Additional question why is this trinket still BiS by far 15 levels later?
So I played ret on my pala in p1 but I am playing Holy now because healers are in huge need. I still have the AP trinket from P1 as that was the obvious choice at the time. I cannot do this quest again to get a different one, and it is still BiS an entire phase later.
The current cost of changing it to the healing trinket is 75g. That is absolute madness, with the mount cost changes next week that means it is by far the most expensive item in the game. You can level most professions and get the epic head item from Gnomer while buying all mats along the way for less. The historic gold sinks, such as learning all of your skills and buying your mount cost less.
Where is the logic in this? SoD is quite literally a game type that encourages trying and playing new specs and you make it very annoying and stupidly costly to do so with this trinket for no reason. Allow us to complete the quest multiple times while making the trinkets unique so you can’t have the SP and + healing equipped at the same time.
For reference, if you wanted to raw farm 75g the way the current SW bots do it you would need to do 17 runs of Stockades which is over 4 hours of farming for most people…to swap 1 trinket over. I can easily afford this but refuse to pay for it. Also with the current trend of reducing the cost of things I am put off as if it does get reduced I’m suddenly feeling like I’ve thrown gold away.
This game does not need such massive gold sinks.
They said in the dev interview that they don’t want people complaining about having to swap trinket every time they respec. That’s why they made it cost so much. They don’t want you swapping trinkets like crazy. The game DOES need gold sinks. This is vanilla not retail.
More to the point why buy anything when they will probably nerf it next week.

I noticed a lack of healers in P2 so me and my friend wanted to respec healer but if it’s gonna cost us 75g just for the trinket we decided to not bother. Cba healing in an AP trinket, doesn’t work with my OCD.
Guess Blizz doesn’t want people to respec or something. They want us to start a new char from lvl 1 and level with the xp boost and cheap mount.
better question, why would you EVER need to exchange it?
sounds like you made a mistake that will now cost you 75g, or getting over it.
choose one.
Because I played ret in P1 but holy now in P2. Read the post I answered the question there too.
so you’re missing an extremely small amount of power, dang!
It’s still an annoyance as there are no usable trinkets in P2. We obviously see the game in different ways, you don’t have to be an a-hole about it.
well of course it’s annoying.
Blizzard still has no idea how to do loot after 20+ years, it’s kinda impressive really.
Maybe in phase 3 when the raid is 3-4 bosses, one of them will drop a trinket?
I mean I’m pretty certain they have added a huge amount of pointless items in raids, specifically p1 (p2 is admittedly a lot better) just to keep the spirit of classic despite the fact everyone hated it. No one wants a str-spirit cloak 
GDKP is bad…it drives RMT. Also let’s make sure mount/trinket/gnomer patterns and crafting costs close to 300g.

Can you stop with this nonsense? I don’t even play retail but there are mounts in retail that are much more a gold sink than anything in Vanilla.

Lol people have millions of gold in retail. We dont in vanilla. To 99% of people a mount is a gold sink and is effective in vanilla because you cant just buy gold.
Blizzard does want you to buy gold if you don’t understand that you have really been living under a rock
Totally! Thats why theyre banning good buyers in sod!
There is two trinkets out of gnomer that could easily replace the pearl trinket from BFD.
You have options, that pearl isn’t your only one.
The retail boogeyman is kinda tiring. It literally doesn’t matter what point your making, you can always blame it on retail.
Too hard: Go back to retail for LFR
Too easy: Go back to retail for Mythic
Raids too small: Go back to retail for flex raids of 30 people or mythic 20 people
Future raids too big: Go back to retail for flex raids of 10 people
Too much gold in the economy: Go back to retail where a single mount can cost 2.5M gold
Too many gold sinks: Go back to retail where there’s nothing to spend gold on
Don’t like the new abilities: Go back to retail where there’s no real choice
Want to experiment more or have more than one spec: Go back to retail where you can change talents on the fly

They didn’t ban anyone buying 100g or whatever. If you buy 5k sure they might ban you. Here’s the thing, they want gold buying/botting happening for more subscriptions but they want it out of sight and out of mind
GDKP was becoming too much of an issue for them to deal with. New ticket every 10 min of someone ninja looting 200g. Not a good look
Which two for a holy paladin that come close? There is only the combustion chamber that is close and to take it over any DPS as holy is trolling.
