Can we please do something so Engineering isn’t the BiS go-to profession required by all?

Both Era and SoM our Horde guild was constantly top 3-5 on progression, never required engineering and most didnt run it. Not sure where you see it is required unless you are in the top 1% speed running guilds clearing MC, Ony, and BWL in sub 2 hours.

Moreso just watch I’m seeing, every suggestion I see of “what profession(s) should I be for X class/spec” and they’re always told engineering
What about Alchemy, Enchanting, etc?
Engineering is the only profession that has useful items that are BoP.
99.9% of what other professions offer is BoE.
they are addressing this by giving other proffs strong BoP items
alternatively another fix is to just make grenades not require engineering to be used.

I feel like that’d be a good compromise
Hopefully they’re still working on that for tomorrow, because from what I’ve seen Alchemy didn’t really get anything besides a potion to speak to dead NPCs while everyone else either got an epic crafting piece or a new raid consumable
Imo they should make engi items that u use from ur bag, like grenades, target dummy etc, useable for everyone.
And only gear pieces like mindcotrolling helmet, trinkets, etc should require engi as a profession.

Engineering shouldn’t be nerfed just because you don’t want it to be meta.

I don’t think it’d be much of a nerf to simply make it so their utility consumables were useable by all, and make it so they have an epic crafted version of their goggles that only engineers can use.
This would seem like quite a buff, especially since it would also open up Engineering to be useful for gold making by selling their bombs and such on the AH.

Can we nerf tailoring too? I think it’s dumb that they can just make bags with so many slots

I’m curious what guilds those were.
They did. Go check out https://www.wowhead.com/classic/guide/season-of-discovery/profession-crafted-gear-items
Unlike engi, u can just buy those op broken bags and use them as a non tailor.
But maybe we should add a tailoring requirement to those bags instead, even those u buy from npc 
I’ve seen a lot of guilds say engineering is required in Classic Era… I’ve also seen guilds say they will only take priests who are dwarves.
I haven’t typically joined those guilds, so I’m not sure how much it is enforced.
No need to nerf, just make grenades and sappers useable by all. This makes Engineering a far more profitable profession as well. A win/win

Maybe they should just make the sappers And dynamite Be able to be used by non engineers.
At least that would make it less attractive Yeah you still have the boost that’s true But at least it would help.
But yeah I completely agree Engineering is the only actual profession Where the best benefit comes from the stuff that’s bop not boe.
I mean imagine if you couldn’t use flasks if you weren’t an alchemist I don’t even want to think about how terrible that would be.
Then again. I also think black lotus should be removed from the game but that’s Just maybe me.
But either way, yeah, they need to do something. Where engineering isn’t so desirable borderline required by everybody.
We can’t have nice things, just remove professions besides fishing, cooking and first aid. GG.
they should just make engineering a secondary profession like fishing or first aid because its so necessary
The guild was…oh nevermind, conveniently posted on guildless character
