This is a petition: Blacksmithing is still a profession that requires a big investment to max out. Then you are to chose between Armorsmith & Weaponsmith, which is fine. However, if you choose Weaponsmithing, you are limited to specializations which really is a problem for those who are trying to get somewhere with being a weaponsmith, cuz you are essentially limited to a very few craft-able weapons. This is particularly painful for those who are trying to get exalted with Thorium Brotherhood, in which for most servers the cost is astronomically high. (note: I’m not even a blacksmith)
This serves as a petition to allow weaponsmiths to be able to pickup all specialization quests and be able to craft swords, maces, & axes without being forced to only one spec. This shouldn’t be a complicated thing to fix, and would only make sense. Please consider this WoW Devs =)

Isn’t axe smithing the only one worth anything anyways?
Also, #nochanges.
If anything I’d say that there should be more specialization in professions. Then each crafter would be more unique and would have a better chance at selling their unique items. Right now people can cover a lot of crafting on their own and so there’s less need for multiple crafters.

No.
The specializations add a really nice flavor to the game, and it gives a guild member a reason to feel special by providing specialized recipes to people. Collecting recipes and bolstering professions is a guild effort, and at the end of the day any individual member can reflect on their guild and admire that all of their profession services can be handled within the guild.
It’s a multiplayer game. Play it with multiple people.

Any smart guild or player has only a limited amount of people doing the same crafting professions. All other players should roll alchemy for transmute availability and making consumables, since consumables are the only crafts in WoW that do not have a server cap. Meaning people will always be buying them. But once every warrior that wants lionheart helm, has it, the thing won’t get made anymore.

That is what my guild does.
We spit up specializations among us, so we have them all covered.
We also help each other out with mats or plans for them etc
Hate to say it, but in Vanilla/Classic, 90% of Blacksmiths should be going Armorsmith because it just has so many more useful recipes. Nightfall is just about the only reason to go Weaponsmith. TBC is a different story.
Annihilator?
Sulfuron Hammer?
I will agree that blacksmithing can be expensive but so are a lot of the professions. I’ve been leveling a character with it and am at 270 BS on a lvl 47 paladin. I have enjoyed it every step of the way. The “Mithril” quests you get that give trinkets that are weird are awesome.
The whole process really gives me the sense of working to be a crafter. You end up crafting so many things. Being able to give out Mithril Spurs and counterweight peoples weapons. Just a good time.
If you are boring and only want to make the 1 thing that is the “bis” thing then sure but if you are playing the game and enjoying your time I have no complaints.
You want to devalue the thousands of gold i invested to be one of the few nightfall crafters day one on my server?
You want to make more gold? drop blacksmithing and pick up herbing.

Classic isn’t a “make it better” game. Classic isn’t “Blizzard’s new game and its 2019 flagship product”.
Classic is a copy of an old game – a game that Blizzard improved and changed a whole lot. So Blizzard in 2019 did not claim any part of Classic was “the best way” or even “a good way”
If in 2019 you choose to play a 2005 known-to-be-far-from-the-best game, you can. But don’t expect it to get better.

Sadly Sulfuron hammer isn’t locked to hammersmithing, just need 300 smithing and an ingot and you can learn it.
Ah, good to know! Ty for the info.
You missed the chance to “petition” (lol) for changes like 15 years ago man.
This is beyond #nochanges
