The majority of players would love to have gold cap added to their wallets and BIS gear mailed to them. I think the profession revamp is largely complete and utter nonsense and in no way is good for the solo casual, but I can at least appreciate Blizzard wanting to add some element of permanence and having specializations have some kind of significance even if their actual implementation is woefully bad here.
What is even the point of specialization if you can just undo it on some whim?
