nothing to do with engineering just the vendor part

   if people happen to be out and need to respec a bit for the 
particular dance they are going to do.

It also gives engineers access to their bank.

I tried the luck pots but as you said not much result, the need to 
pushpushpush to get some hoped for benefit outweighed any payoff I 
found. Maybe some big RNG hit , but then you can always get world drops 
anyway so who knows if it would have come around anyway..
  When expecting or just casually hanging around waiting on a callout 
one way to guarantee it happening is to pop some expensive pot or start 
some 10 minute encounter. Get in just enough to die on afk, reality taps 
you on the shoulder.

   Nooooo, say it isn't so I just got alchemy
   Actually it seems a lot more entertaining :-)
   Yeah the top end stuff is pretty much it as far as selling goes, but 
I tend to stick with mats and ah. Interruptable things.

  They will do whatever they decide , what I would find appealing counts 
very little to the psychologists watching the daily and weekly use 
stats. I wonder if they count confused afk while looking up wowhead?

  I suspect a profession squish , maybe a bit more interdependence to 
encourge multiple prof alts. Things that simplify, maybe not a good 
think but less maintenance.
  I think the complexity and the long road of useless stuff turns people 
off, the question is how to make what you did before seem useful instead 
of a now useless stepping stone.
  I can guess but if I knew I would be doing it instead of talking :-)
