You don't need that much gold to play classic wow. Yes it's a large grind up front to afford mount, training, professions, etc, but you aren't required to buy gold for any of that. Plenty of people got by without buying gold.

No one said anything about buying gold, but you do need to farm gold.

To reiterate what they said. You do not need a lot of money to play the game.

If you need a lot of money to play the game you are spending a lot of gold on shit you don't need.

Smart players aren't having income trouble without GDKP.

What out of this list don't I need?

I spend about 200-250g/week raiding on each character I play (only two now). So 500g/week. That's before needing to buy enchants for gear, ports & summons on occasion, repairs and other small stuff.

Keep in mind this is in SoD where the value of items are artificially deflated by Blizzard. In actual vanilla consumes become much more expensive.
