Since you are one of the obtuse ones trying to ignore the main topic here, I will repost the part you tried to ignore:
EVEN IF THEY WANTED TO USE THAT ITEM, THEY WOULD NEED SOMEONE MAXED OUT IN CRAFTING SKILL TO MAKE IT WORK FOR THEM.
I’m not maxxed in Leatherworking and I’m already making 418 gear for people.
All 100% true. But as you, and so many other people have put it, that kind of thing is not for casuals to be pursuing…if we were all max crafters reminiscing about how to make more money…it’d be relevant.
I’m sure never going to have the money or mats to ever consider using them even if I got them.
I just figured out that the mail armor I specialized into requires decay ingredients that have to be crafted by someone who specialized into crafting those mats…was excited that I almost had all the mats ready and then…boom.
Good lord was this a squeeze-show.
Wasn’t that people changed their minds…they didn’t know (or understand) that not funneling to (1) thing to the exclusion of others was the “right” answer.
But you didn’t fumble the KP spend either.

I refuse to put in an order because it’ll end up rank 1 or 2 instead of what I want.
My 40 points in Meat Carving would beg to differ. 
IDK how JC works… do you just not have any patterns that give skill, or you just can’t get anyone to buy your crafts for skillups? You can’t rely on the public order system… you have to snipe buyers or spam ads in trade.
Lol…that’s skinning. Not crafting.
You can cut standard gems all the way to 80. Then diamonds after that.
The last few points are best done with the gem clusters that come from the Glasswork skill branch. Since we can get about 10 knowledge points per week, even somebody who’s ignored it completely could get that maxxed out in 3 weeks, tops.
This might happen eventually. Though, I would guess that what is more likely are catch-up mechanisms to start showing up in 9.1. It’s already the case that I seem to find more +1 point items that drop from mobs or are found in satchels on characters that have fewer points. I can’t be certain of that since I don’t play those characters as much, but when I do I tend to find +1 drops. If you aren’t obsessed with trying to compete with people who have the Lariat recipe, illimited diamonds and blue profession gear can sell fairly regularly, give yellow skill-ups all the way to 95 (after which you can improve your odds of skill-ups using polishing cloth), and won’t be out of fashion until the patch where new recipes come out.
Wowhead profession recipe lists show at what level items stop giving skill points.
wait so if i dont pet battle then pet battles are a bad system? like just cause you dont like it doesnt mean its bad. lol
While true, the journey between having the KP and using it to get to that is a lot of the issue…not touching the player having to know to go to various 3rd party websites.
There was a lot of mis-estimation on the change to the system too…not that everyone is just genuinely stupid.
it is a learn to play issue combined with greed and impatience - people have given that poster many solutions but he fails to see them as viable alternatives. He wants to make gold easy mode and easy mode is what resulted in players making alt army on every server and aiming for one billion gold.
I am leveling up all professions and I fully expect to have them up to 100 skill within 6 months because I am willing to put effort in where needed.
I’ve been fulfilling inscription orders and sending a note offering to do it cheaper if they send it as a personal order next time.
I have a few regular weekly customers now.
is there any point in having regular customers if it isn’t profitable enough?
I’ve filled like, probably 10 or 15 public and 3 private. You gotta sit in trade and advertise your services, as well as frequent your crafting table and check if any are available.
For me, as a blacksmith, the Ebon Forge lets me compelte orders without returning to a city station to check for public. So that’s convenient.
generally i agree with this though.

I put in public orders r3 materials and make sure you add the optional extras.
Tip 10-100g and I usually get a r4.
By adding in the optional extras only people specialised in that item can access the craft.
Most the time they just want the skillup or quest completed, you could probably get a r4-5 for 1 silver tip.
Last time I put in a public order, I used R3 mats, missives and magazine…2k commission.
Got a 3-star back in the mail.
Not touching the public stuff again with the system as-is.
How is it not profitable to go to your crafting table, click a button and have gold appear in your bag?
Sure a couple of them tip as low as possible but that doesn’t bother me, I have one that tips 1000g for a treatise… and all I have to do is click a couple buttons before I log out.
Never know what recipe will drop in this xpac and if I am their “go to” inscriber then they’ll most likely use me for it too.
I could have made more gold just going double gather and AHing everything, but I enjoy crafting.
Never tip high in public.
Tip dirt in public, tip high in personal.
Recrafts are cheap material wise, so you can get it recrafts into a r5 later.
Professions arent content
