Engineers: What I'd like to see

[Vespias]

Hoping that Cataclysm brings a bit of a change for engineers. First of all, can anybody explain how an engineer can create something as complex as a gun yet be unable to make a staff or bow? What i really want to see are engineers getting the simple weapons, bows, staffs, and polearms and please please PLEASE not BoP. Would love to make my hunter a really bangin epic bow and the socket ability of blacksmiths would really make it special. Also, I'd like to see a BoP version of the chopper that would cost less than the BoE version. Along the lines of the armor kits LWs make. With those changes I'd also like to see the ability to make some of the gadgets that are currently considered tinkering transferable to scrolls like enchants are. Your thoughts?

well in cata we get to tinker our trinkets hopefully add a socket to them or something or atleast like the cloack tinker gief us something nice like +23 agi on the back maybe trinkets give +40 ap like the enchanters can do

I always thought things like bows, staves, etc should be craftable, but I don't think it'd fit into engineering. Maybe a new trade skill like, say, Woodcarving. Which could also include things like trinkets and one-time use items too, I'd bet. Which could even cause a new gathering profession to be born, too, just to collect the wood materials to carve these items.

Engineering seems to have limitless possibilities. I think they want to keep it less profitable and more op for personal items like the helicopters and stuff, but that's frustrating for everyone. They should let you guys make things like boots and gloves for everyone and ranged weaponry with special effects. Also thrown weapons aren't shown much love by anyone maybe engineering could spice it up with some boe ones. I'd really love to see a mechano gnome minni pet you guys could sell, but that's not likely to happen.

Id be happy if we get some NR seaforium. Also the ability to make Xbows/bows/more ranged weapons with higher ilvls

A TARDIS, sonic screwdriver and a K9.

Some better weapons would be nice. A BoE flyer, more minipets. . .There are lots of things I'd love to see.

If they'd put woodcarving in the game, I'd drop LW for it in a heartbeat for it.
