What polls? Tinkers have been the preferred class in every poll I’ve seen on here.
Yes, pretending that profession items are the same as class abilities is quite stupid....
Obviously a Tinker is going to be a superior engineer than some Warrior or Rogue dabbling in making toys and goggles. It stands to reason that they wouldn’t be using schematics.
Uh, the article said that there is no new class, and the theme of the expansion fits the existing DK class. I’ve seen other interviews where they say that no new class fits the theme of Shadowlands.
Even a blind man can see the message behind that.

Well let’s see what Necromancers can do;

Death Knights can do all of this.
We had Tinkers in WC3, and WoW is a sequel to WC3, so they’re in the lore, and they’re referenced in WoW. So just because we haven’t seen them in WoW yet, doesn’t mean they don’t exist.
No different than Pandaren based Monks before MoP.
