There are a few things different.  The most important being BOE and BOP.  BOE means that all that leather that was used to create that crafted item once used, cannot be re-sold or handed down as things were in D2.

I guess my point was that a lot of people (myself included) see the idea of going a production profession (other than Engineering for obvious reasons) is a waste of time and effort. I originally started out with Skinning/Leather Working on my Rogue but soon dropped it once I realized that the number of useful items created as I leveled it up was pitifully small. Many people then choose not to go production professions, pick up two gathering professions and therefore flood the market with raw materials, subsequently plummeting the prices.

When I think back to my D2 days of my friends and I constantly switching and borrowing each other's gear, it seems so absurd after playin WoW for so long. Making BoP and BoE, while annoying at times, really was a stroke of genius by Blizzard.

Now I wish more crafted items were BOE, so that professions were even more useful. Maybe even items could wear out over time.

I was under the impression that all crafted items were BoE. Some require Blacksmithing/Engineering XXX to use but I thought those were the only constraints (and those are few and far between for Blacksmithing) that existed.
