I'm gonna have to completely disagree. All of the new changes make it so that you have a lot more choice about what you want to do, and how much of it you want to do. All this means to me is that I get to choose how I spend my non-raiding time in the game more freely, and hopefully not all of my non-raiding time will be spent prepping for raiding now.
But that's the thing, scribes can ONLY make gold at the start of an expansion. They make the new glyphs, trinks, whatever, sell those, and then the market dries up severely.
This gives scribes more life as far as making money is concerned.
