I think with the addition of warbands we should have some level of crafting recipes not being stuck to a character. So if we want to change around who has what we shouldn’t view it as ridiculously hard to get back all our old recipes.
In the past it wasn’t as big a deal because old stuff wasn’t worth that much but as we enter into the world of housing, old recipes could be a big deal. I am not saying we keep all our skill and all that, just that if one character learns a recipe…all characters learn it. The one exception I think would be talent point based stuff…for that you know the recipe but can’t use it till you unlock it in the talent tree for the crafting.
Let’s lean in on the warbands for crafting as we enter the age of housing in WoW.
