Senseless useless time wasteing example in this expansion

Here is an example of the garbage in this expansion which seems to have no logical reasoning other than to purely waste time.

Ittybits is a tailor and enchanter. The goal of this days session is to create a whole lot of Tidespray Linen Robes to skill up the tailoring then disenchant them to gain the Gloom Dust for her enchanting skill up. Each robe needs Tidespray Linen (16) and Nylon Thread (20). So away we go and farm up heaps of the linen; no problem; easy peasy.

Now it’s off to see Daniel Brineweaver in Boralus to buy the nylon thread. 20 per robe, 200 per stack. WHOA !! What’s this? Where’s the ‘stack buy’ option from last expansion? Double checks - nope, no deal; it’s not an option.

So I log in my banker in Ironforge and it’s off to visit Poranna Snowbraid . Yep, she will let me shift-click to open a window that allows me to buy anything from 2 to 200 of Heavy silken thread in 1 action. Does she, mayhaps, have Nylon Thread? Nope, no way.

So, right here is demonstrated the absolutely disgusting way our beloved game has been bastardized to stretch out the time of every single thing in this expansion. Being able to buy a stack of 200 thread is no game breaker. It does not give advantage to anyone as demonstrated by Poranna Snowblind’s sales over those of Daniel Brineweaver.

Here’s the real kicker. On a personal note, I am older player. I have arthritic finger joints. I’ll leave it to your imagination what clicking that BUY button 200 times does to my fingers.

The game developers need to take a long hard look at some of the idiotic things they do.

Please reply with examples of other meaningless time wasting you have found in this expansion.

I don’t have any examples to give because I haven’t bought BfA, but they certainly need to fix that issue asap.

I wonder if it’s a bug? Nah, it’s probably intentional, as you said.

You type 200 in the box and hit enter.

That is a wonderful suggestion. Thank you. Sadly it doesn’t work. The ’ buy box ’ will not allow any modification.

Well, on the broad front, doing any sort of crafting professions seems to be a monumental waste of time. My Warlock blacksmith for example - why even bother learning the high level gear because its useless. Its BoP which my cloth-wearing Warlock cannot use. So what, I’m supposed to dump a professions I’ve spent multiple expansions levelling and getting the patterns for?

Why even do that? Why make a professions that has taken all that time and effort to improve, absolutely useless?

it’s true that BoP crafted gear is poor design.

For me personally, I don’t raid and rarely do dungeons. Professions are a part of the game I enjoy even though I agree with you about them being mostly irrelevant.

When I log in all I do is walk in circles. Clearly this is because there is literally nothing else to do in this game. I wish Blizz had made something to do in this game other than walk in circles. I would settle for a dungeon or a quest or some PvP. But sadly this game only has walking in circles. Yep, nothing else to do…
