Alchemy and Enchanting Nerfed too the Netherworld?

Is my game bugged, or did the devs go insane and nerf Alchemy and Enchanting beyond death?

I am seeing weird things like Flask, buffs and enchants only ever doing 1… MAYBE 2 to stats while costing gold to relearn. I am seeing greater, superior and higher level health and mana potions that give less health then lesser potions.

What the OBSCENITY is this?!?! There is no OBSCENITY way that can be right!
Surely this is a seriously out of wack bug that needs a simply fix… right???
Surely the devs are not so unhinged as to actually rewrite the professions to nerf the UNDERWORLD out of Alchemy and Enchanting???

This better be a bug that simply needs a fix and not an intentionally programmed thing. If this is intentionally programmed in, then this is a level of unhinged unforgivable programming choice that absolutely deserves canceling my recently renewed subscription over.

Surely this was not intentional… right???
If this is “working as intended,” then Blizzard has an unhinged lead dev working for them.

Even when you take into account the fact that the places from Vanilla WoW that used to require 45-60 have turned down to require 15-30, your characters health and stats are still such that there is still absolutely no reason to nerf those potions to begin with. Even halving their power really wasn’t justifiable. So wiping them out like this is simply beyond insane.
