Dear Blizz support!
I'm writing this letter with a cry full of tears that comes deep from my soul.
I've played WoW almost a year - started just before the release of TBK. So I couldn't manage to achieve 60th level to feel the real fun of the pre-TBK WoW. For me the game is not just killing mobs or other players - if i needed only this from game I would select other MMORPG. Anyhow, I've started playing just because many people said that the "craft"-part of the World Of Warcraft game is deffinitely great realized in there.
At first I was palying rogue and choosed Alchemy as my main profession. Alchemy was great for me and I really liked to create potions that can expand the abilities of my character. I liked to use many potions - and to be greatly buffed rogue. Nothing really happened when with 2.1 patch GREAT changes in alchemy came - it was abit sad but nerfing this profession improved balance of the whole game.
Now I'm playing Blood Elf paladin, chosed Blacksmithing as my main profession. The fact is that I almost don't use my crafted items. They all seem crap and not needed wasting compared to drop items in Dungeaons. Nevertheless I can still go (this is what I'm doing) to instances and have good drop from bosses to equip my paladin-character. Even on higher levels Armorsmithing - is crap comparing with great chests that drop in raids. There are 1-2 good crafted armor items for paladins other gets from drop - is that good? Weaponsmithing (when Arena 3 set appeared) also seams crap. Better to pass time on Arena or in Raid than to farm resourses for that noninteresting items. I still think that it's unbalance for PVE game but the matter of the letter is in the other thing.
So, when was on levels of 48-50 I fist started to mine Dark Iron. My guildmates said that it was just a waste of time cause all crafted items from Dark Iron are crap comparing with items from Outalnd. By looking at thottbot.com I was enshured of the statement that Dark Iron is crap. And reputation with Thorium Brotherhood is not waste of time - even the great legendary "Sulfuras, Hand of Ragnaros" is crap - that makes TOO MUCH time to gind resourses for it and is needed just for fun.
Now I'm asking you, dear Blizz, can you do something with this no needed items from Dark Iron:
- whether to make spawn of deposits more regular and faster achieving the exalted reputation of Thorium Brotherhood
or (which would be preferable)
- to improve items and Blacksmithing skill required for learning recipies
or (I can't even imagine that you will do such great work)
- to make chain quests that improve that Dark Iron Items and "Sulfuras, Hand of Ragnaros".
Anything of that will make much more gameplay to Blacksmiths such as I am.
Please, leave much time on grinding resourses - but make the result worth of achieving.
Thank you for your game.
Sincerly yours player,
Yuriy.
