Engineering a Chopper (a mini rant)Follow

Oh noes, you can't make a profit with a primary trade skill! Who'dathunkit?

Seriously, most of us know that engineering it the biggest gold sink for the lowest ROI next to blacksmithing. You can, however, make a lot of neat and fun items with engineering, including combat items, pets, and teleports. If you want to make money, you'd be better off selling mats. But the same can honestly be said about practically all of the primary crafting skills. And VERY few players either have the money to buy/make a chopper, or the desire to do so. It's a niche-market item, and most of the people you could potentially sell to already bought theirs. You're a few months behind the first few that came out.

It's a neat toy though! I've made a friend with a chopper-owner, and riding side-along is actually pretty fun. Best of luck with the selling!

My only concern with the chopper is that I will make one and the next day Blizz will announce that they are lowering the cost/amount of mats required so that I will have wasted 13500G for something that now requires 5000 in mats. Probably won't happen for a while, but it happened with the flying machine didn't it?

That said it looks pretty damn cool and I do want one, just not sure if I really want to spend 13500G on that or if I want to waste it on other fun things in the game.

Someone came through and karma-bombed everyone; rating you all back up.
Edit: Except Redbaron's last post.
