Don't buy pointless **** and the gold from killed mobs and quest rewards should add up to be quite a bit by the time you hit 77. I doubt you'll reach 5000g in 5 levels of questing, but it'll help quite a bit. Without a profession of some kind there isn't much advice that one can give.

If you don't want to hear about skills, the only way to make money is by questing and doing dailies (i.e. questing). Try to AH your greens, some people are willing to spend 10g a green for EC mats. There isn't a secret to making gold, and if prices just dropped on your AH...well, you know the old saying about buying low right?

Dude, you're backed into a corner. There's not much else you can do without professions. If you don't want to take up a profession that's just the way it is: killing mobs and doing quests (which you need to do to get to 77 in the first place, so it's two birds with one stone). If there's a quest item you can't use, look up the one that NPC's for the most and get that so you can just vendor it.

And it doesn't matter if sellables have dropped in price a little bit or a lot. Gold is gold, and it adds up over time as long as you don't go off spending it on everything. An item doesn't need to sell for a massive amount of gold to be considered a money maker. Browse the AH on your server and find something with decent demand. If the demand is there and the item isn't terribly hard to obtain, go farm it. Small amounts of consistent gold is always going to be better than trying to bank off of big-shot items that most people aren't going to want or be able to afford.

There's no magic way to make gold. You can't make any without a little bit of work outside of just buying it. If you aren't willing to work for it you can go ahead and enjoy your 60% flight speed because you aren't going to afford epic training otherwise.

The forum isn't your cell phone. Learn to punctuate, please, for the love of all that is good and right. =)

Grinding humanoids with a Pick Pocket + Cheap Shot macro is probably as good as your going to get outside questing and gathering. As noted, there is not magic trick to it.

Seriously, without enchanting, jewelcrafting or a gathering prof, you're gonna be stuck grinding mobs/dailys(quests)/pickpocketing for gold. I can spend an hour in a major city(read one with an AH) and average over 2k a day, but you have to have either a prof or 2(or alts) that allow you to disenchant cheaply bought or cheaply crafted items for mats, or able to craft epic items that have some demand that isn't being met. Currently have 2 JCs to sell epic rings/dragons eyes/rare gems, a lw for leg enchants and epic crafted gear and a de'er to make enchant mats from cheaply made lvl 70 rings/leather items. 160k from auctions since December, so lvl a couple prof, read the thread on EJs and good luck.
