Copper, Silver, and Gold was not an afterthought in vanilla like it is in retail.
If you’re not familiar with Classic or it’s been a while, just because you were making far less gold doesn’t mean everything cost less, because it didn’t. You will not be doing this in Classic, at least not until you’re leveling an alt that you’ve sent gold to. Not only that, but you can even easily afford to buy gear from vendors in retail. Leveling in retail is easy, and gear is thrown your way from every direction. You will not make the same gold as you currently do in retail, not in amount or in in respect to Classic prices.
