 Top Grinding Spots A That A Lot of People Think Is A Waste 

This is the collection of money grinding spots Borsha collected from the Ultimate Grind spots thread on the wow forums. I added the top grinding spots where you can make 40+ gold/hour. Many of the grinding spots can be farmed by other classes than hunters, but at the heavy competition spots, hunters are helped by their tracking ability, range and speed.
