In general, there are two reasons people grind in World of Warcraft.

1. To make some gold. If you are considering grinding for gold, consider gold farming guides to help you determine the best locations.
2. To get experience and level. In most cases, using a WOW in-game guide will be your best option for leveling, however, some people like grinding away since that is something they can do while watching TV or chatting, and does not require 100% of your focus.

Grinding definitely still has a place in the WOW game. AOE grinding (gathering mobs then killing them using AOE attacks) can particularly deliver good results, allowing players to gain both experience and gold very quickly.However, most people find grinding to be a bit tedious, and for this reason it is not for everyone. On the other hand, if you have chosen to go with grinding, this article will provide some tips.

1. Get the largest bags you can afford. Needless to say, you will pick up lots of loot, and having a lot of bag space will save you from making trips to vendors or the auction house.
2. Set your loot options so you auto-loot your corpses. There are a number of ways to do this, but the most simple one is to set it up in your options. You can also shift-click on mobs to loot everything with a single click.
3. Get the skinning profession. This cannot be underestimated. Many of the mobs you take down while grinding can be skinned. Most of what you skin will sell for quite a few gold in the auction houses, boosting your gold earnings by quite a bit.
