WoW Tycoon was a recent release of the new generation of WoW gold guides. This guide had a very good marketing campaign prior to it’s release, and on release day it sold a lot of copies. So what did the new WoW gold guide WoW Tycoon have to offer that other guides didn’t? What made this such a fast seller? Maybe a better question would be is “Why were so many WoW gamers dissatisfied with their copies?” The answer is simple, WoW Tycoon is a bland guide that offers very little in the way of new information.
WoW Tycoon, like most guides, is comprised of a primary guide supported by supplemental guides. What makes the
difference in a good WoW gold guide primary guide is the quality and organization of the content. Unfortunately, WoW Tycoon’s primary guide lacks both. It is a guide that seems to take more pride in filler material and bloated space hogging images (to increase the page count) than it does in providing useful and methodical information that brings real value to the WoW gamer. The primary guide is a skimpy 154 pages, in comparison Gold Secrets by Luke Brown is 343 pages and packed with great info. WoW Tycoon’s primary is not useless, it does provide some useful info but it’s just stuff that most other guides provide at lesser cost and with greater detail and volume. I think you get the jist of the primary guide, no need to cover it in detail, frankly because there isn’t much detail to cover. I mean, how many times do I have to be told to stock up on bags early?
The rest of the package is a trio of supplemental guides. This is the list:
- Warcraft Tycoon’s Auction House Secrets
- Warcraft Tycoon’s Northrend Rare Mob Hunting
- Warcraft Tycoon’s Fishing & Cooking Guide
These are some of the worst supplemental guides around, they, like the primary guide are full of rehashed information. What makes it even worse is that the rehashed info is not even well done. Not much more to say here either.
WoW Tycoon is without a doubt the most overhyped WoW gold guide ever. It was a brilliant marketing campaign and they made off like bandits, but the rest of us got less than we hoped for. Needless to say, avoid this guide. Thankfully there are alternatives, two of the best are Gold Secrets and Secret Gold Guide. Do yourself a favor and get either of those two instead.
