Dear Mr. or Mrs. Blue;

We know we are not supposed to call you out on the forums but here I feel it is necessary. Engineering is in a pathetic state that is unrivaled by any other profession before at any point in wow. Many of us <Engineers> have stayed mellow and calm for the 3.1 ptr testing while others among us have vented frequently and furiously on these forums. It is hard to stay calm and come here week after week downloading the updated version of the ptr and looking at the patch notes and still not seeing anything for engineering. Anyone can go to the profession forums and see the <Goblins> and <Gnomes> are ready to band together by sending a gnome piloted helicopter strapped full of goblin sappers straight into Blizzard HQ. HUZZAH!

In all seriousness, how hard is it to grant <Engineers> the same stat bonuses that other professions do? The +50stam, +64 ap, + 46 spell power. Can anyone tell the difference between a <Gnome> and <Goblin> <Engineer> anymore? What about all these awesome mechanical things in Uluduar but they cannot teach me anything new??!! The armor enchant that <Engineers> can apply to gloves gives me a grand total of .85 mitigation on the ptr. I have to give up an +18 stam enchant to use it as well. I fail to see the logic here.

Mr. Blue we <Engineers> would really hate to have April First come around again only to find another <Tin Foil Hat> awaiting us. Alas, if there are zero plans for engineer in 3.1 just politely and kindly let us know. I am currently in the process of buying the mats to power level jewel crafting for 3.1. It would be much easier if I could know that engineering will bring my raid little benefit in 3.1 so I could start leveling jewel crafting now rather than guestimating the materials I will need.

- Signed the <Gnomish> <Engineer> piloting the helicopter

P.S.
Can you tell me where the Professions research and development team are located in the building? :D

EDIT

“Now cracks a noble heart. Good-night sweet prince”

Alas, this world hardly knew thee; this world was not good enough for you

I need a hug, I feel cold and naked

*New PTR Build*

Hand-Mounted Pyro Rocket now deals 1440 to 1760 Fire damage (Up from 1035 to 1265), cooldown lowered from 1 min to 45 sec.

Right before BC came out, engineers were similarly up in arms.

That's when they gave us smoke flares. Sure, better stuff came much later, but I'm just saying try not to rile Blizz too much on the subject.

I'm kinda disappointed at the lack of the Elemental/Tribal/Dragonscale LW as well.

I still want DRAENEI ENGINEERING!

Same as a blacksmith/Weaponsmith and master Axesmith... Profession specialization is pointless now :(

Goblin = Stuff that blows up
Gnomish = Stuff that backfires
Draenei = Stuff that crashes

I could totally see it.

Yes, the Exodar worked so well.

They crashed their ship and wrecked an eco system...no one wants Draenei engineers running loose. (Not that the gnomes or goblins are any less of a menace but they are already in the system. :-P)

Seriously, how is that any worse than Goblins and Gnomes?

Yeah - at least we Gnomes kept our radioactivity largely contained in the remains of our capital city.

---

Q u o t e:


Yes, the Exodar worked so well.

---

Technically, that's Naaru Engineering.

---

Q u o t e:


Technically, that's Naaru Engineering.

---

So technically, it would be Naaru Engineering.

Yeah, and now look at you! Your eyes are glowi-

... Oh? Death Knight?

Nevermind, then.

Q u o t e:


Technically, that's Naaru Engineering.

You totally know the Draenei pulled a Tim the Toolman and tried to make it "better"...it was working fine until it got into the hands of alien goats.

I still say this...

Gnomish engineers alone should have roflcopters. Not all engineers.

Goblin engineers alone should have rocket-mounts. Not just people with a cardgame.

Gnomish engineers should have mechanostriders. Not just Alliance engineers.

Goblin engineers should have... hm... ...I'll get back to you on that.

Shredders would be appropriate, I think.

Q u o t e:

Nothing works well when you have a bunch of blood elves fighint u all the time during what should be a joyfull trip.
Especially if they sabot the main engine.

---

Q u o t e:
Shredders would be appropriate, I think.

---

Yes, that's right. I knew what they were, but couldn't think of the name.

---

Q u o t e:

It's called "Jewelcrafting". Pretty good, stuff, makes some rockin' trinkets, rings, necklaces and such.

---

Q u o t e:

Goblin = Stuff that blows up
Gnomish = Stuff that backfires
Draenei = Stuff that crashes

I could totally see it.

I do every time I hit the Nesingwary camp in the Basin.
