Yeah, they should just be learnable by any character. Only craftable by skilled crafter.
You’re right, there is no fun in recipes that you can’t use or trade to someone who can use it.
I wasn’t disagreeing. I would very much like it if they replaced BoP with Warband-bound. Everything that is BoP should be warband, then once you equip/use it becomes soulbound. That way the AH don’t get flooded with things that couldn’t be on the AH in the first place, but you still get something from looting something you couldn’t use on the char you were playing
