I hoped they will listen to the players, and abandon the crab system of DF completely, but as it seems (I don’t have kulak access, just reading the internet) every aspect I hated are returning, including the quality level, the superhard levelling, the gatekeeping with the point system, and the damned hogger-mogger spark bullship.
This will be the second expansion where I won’t bother with professions that much, that’s coming fom a player that has has character for each profession, whic were all leveled up in every expansion till Dragonflight.
On a casual level professions will be as usleless as they were in DF.
