As someone who mains a Guardian, this will make it much harder for me to get silk. I don’t want to have to level an alt just to gear my main. Can profession loot be an option?
Please No Profession Loot

Hi everyone,
The article about profession system only presented the idea behind this system and we generally don’t give precise details about these systems unless these details are needed to understand the idea. In this case we can’t share details but we want to reassure players that they’re not going to see changes in loot so visible that some components are going to “rain” or they’ll stop seeing loot variety. It’s more complex than that.
The adjustments to the loot system are fairly subtle and the goals are that, after a certain time, your characters will effectively have more components you can use. So it may take some time for you to see a difference, or not, but it’s not going to feel like a very visible change each time you loot a mob. We want players, in particular new ones or those creating alts, to more often be able to use the items they loot directly or get something that is relevant to their profession. It does not mean that you’ll get less varied loot overall. We’ll keep monitoring the changes to kitten its affects.
Thanks for your early feedback!

Does this mean that it will affect level 80s?
Yes it will but the change will not be easily noticeable.
