I guess it would pay to have an enchanter on hand to de them? Low level enchanting mats still sell ok on my server. Hope they do something about this come Cataclysm.

Some crafted items, which were Best In Slot for a number of levels (say Shining Silver Breastplate) are no longer selling and that’s not even speaking of the uncommon crafted chest pieces, shoulders, and weapons which are now obsolete.

I believe Blacksmithing, Leatherworking, and Tailoring are now professions for the rich because of it is very difficult to recover a significant portion of your costs when levelling these professions.

I believe the situation will only get worse in Cataclysm.

Although it does not affect me personally, it is sad newcomers do not have as many decent options as I did when I started playing.

I’d test out how I compare to the others in dungeons, but at this level queues are horrible even for healers, and I suck mightily at shadow, so it wouldn’t be a very useful experiment.

I did notice the last time we ran anything on our heirloom-geared priest + warrior that you could tell which people had heirlooms because they’d top the damage charts, but it wasn’t quite as noticeable at 60.

For my ~45 priests most gear in dungeons is either a bit better or a bit worse than my heirlooms – mostly worse, but not by much.
