So I'm wondering now, when such things as engineering and jewelcrafting seem essential for PvP, whether we would be able to take up a 3rd main profession? I don't think this would unfairly balance the game or give a player too many nice 'buffs', plus most of us have alts that are miners/herbs anyway so we get the items we need, just not the added post-3.0 bonuses.
The problem is convenience. I have to level an alt then level herb on him (which isn't that hard to lvl out of all the profs really, but still) then run around farming, whereas I've never farmed herbs in my life. I get all the herbs I need and more (too many atm) just from herbing while doing dailies/flying around. So if I drop this, it means I have to go out and farm herbs, which just isn't fun at all for me.
Blizz, It's also been said many times that you guys want us to involve ourselves as much as possible with both sides of the game - well I think this would be a perfect way to encourage that! Already most hardcore pvpers have had to drop everything and take up jewelcrafting/engineering, so I can't see how giving them, and us (non-hardcore pvpers) an additional main profession would be a bad thing as it would assist them more in raiding (the alchemy 'effects' are great) and us with pvp.
TL:DR Blizz, any chance we could help players to involve themselves more with both sides of the game?
P.S. Also, PLEASE buff the endless mana flask - 400-600 mana back is pretty bad :(
