You can call us noobs all you want but I think you really lost context of the word.
My issue is that they gave us all that yet they want us to run around level 10 areas anyway? That really seems like an oxymoron, once servants of the Lich King to run around in Elwynn Forest or Trisifal Glades seeking copper mines and killing kobolds on the way! Wow, that’s truly epic.
No, it is not, and it really did not jive with the story. I never said free 225, so stop nitpicking. I thought there should be a respective quest if not a money dump to do this. After all, you first need a level 55 on the server to make a death knight so you should be able to get the gold to handle the quest as well. Lets them continue on into the material they are intended for.

if DK get free 225 prof skill this will mean AH drops to lowest level in WOW history..practically in-game economic disaster. the AH will be full of cheap mats, players will earn lower cash on auctions..this is only good for buyers, not for sellers…
i think DK shouldn’t benefit of this 225 skill free.

People are acting as if death knights haven’t been given enough. With level 55, an epic mount, and weapon skills leveled as well, is complaining about the ever so grueling professions starting from scratch for a Death Knight even logical? It’s not like it is the only class to have to level professions from scratch. All you guys are , are noobs looking for more and more handouts until the game gets so easy its not fun anymore. If Death Knights get free 225 professions, I will be deleting my Death Knight shortly after. (No point in supporting such a thing.)

Going off of Praxis, this is the exact situation I am seeing.
Granted, right now, its beautiful seeing all the unharvested goods in HFP but this is ridiculous. I mean, I spent 4 hours leveling herbalism and mining and I am still no where near 300. It turns out that many people realized what they were missing out and are all attempting to gather these plants and mines for their respective characters. Loop in the lowbies and wow, its just a “prick” fest, people attempting to ninja mines and such.
Really should have started it out at 225.

Now that Wrath is out and ive got my lvl 58 DK, (starting lvl is 55), and I have decided to pick up blacksmithing and mining. Seems like a logical choice to me and I havn’t made a BS before either. Now, im 58 and ready to go rip it up in OL but going there before my mining is 300 is just an undoubted, complete waste. We have to learn and do the profeesions like everyone else also, got them both up to 75 with about an hour and a half. But, yes, people are bitching about us taking “their” prof mats and yes we do have an obvious advantage over them. Which looking at it now I think blizz should have given us up to 225 or SOMETHING. Running around in Durotar taking ore from lowbies is much less desirable than kicking ass in HFP. I absolutley LOVED the DK starting area, sooooo well done and awesome but now having to farm ore to lvl profs is killing the expirence almost. They were nice enough to give us 270 first aid but that was it.
One thing I am looking forward to is killing any alliance that gets between me and my mithril =). One nice aspect I guess but im sure they dont appreciate it…

Alright, I see the potential issues here.
One, let us consider that a Death Knight is starting at level 55.
Two, they will not be allowed to leave the starting area until they are 60 if I recall correctly.
Three, when they do, they will be journeying to outlands to level to 70 and then from there to 80 in Northrend.
Somehow, as a long time World of Warcraft player, I do not see Blizzard caring about anyone’s whining and giving Deathknights a profession fairly easily. They are making leveling easier and easier and I am sure, professions is something they would not want people dipping too much time into.
What do I propose? A quest chain that requires them through lower level areas but not too arduous.
I mean if Blizzard really wanted to, I’d love to see a level 55 version of Van Cleef and such. That would be fun to hit up as long as it was my level. Maybe get the item there.
We will see though, no point in speculating and complaining.

No one is stopping to consider lag and server issues. I am sure everyone has done professions at a high level. But how many of you had to do those professions competing against 5 thousand other high levels in the same area going after the same mats. About 2 years ago servers were crashing due to the dark iron dwarf event at the first brew fest. Sorry but the release of death knights is going to create way way way more issues then that event ever did.

I’ve realized while working on my druid’s inscription (I started when he was level 67 when the patch came out and he’s now 70) that it’s really easy to work on your professions at a high level. It’s much better to bother later on when you have at least the lvl 30 mount (of course an epic mount is better) than when you work on it starting level 6.

I think Death Knights will be fine especially if they wait until they’re at least 60 (like nycon said) to bother with profs since it’s just going to be that much easier as a higher level character.

ok seriously guys… i usually get to 60 THEN worry about my proffs… (when i get epic mount) usually only takes me about 3-4 days of 4-5 hours played each day to farm the mats needed to get to 300… so why should the dk’s get any special attention for proffs? i mean come on they start at lvl 55 AND get their epic mount befor they hit 60..free… whats next you want bliz to just give you a lvl 80 with maxed out proffs and epics? NOT GOING TO HAPPEN you want that kind of cheap crap go play a private server like all the other cry babys who cant do it the real way…
