We thought the engineering problem was worse because players felt compelled to drop their current profession and grind out engineering just for PvP.
Blizz, this is NOT another feedback to your recent desision to nerf engineering. This is a feedback about your return to that old blasted approach when professions meant very little in any aspect of the game.
Nerfing enginering puts it in line with other useless professions. All of the professions can be tested for viability with a simple test:
*** compare 2 chares - one with any two professions maxed up and another without any. There would be nearly no difference.***
Is this how you want it to be? How can blacksmith can be distinct from the others with just 2 extra sockets? Or Alchemist with Endless potion of Whatever? Or Jewelcrafter with extra 60AP or 30res? Why can't you sit down and think on how to make all professions viable so players wouldn't abandon their professions in favor of engineering stealth detection. This is not harder than making Ulduar.
Why do you prefer all professions SUCK when they all could ROCK?
As a rogue I can only welcome this nerf as I become stealthier than before. But as someone who would like to feel the benefits of profession I feel really pissed. Thank you for this feeling.
