Sad times for WoW Enchanters

We’re getting ready for World Of Warcraft Expansion: Burning Crusade, due out at the beginning of 2007. Blizzard put out a patch yesterday and scrolling through the changes makes me sad for all the newbie and wannabe enchanters out there. Time was, a new enchanter could increase their skill level and fill their enchanting bags with supplies for the future by disenchanting cheap buys from the auction house (or unusable but bound loot) but alas, it won’t be so easy anymore.

So everyone (including me) who’s been speccing the highest +agi gear they can find is in for a big letdown.
