Up on the Professions section of the European World of Warcraft Forums, engineers have extracted the profession change notes for incoming 2.1.0 patch and have commented on each of the changes. But you really don't have to read between the lines to know that engineers aren't happy about the changes.

Okay, so engineers did complain that profession stagnation could be solved by adding more recipes. Engineers now have 11 new epic goggles, Frost Grenades and Icy Blasting Primers to create, but none of them are really worth boasting to other professions. Why? It's because the items (besides the goggles) won't probably sell.

Engineering, in itself, entails all the processes of planning, designing, and finally creating something that would further the good of a race, but taking into mind the viability, feasibility, and economy for undergoing such projects. Everything is possible with engineering, it's just not easy to afford everything.

So if the new recipes for freezing explosives require expensive ingredients for a short effect, people won't use them. They've mentioned these before in the engineer woes posts and it seems that ingredient costs aren't going to change. Engineering costs a lot of money.

But since Blizzard said that more changes will be introduced "over time," let's see if they can finally deliver something worthwhile to the highest on their priority update list.
