Wow Gameplay - Trying To Learn!

Haii! Yesterday I finally started to play WoW together with my neighbor, we have been talking for a while about playing it but never started but now we have and we got a plan for it also!
Nowadays you can pay for WoW with the gold you earn in game by buying a token in Auction House, it also seems like you can pay for other Battle.net games with the token also by turning it into Battle.net balance somehow so the plan is to just earn as much gold as possible lol ima take mining and Engineering as professions and I think he will take Herbalism and something else. Anyway I am still trying to learn all the damn skills and I couldn't even think straight yesterday so yeah I am not that good (yet) so hopefully I'll get better the more we play :D
