OVER 2+ million gold just to level 1 Profession rnk 4 Shadowlands!

890k gold in vendor purchases to level up rank 4 for all legendaries. He is looking at it from the perspective of a mythic raid leader who will need to have a tailor in the guild who can provide the legendaries for all slots.

I was starting to get the feeling that there was some purpose behind recycling a highly unpopular and controversial prepatch event, ie the scourge invasion, more than saving money by not creating new content, and then “encouraging” players to fight about it endlessly in the forum.

Like maybe the whole thing was a distraction to draw attention away from something they didn’t want noticed.

Like this. Bingo.

Giving me a Classic vibe with this, and I think its cool because I don’t mind farming and having a goal to finally reach.

The problem is how much of a power boost is it though… I’m all for grinding, but only if I know the juice is worth the squeeze.

Ok… if that is the case i won’t do professions at all in SL, thanks for the heads up!

This is stupid.

But if you did, then you could probably make enough money to get those recipes to rank 4. :wink: You can actually sell the armor pieces and other parts that people need to craft legendaries. Not everyone is going to have their Armorcrafting Profession.

I’m not too worried about it though. I was making 3-5K a day in the beta without trying.

I am hoping that as well. Maybe once SL is live that either the AH reduces to a more manageable price, or the availability is increased.

so…just make rank one and level it with soul ash. Problem resolved.

the craft professions were destroyed on beta, they’re only “usefull” for this “legendaries”, the rest is garbage, after they removed the optional reagentes and crafter’s mark 3 and 4, that would level up a craft item to ilvl 200, useful for catch up alts. But we can’t have such fun.

My favorite part about that is when a token player speaks up about how Blizzard “isn’t getting their money because they pay with gold.” When the truth is they are indirectly causing Blizzard to make an extra $5 in profits.

it will be like BFA where crafted gear is useful only before the first raid releases, then it will all be vendor garbage… I dunno, I just don’t think I’ve ever been this un-excited for an expansion launch. I am honestly debating if I should stick around after getting pathfinder part 1. EVERYTHING about shadowlands just seems like it has been optimized to waste as much time and gold as possible.

I don’t think they could have made a less exciting/appealing expansion if they tried and it makes me sad…

Except you can’t make or rank up legendaries without crafted gear. So… I guess it comes down to the finished Legendary material market.

I don’t really know what that means since I tried not to spoil the story of the new expansion (hard to do when blizz themselves puts spoilers on the launcher but oh well)

Suffice it to say, if I feel like my time is being wasted again in shadowlands I will just wait for x.3 when they do away with the time gates and add catchup mechanics… Wasting so much time doing things I don’t want to do in

WoW is starting to give me an existential crisis that I am wasting my life away here, I legitimately don’t think I can do this anymore. I just want the fun game back where I can punch dragons in the face and get loot without jumping through a billion hoops.

I stopped jumping through their hoops in Cataclysm and have fun in the game while punching dragons. :man_shrugging:

They know the addicts are going to do it is what they were thinking😂. Imagine tokens are going to sell like hot cakes in shadowfail🍿

This exactly. Completionist are going to suffer.

I know this is focused around Guilds funneling mats and gold to there main crafters so they have one of every rank 4 and all that jazz.

is what it is.

If they ever want to try battlegrounds or turn on warmode. It’s not pve that they’re for.
