They can remove all Professions … Problem solved …

I don’t know about the nerfs to relics of the past, but I do know that crafting is in a bad spot.
I want to be able to craft for myself – and alts – and not only be able to do so from breaking down items in my inventory on that specific character because the materials are bind on pickup.
It would also be nice if leveling recipes didn’t require massive amounts of reputation and gold on top of that to learn.
Right now, leveling up BFA crafting is a major challenge and what you gain from it is rather small unless you go to extreme lengths to unlock the bind on pickup recipes, and they are literally just for you.
Frankly, I don’t like where crafting is at right now. Legion was the closest to a decent crafting system we have had since Mists of Pandaria. I don’t foresee things changing, however.
I’m not going to make an exclamation that “I’m never crafting again”, however, because I enjoy crafting for the sake of crafting. For myself. BFA is definitely the first expansion where I felt no obligation whatsoever to max out the profession though, because it’s very difficult, very expensive, and there is very little to gain from it.
At least the tools of the trade were fun, I guess. Here’s to hoping Shadowlands is better.

Meanwhile Blizzard is developing an expansion that’s likely going to be having crafting be more important than it’s ever been.
But OK
Well… when you have an exploit what do you expect?
The gold thing was poorly tuned, some thought it would last. 
Crafted Items were hit with an ILVL Nerf, rendering them arguably pretty much mathematically/effort useless.
The real issue.

hehe you bought all those mats thinking you where gonna get rich, even after the relic of the past nerf.
Guess what!!! it was me 5 hours before patch went live that let them know there was still a huge mess of crafted items ( Not relic stuff) selling for 30 times the price they should, 2g to make 53g gold to vendor, that just silly ( garrisons already inflated everything once no thanks). So yeah do us a favor, don’t craft anymore and stop watching shuffle videos.

But this is War-craft…
There’s only two true features on this game… the war and the craft…
If you reject the craft, you’ll lose 50% of the game experience!

They could always make crafting for things like transmog and toys. Quality of life stuff. Enchanting and inscription could stay the same I guess. Stuff that won’t change the fights.

I basically gave up on everything but Engineering a long time ago, but with the teleportation toys in recent expansions being “random location” I’m finding even that a dubious choice. At this point, I think Loot-a-rang is the only item I find compelling enough to train for.

No, it’s way better. OP is just being melodramatic. They obviously have no clue that everybody relies on crafters in Shadowlands to create legendaries.

I concede that crafting could be important and relevant in SL. But I don’t trust them to follow through, because the devs have demonstrated clearly, again and again, that they can’t be trusted.

By the way we have seen and documented the changes to crafting, it is clear to see the artist does not understand material use.
How many different people have been working on this? Clearly some who are void of WOW historical knowledge.

So you’re going to play World of War?
I stick with alchemy and enchanting. Crafting gear is a PIA to get to max lvl and usually only profitable at launch. Farming, selling mats is my go beside alchemy and enchanting.
Better for some, not all. Mose notable some consumables got nerfed heavily, like potions, drums, and inscription scrolls.

BfA killed crafting for me. Looks like they have continued their crusade. Guess since their plans to kill flying didn’t pan out they had to focus their anger on something else. I didn’t mind crafting in Legion though, not at all! I wish I knew what we did to deserve this.

Fun fact, the new tutorial after the starting island takes you on a tour of the capitol city and explains things like mounts and inns and the other basics of the game. It never once even mentions crafting or professions before sending you off to start the BFA content. Take from that as you will.
