I was not invited as an enchanter.<br /><br />@gnomeaggedon: Please excuse me, but I hate comparisons between enchanting and gathering professions. It's a crafting profession and it is the persistent failure to recognize this which has degraded the value of DEing.Klepsacovichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07915576683657376929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-19575906142499410002009-10-12T01:32:22.071-05:002009-10-12T01:32:22.071-05:00"I might have seen that twice in four years.&..."I might have seen that twice in four years."<br />Never, ever seen this.<br /><br />I agree with you to a fair extent.<br /><br />leather workers skin.. but there is no roll.

I'm not even spending reagents there, all it takes is a click of a button t this point. <br /><br />The only reason I stopped DEing for groups lately on my 2 characters with enchanting was becasue people don't care anymore, even if you tell them you can DE. they just roll greed anyways and vendor stuff, becasue they don't feel like bothering with shards I guess?<br /><br />I honestly think that enchanters think waaaay too much of their skill and what they should get out of it. (incidentaly - the bulk of my income comes from selling enchanting mats, so I relaly don't think enchanters have it all that bad. selling enchanting mats is a hella easier then even selling glyphs. listing is free so you don't lose any gold from AH fees from your unsold auctions), you don't have to go through 100 different types just to figure out which ones will be selling today and they sell faster then I can list them becasue people are always enchanting their new upsLeahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00922945261685139416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-50059507155791695522009-10-09T10:01:26.377-05:002009-10-09T10:01:26.377-05:00@Larisa: I'm 99% certain no.

Maybe its those guys why selflessly skinned the beast and handed it over to the winner of the roll or the skinner who handed over free dragon scales for my mount quest when asked during the ubrs run that have lead to me doing so all these years.<br /><br />But financially I have done much better then if I simply greeded everything and got a 20% success rate.<br /><br />From strat and scholo where it was common for the enchanter to keep the proceeds from bop greens to himself and only had over the shards, To wotlk where many groups passed on drean shards so the enchanter and only rolled on the abyss crystal.<br /><br />I happily hand over whatever people roll for and expect the favor returned if I am on alts that cant disenchant.Ngitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13526961657299848611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-73615235237402285722009-10-08T17:32:44.031-05:002009-10-08T17:32:44.031-05:00@GA: On my server greed is for off-spec, so it mak...@GA: On my server greed is for off-spec, so it makes sense to have it take priority over disenchanting.<br /><br />Also, maybe it's because I don't have an enchanter, but I really don't see this as an issue to begin with. I've also had people say stuff like "Oh, you're a LW? Can you make me an armour patch after this run, I got the mats" in pugs and then fulfilled their request free of charge. I always felt that the teamwork required to complete an instance at least temporarily creates a certain kind of camaraderie which also includes the benefit of helping each other out with professions for free.Shintarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16758343475446510635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-58554980598817778262009-10-08T16:57:21.890-05:002009-10-08T16:57:21.890-05:00Personally, I don't volunteer the information ...Personally, I don't volunteer the information that I am an enchanter unless asked, and just click "greed" along with everyone else who assumes there isn't a DE'er in the group. Blue ilvl 200 weapons actually vendor for more than the value of a shard these days, and even crystals are worth maybe 2 daily quests' worth of gold. I don't feel it's worth the responsibility of volunteering to collect and redistribute them, at the risk of someone thinking I'm a ninja if I (or they) forget. <br /><br />As to the new option Dorgol mentions, it's pretty bizarre to have DE below "greed", when almost by definition you want the shard for cash. I guess the community has co-opted the "greed" roll to mean "upgrade that I'm not willing to spend my need roll on".Green Armadillohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15564045048380177626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5462978744516866472.post-31557444270738179772009-10-08T16:35:13.944-05:002009-10-08T16:35:13.944-05:00And this is 2 days too late - news on PTR is that ...And this is 2 days too late - news on PTR is that they are adding a "Disenchant" option to rolling for loot.Dorgolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12936803721440329897noreply@blogger.com
