The Newest Guide on the Market is Something Completely Different…
February 13th, 2010
I’ve been working a lot lately and have not had the inspiration to keep playing wiw. However, that all changed when I heard of the newest guide from T Dub Sanders.
It’s called Hit Gold Cap and it promises to help you do just that – hit the gold cap. Like any good WoW player, I was interested to learn if this was for real or if it was just another hoax being tossed around by someone eager to sell books.
Getting to the Root of HitGoldCap
The first few pages of HitGoldCap discuss all the stuff we already know. The other gold guides are full of farming methods that don’t work. You need add-ons that will help you master the Auction House. You need to learn how to use other resources like WoWHead.com. These are all pretty obvious statements, though it is nice to see them all covered succinctly and quickly at the beginning of a guide.
But, then T Dub dives head first into the strategies he says made him rich. And guess what, this is not just another hoax. This is the real deal and I’ve seen how it can be made so.
The basics of the guide are simple – use the auction house to make gold by buying and selling when the market fluctuates. However, T Dub’s advanced strategies for doing so are original and well balanced in the face of the way in which most gold guides have you stumbling around with Auctioneer.
By the time you get to the last two lessons, you’re learning techniques I’ve never seen before, upping your gold counts by far more than I originally thought was possible. They’re unique, clever, and best of all useful in almost every way. If you’re serious about making a fortune in World of Warcraft, then this is the guide to help you get there. Just make sure you follow every tip carefully. This is not your typical gold guide. You need to be sure of what you’re doing the whole way along.

Technical Support
- The cvar ‘processAffinityMask’ controls which CPU cores are available for the World of Warcraft client to use. Previously the game client was limited to 2 cores as a default which players could override in the configuration file. In the past this provided a performance boost on some CPUs and operating systems. We have identified several systems that are experiencing severe performance issues with this restriction and have removed it. Players who would like to restore the old behavior can do so by updating the Config.WTF file by adding: SET processAffinityMask “3″.
That’s all folks. Now go enjoy the new patch!
