We NEED to be able to reset our profession knowledge. This needs to happen ASAP.
I’m literally stuck with my tailoring. I can’t go anywhere. I have zero recipes that I can craft that can increase my skill to the point where I can even learn anything else. The only way that I can learn anything else is by putting my profession knowledge into another specialization but I can’t get into another specialization until I get my profession skill up.
I’m literally stuck and the only way that I can get myself unstuck is to reset my profession knowledge so I can fix it. Otherwise my profession will be stuck until further notice.
Really guys. You really need to stop being so stubborn on these things. Give us players the option to reset out knowledge points whether it be on some kind of like weekly reset or something at least.
We NEED the option to reset our knowledge points for our professions.

Ya I agree, honestly not planning to stick around to 10.1 to see it implemented, if at all. Crafting was a huge part of my gaming in WoW but they really made me hate it even more than SL.

yeah, reset it on a whelm so people can abuse the system even more.

Really? When you filter by “Has skill-up”, there are no recipes shown that are not tied to a different knowledge points node / tree?
Did you check the auction house, or faction rewards? If everything falls, recrafting a spark item is always an option.

Stuck profs aside, kick yourself in the face when you realize that the ‘ooh that sounds cool’ of planting seeds in Herbalism isn’t something like the Panda farm or the groves in Legion but rather a hellish hunt for soil plots that then grow some random herb with no modifiers. My herbalist has scores of seeds and almost never finds the rich soil to plant the stupid things.

AFAIK, the nodes are always near the same spots, but don’t take my word for this.
All I know is that I usually come across the same ones in Ohn’ahran plains, there should be coordinates online for them if you’re really that stocked up in seeds, but I don’t think they’re all up at the same time.
They should at least give a limited point refund. Like a few points a week or month.

Once a week is too often, It should be gold to respec, or time gated…
Once a season/every 4 months at the soonest…to avoid the exploitation of said swapping…

It needs to be every month or so or whenever a change occurs to a profession.
Take Herb/Cultivation branch for example. When the game first launched there are lots of seeds that get dropped in herb node and plenty of rich soil. But I believe a week ago all that got nerfed and I haven’t seen a seed after farming for an hour. If I knew that was going to happen, I wouldn’t have invested so much in the cultivation branch. So now I am screwed with putting so much points early on in a branch because Blizzard decide to nerf it in a whim.
As much as it sounds like a good idea, no, Because it would be VERY easy to exploit it.
Be able to dump all your knowlege points into one specilization so that you can learn a bunch of things, do all the first crafts, reset knowelge points, do it in the other specializations, reset your points, dump them into the one that makes it so you can max your skill to upgrade to max level an item that you got before you reset and would not have been able to other wise.
It way to easy to exploit, you dont need to max everything in the first month of release. Just enjoy the slow ride.

Meh, they could put it on a 90 day cooldown from the time you hit “yes I am sure I want to respec” and am aware I cannot for another 90 days, as well as make a respec penalty of lost points or something…
It’s the one’s who are cornering the market that don’t want respecs and are exploiters in the first place don’t ya think? The ones who are ooo it’s a great system and I am maxed at everything and making billions…I am like ya ok, whatever, I call bs, because I play ALOT and am nowhere near maxed, aside from being on a low pop server…
No we don’t
No, it doesn’t
Skill has nothing to do with learning new recipes. They come from kp and renown.
You will live. I promise.

You apparently didn’t even read exactly what I wrote. I literally can’t do anything else to gain skill so I can learn any new recipe. So I’m literally stuck. So this further just shows me you only came here just cause you wanted to troll. Thanks for wasting valuable time in my life that will be lost forever. Great job!
No amount of +skill will get you a new recipe.

Not to be abrasive but yes, this should have already been an option. To do the whole “make choices with consequence” theme failed in a spectacular way in the last expansion.
Regardless, can we get this put in the game? It woudl be a step in the right direction.
Easy to exploit it?
You mean like the people that got in Beta and got to test the system out hands on, then wrote crappy guides on how it works claiming actual crafting (Inscription, Leatherworking, etc …) were good money makers (Sure maybe they were on Beta where you were on high pop servers) but in reality the only actual professions you can max out is Herbalism, Mining and Skinning?
Or do you mean all the bots that exploit the mining and herbalism nodes by flying under the world to gather resources so they don’t get caught? Don’t you think after 3 days of release and a single seller has over 150,000 of the same herb that something failed with blizzards plans to slow down profession leveling?
As for “enjoy the slow ride” I would be fine with that, if it applied to everyone but it did not now did it? What about all the people that exploited the rep system to max out rep to get patterns then blizzard patches it a month or so later allowing the exploiters to keep the rep / patterns?
The point is the system has already exploited to the point that professions are worthless now when it comes to making gold, too many people made mistakes due to lack of information on the new system not to mention all the exploiters knew exactly what to go after on launch and flooded the AH with those items at an insane prices making if very difficult to profit off professions for people who did not exploit or get into the beta.
At this point allowing us a one time respec would allow many of us to make progress with our professions and actually be able to gain skill in it, instead of being stuck at a specific point with no available path to level it so I do not believe for one second that allowing a one time respec would allow people to exploit it seeing that it’s already been exploited massively, It’s not like respecing is going to cause everyone to suddenly put in work orders.

This needs to happen ASAP.
Not 10.1, Not 10.2, This NEEDS to be implemented in 10.0.3.
Obviously it could be abused if you could respec constantly but I think that having a long cooldown, weekly, bi-weekly, or even monthly would be okay and really wouldn’t effect the markets too much. It just feels so bad knowing you spent your points incorrectly because you didn’t really understand the system. There is no room for experimentation or anything.
For me, by the time I figured out what was good and what wasn’t through Trial & error, too late…
there should be a 1 time reset option (no charge), then later in expansion some kind of mechanism - maybe rare boss loot or something tradeable on AH
