in more detail in her post (which I highly recommend you read) I've included the diagram of The Disapproval Matrix below.

Can you guess which quadrant I think Faid's post falls into?
