JC change

[Frostitude]

In the next major content patch we will be removing the prismatic quality of the jewelcrafter-only Dragon’s Eye gems. Like other gems, they will have to match the socket color to receive a socket bonus. When this change occurs, players with qualifying jewelcrafting skill will be provided a yet to be determined amount of Dalaran Jewelecrafter Tokens as compensation.

i was going to change lmgdao professions but i dont think so now

[Firecrest]

Did they say why?

[Hitshade]

The only way in fucking hell this would be good, is if they remove the unique (x3) restriction. Im so fucking glad I spent gold leveling this profession, only for those dragon's eye's, to have blizz announce they are going to yank it away, with no apparent explanation.

Maybe they cant find a way to make engineering good, so they're just going to nerf every other profession possible, in order to compensate. Inc extra BS sockets no longer craftable. You will have the sockets removed and be compensated an unspecified amount of copper ore.

Starshard Edge is better anyway.

All of the other professions were more or less in-line with each other but we felt Jewelcrafting with the disabling of meta-gem requirements and the easy ability to hit 3 socket bonuses on top of getting stats from the Dragon's Eye gems put it clearly above every other profession

While there is a time to buff things, if anytime there was a balance issue and we only buffed things, the numbers would rise at a rapid rate and get out of control. There is a time to buff things, but when we feel one thing is too far ahead, it's time for a nerf, which we know is never popular, but we feel it needs to be done.

Grats, when it's already gonna be bad once epic gems come out.
