Tapping is to hit a monster once or twice. Basically, this is used in reference to a low level character 'tapping' a high level monster and then having a high level character kill it. In previous builds of WoW, the first player to 'tap' the monster would get the experience points. This has been changed and now it is % based on the amount of damage you inflict.

there goes all the easy exp xP

If that doesn't work and you need gold quick, I recommend The MMORPG Exchange WoW Gold. They deliver quickly and are cheap! I usually receive my gold within 20 minutes. They're my secret weapon, I highly recommend them!
