A Couple of Random Things

[lemekim]

Second...In reading the WoW boards a little bit ago, I came across an interesting post. Basically, the OP was someone who trained Gnomish Engineering up to 300, decided he wanted to go Goblin, unlearned the profession, relearned the profession, and worked his way up to 225, only to find that his choice of Gnomish didn't reset.

Blizz says that it's not SUPPOSED to reset, regardless if you abandon the profession with that C. That the choice is permanent (which the trainer says, apparently, I've not taken any production profession high enough to know for sure) but that the intuitive logic leap is that the choice is permanent while you know that profession. If you unlearn the profession, you 'unlearn' ALL aspects of it.

So what do you think? I can see good arguements for both sides, and was wondering what the rest of the Lurkers thought about it.

The original poster wanted to trick the system, and it did not work. So now he is upset that it didn't. That's my interpretation of what happened. It's his fault for not understanding that permanent is actually PERMANENT.

That said, the consideration for being able to take only one path from what I've seen is the fact that you would be able to get Bind-on-Pickup trinkets from both Gnomish and Goblin Engineering. Same applies for Blacksmithing (some weapons and armors are BoP). With normal (green) and pretty much most crafted rare items this is not overpowering, but I can see how this can get serious with some rare and epic items, especially in the future when new recipies are added.
