Byebye enchanting?

With the new 3.3 enchanting change (disenchant rolling), I don't see any reason to keep my enchanting. I (as a Hunter) will lose 80AP, but looking to other professions, enchanting ain't the best of them anyway (one of the better ones tho..)
Why?
Well, because I can't make money from it anymore. Don't start about fees since that's not how you make money with enchanting. Playing the AH by buying cheap greens? Sure, but people have become smarter and won't put greens up under the enchanting mat price. At least, not on my realm.
So, where did I make those thousands and thousands of gold from? Easy, a pug raid/heroic where everyone forgets about shards, and I walk away happily with 20 of them after a speedrun in naxx. Sure, it's a bit mean but they forgot anyway and I think it's bull!@#$ enchanters shouldn't get rewarded for having leveled up enchanting, which is very expensive.
So, no more money from shards. At least, not in the way I used to get the money.
Hello mining? Might drop my Engi as well for JC then..

So
you're
one of those people that gives enchanters a bad name.
Farm rare enchants. Sell scrolls.
Sell scrolls of non-rare enchants.
Profit.
I'm not happy about the 3.3 changes, as I feel I should be offered some choice, but a lot of the reason it came to this was people doing exactly what you did- ninja'ing shards to make a profit.

Why did you have to make a new thread about this subject? There is already a like 7 pages long thread full of enchanters QQing about it.

I've tried selling rare scrolls (Mongoose, Blade Ward, ect) but the 5-10 other enchanters that have those recipes just undercut the hell out of me, and it's just too damn annoying. Especially this one guy who I'm pretty sure is a bot, who seems to love undercutting everyone by 1 silver. (I always, ALWAYS see him at the Exodar AH, and nowhere else. He sits around there for hours and hours on end.)

It is not a bot, it is just an AH camper, read greedy goblin to learn how to get ride of those.

What exactly am I supposed to read, there? It just seems to be a blog by some guy about AH and Inscription, nothing about handling AH campers.

Those aren't the right rares to sell.
Go for rare twink enchants, like the Violet Ward faction enchants, Thorium Brotherhood faction enchants, and Molten Core raid drops.

Yeah, I've got all of the Thorium Brotherhood rep enchants, along with Crusader, Fiery, ect. I need to get SP to weap and gloves, though.
But does twink stuff really sell, now that twinks are pretty much useless?

You have to read more than the front page.
It is the blog of Greedy Goblin, Gevlon. He talks about economy in wow.

Wah wah enchanting costs so much to level, wah wah the materials won't sell for insane amounts any more. I'm entitled to all unneeded loot because I rolled a certain profession let me roll on your herbs and ore and skin and cloth wah wah wah.
Why is it that I've never come across an enchanter ingame as annoying and whiny as the ones I come across on forums?
You know how other professions make money? Selling their trade, earning tips, or BY CHOOSING A GATHERING PROFESSION. If you want exclusive rights for your disenchant materials, STOP CHARGING ME A FEE when I enchant with you. And stop thinking you have the right to roll greed any more than anyone else.

I dont know whats with these crybaby enchanters nowadays. I have a maxed out enchanter and i have no problem with the new loot system. All it means is that i wont have to scrounge around my bags to find all the stuff i need d/e at the end of the run.
I dont charge for enchanting as long as the buyer has the mats and i dont expect a tip, if i get one great. Maybe im one of those that doesnt count on my profession to make me my money. Gold is not hard to come by these days if thats your problem.
But this whining needs to stop, as well as these ninja tactics because you'll just end up ignored and blacklisted.

I've never ever asked for a fee yet.

On the first page theres not a single one about how enchanting will net less money now. (And dont go link the crap that just talks about the new change now, since this is about another subject, and I know how you always like to troll).

Free Disenchant for all!
is on the front page.
And fyi, I barely ever troll. Truth without sugar coating around it so you can swallow it without QQ do not equal trolling darling.
Making a thread about an subject that is already discussed on the forum (what you did) is trolling.
