The Future of Warcraft Announcements -- Professions Update

I saw an interesting post over on the General Discussion Forum and wanted to provide some feedback regarding the post over there in this thread as it pertains to this particular topic!

The first thing noted in the thread was to remove the Daily along with Weekly lockouts for materials for profession related items from older expansions!

My Thoughts: I strongly agree with this. I don’t see why materials from older expansions should be gated behind Dailies or Weekly lockouts still. Such materials I’m referring to are the Cooking Daily currencies from the Dailies for the Cooking profession.

Instead of only being able to do (1) Cooking Daily from a city of your choice from your Alliance or Horde capital cities, You should be able to complete each Cooking Daily each day from every city. This would make getting the Cooking Materials to level up your older Cooking Recipes quicker.

Same with leveling up Fishing as well for doing the Fishing Daily Quests. You should be able to do all of them rather than just the (1) from your Alliance or Horde capital cities.

On top of this, Any materials that have a limit you can make per day and/or week should be removed from older professions. I don’t see the reasoning why there should be a limit on those still. Have the limit only on gear that is relevant to the current expansion and then when that expansion ends remove the said restrictions then.

Second thing mentioned was to remove Bind on Pickup on crafted gear from older expansions and older dropped recipes!

My Thoughts: This would be yet another nice thing to see happen in-game. There is a lot of transmog collectors out there such as myself as I enjoy collecting stuff in-game. There is a lot of older gear however that you cannot get however unless you learn the profession and then the recipe to create the gear as they are Bind on Pickup still.

If you have other professions and don’t wish to drop it just to learn these specific pieces of gear, Then this is an issue. Older gear shouldn’t be Bind on Pickup when created with older profession recipes.

Last thing mentioned in the thread is to restore the “Upgrade” forms for Warlords of Draenor crafted gear and weapons.

My Thoughts: This should have been resolved quite some time ago. I’m unsure as to why it hasn’t as of yet. I’m one of those players that did not manage to collect all of those appearances back then, And at this current time, I’m now unable to.

I do know this was promised to be resolved in Battle for Azeroth as mentioned in the thread over on the General Discussion Forum. So I’m really hoping this is fixed in Dragon Flight!

For those wondering which thread I’m referring to, It is This One! Feel free to read it and see the comments by the rest of the World of Warcraft Community. I hope the WoW Development Team reads it as well for some further feedback! :slight_smile:
