Scrap-O-Matic needs removed

As the title suggests, i am saying that the scrapper needs to be removed from the game, not only does it trivialise gathering professions but also the expulsom it provides is actively hostile to the community.

I do not enjoy having to deny people an upgrade because I can change a 325 into a 340 AND sell that item, it was a stupid design and should not have made it through the design phase.

Yeah, last time I scrapped some armour the expulsom I got from it insulted my mother and ran around boralus kicking people in the shins. It was so hostile towards everyone it made me cry…

Unless you actively farm for armor pieces you don’t get a lot of stuff. So it gives you alternative to gathering but mostly for your armor type. I like that I can scrap items I don’t want to and get some stuff from it.

You’re a greedy bastard aren’t you? I never denied an upgrade for someone if that wasn’t an upgrade for me. The only bad part is the fact tha I can’t scrap items because I have to disenchant them for mats and that doesn’t give expulsom.

So you are suggesting that i then do another dungeon, then once again give away my expulsom so then i have to do a 3rd dungeon to which i have to once again give away that expulsom meaning that yet again I need to do another dungeon which naturally, i give away the expulsom… because the only place to farm expulsom is from the scrapper and it cannot be traded.

Before you know it, ive done 50 dungeons and still haven’t actually gotten any expulsom which is a requirement of just about all of the high level patterns, i mean if I want the 355+ stuff i need to do this 30 and 40 times+. How do you suggest I craft and actually earn any gold if I constantly give away the items that are required to get a crafting material that cannot be traded?

Think you are mixing up something, you dont get expulsom from dungeons.

Expulsion is mainly from scrapping trinkets or the ocasional wq reward.
Sitting on over 300 expulsom myself with little to use them on.

expulsom can be scrapped from the dungeon items, combine the tanking bag and the azerite gains and it is effectively the best way to get everything for a tank.

So essentially wasting my time doing world quests will take alot longer to get less stuff, as a blacksmith, all of my new 340 patterns require me to use expulsom which means I have no choice but to keep as much of it as possible in order to craft and sell it to get people higher gear than the 325 dungeons would have given.

you do realize you could just create your cheapest bs pattern and scrap it in bulk?

It’s been the same with enchanting since day dot.

except from that contradicting the point in my wanting to GAIN gold from it not lose it, i would have to spend countless hours farming the wrong materal also.

enchanters have not needed a resource that cannot be traded tho, all crystals, dusts and shards can be traded for ease of crafting

Why would you farm dungeons for items to get expulsium. That’s insanely slow and an aweful way of doing it. Find a BoE farm of 5 People, and you’ll get 100+ greens in an hour. Or farm dungeons for 4/5 blues an hour…

I think the main problem here is that you think dungeons is a decent way to get Expulsom.

“Mind if I have that item?!”
“Naw mate, I’d have to run another dungeon if I traded it to you!” (said no one ever)

Why is it normally people that haven’t thought things through proposing changes to the game?

My freshly dinged alt has like 50 expulsium already. There are many ways to get it. Check wowhead, even some of the replies have offered options already.

Now…whenever you decide to do that and go get your expulsium or attack the scrap-o-matic and find 101 excuses for any solution offered here, is up to you.

Because the rest usually fixed the issue themself.

why would I sit around for an eternity grinding mobs as a blacksmith when I should be Mining the resources I need?

Coz then I have to go mining for hours, farm mobs for hours and then somehow find time for the actually interesting stuff like dungeons… It’s basically double the work of just having all the blacksmith stuff just coming out of mining. That way I just farm the ores, craft the items and then go do whatever while it sells rather than doing 2 seperate grinds and being bored stiff with the game since i get no time to do the actual content that way.

“Why should I put some effort in getting something? I WANT STUFF NOAW!”

…a common philosophy here

removed? how about a portable version instead? :wink:

Nothing to do with the part I quoted.

They can remove welfare epics from warfronts too, bring back value to raiding, pvp and high end keys K ty.

You are missing the point, after mining the ore, I have already put the effort in. Adding an unnecesary component to craft generic gearing items only serves to frustrate people even more, it’s bad enough that these patterns require you to do pvp to get rank 3 for what is inherently PvE content.

I have already got the resources and expulsom only serves to make me scrap dungeon items because standing around killing mobs in the same spot is just stupid and uninteresting in comparison to running dungeons and providing a tanking service.

Lets weigh this up tho, would you rather have an extra high geared tank running dungeons or would you rather that tank is messing around in the world because that is where you get the “best expulsom rate”.

OP, dungeons is not a good way of gaining expulsom, you are just needlessly gimping yourself as already said.
