What is the general consensus on gems and gold in preparing for the new expansion... Is it better to stock up on gems, gold, or a combo of the two?

NA servers - add me if ya want - ysoserious#1178. - i run a clan if anyone wants an invite. no requirements to join - as long as your nice and friendly your more than welcome
I'm pretty sure Marquise gems start dropping by level 70 if not sooner. Therefore any gems you stockpile now will be totally eclipsed by a single drop. The jury is still out on gold. Right now crafting and enchanting is considered expensive so gold may help. But if crafting costs are reduced and/or gold drops are buffed, it may not matter.
but if you were me - would you sell your gems on the AH to get at least some gold for now?

I believe blizz will balance the gold income (increase it from now it is on now on the beta). Keep in mind they have to balance it for people who didnt play vanilla and brought over hundreds of millions or billions. Having a large sum will be a nice start but I dont think it'll be crucial once blizz balances the gold income.
yeah marquise gems start dropping at 61+ like candy so dont bother stocking up on em, sell em now if u can. same with mats since there are diff mats for 61-70. still things can change but gold is the only thing worth bringing over atm. still i keep praying for a ladder feature

IF nothing changes you want gold, gold only, and tons of gold.
But I hope (and believe, since Blizzard asked about gold on the RoS forums) that this will change within the next couple of months before RoS release.
