So Professions won't have any bonus effect?

[Alexeht]

Taking away flying, profession perks, tons of skills/spells/talents.

What exactly are we actually GETTING from this new expansion? All I see are lists of shit that's being taken away from us.

I take this quote as sig :P
This probably make everyone change their profession to engi if you will still have belt speed boost and glider on cloak.
Soon all we gonna do in WoW is going on raid 2h three times a week and farm gold trough garrison app on your android/ios ...

Let's remove talents, gems and enchants.

They're all about min-maxing.

Except the cost for a couple of gems and enchants to min max is by far not the same as leveling an entire profession to min-max.
so that comparison is a bit flawed.

Take away more things from the game that takes time so we get bored faster... yaay.

This would be a fine change, if they add a lot more in to do with professions

If your choosing a profession based purely on statistical advantage it gives you, then you lost the point of an MMORPG

Or you can't comprehend people play games for different reasons.

And as for the flavour argument, WoW professions are so barren there's no flavour to be had from anything but engineering.

I'm perfectly OK with this change. It's really not fun to, for example, take mining for the bonus Stam for tanking, then be completely gimp if you have to switch to DPS mid-expansion and be forced to drop 10k+ gold just to level a crafting prof. I've done it on mains 3 times now, and it's getting old.

...thats what I'm saying, not you.

Honestly the only the desperate few min maxers who self identify by comparing their numbers to others numbers will be effected, and chances are that few of that few will simply find it a better challenge. The rest of us choose profs for things like "fun" or "making gold"

Bonuses were pretty dumb honestly, most professions gave the exact same boost, just in different formats, be it ring enchants or an extra socket.

Wut

The sockets are infinitely better then fixed stats.

pre-Mop they were equal, since pretty much everyone was going for main stat until they added in 2 secondaries = 1 primary on gems. 2/3 expansions of the perks being ingame, that is.
