Bravo! First time I've never been able to finish blacksmithing in years. I'm an average player and bad in rated battle grounds and some raid content. Pretty tough to finish.
Getting to 800 means nothing admitting you took years to do so is nothing to be bravo about,, legion crafting is a time gated mess with more rng and rep gating and overpriced ridiculous mats that give each class a whopping 1 piece of gear,, by far the worst system for crafters ever in the history of wow. worst development team ever,,just more of the same that has been a failure throughout legion to date,,clearly crafting as professions go is no longer a big part of making items for gold and only gathering is viable and even that is being made harder to maintain with less and less items being crafted from gathered mats,,MoP was the best crafters ever had it and despite some profitable upgrade items that sold well in WoD,,Legion has been absolutely terrible to crafting overall,, the rank system alone has just about broken profs with its godawful design let alone all the useless gating and other nonsense,,i was hoping they might eventually see some shortcomings but 7.3 is just more of the same with even more limitations,,Legion feels like Elite jerks were ask how to design profs,,you know the ones who do nothing but raid and hate everything else wow has offered in the past,,guess they finally got their way with mythics r us that wow is now.

Jewelcrafting gets to build helms that don't require the skill to be used, where the way too expensive 880 engineering googles require Engineering(1) to be used?
Sometimes I really have to wonder if they actually realize what they're doing.
they do because years ago when they talked about ENG goggles not requiring ENG 1 to use a small vocal group of Engineers threw a gigantic hissy fit on the forums complaining Blizz was ruining the fun of Engineering allowing non-engineers to use the fun engineering stuff
that had f all to do with the goggle but with other enginering perks
no there was a very vocal group that was very upset that non-engineers would be able to use googles. Have to remember this was before transmog too, and some engineers were loudly protective of "their' look.
