The passive for saving money makes sense and is very flavorful, but it’s also a lot stronger than people realize.
“I want Retail’s goblin passive racial traits with a bonus Engineering instead of Alchemy.” We already have the savings from no additional Auction House fees or taxes. As someone with ADD and likes guaranteed loot, seeing the blips on my mini-map and knowing that there are chests nearby immediately flips the switch for LootGoblinMode.exe Typically adventurers don’t have a cozy home life, and in vanilla there is a decent amount of struggle to succeed. Goblins are literally motivated to do things for money, and you make money by adventuring, even if said adventuring is just mat farming. “But goblins are cowards, not explorers,” True, but if you are playing as a goblin, you are an adventurer and therefore explore things. If any race besides the dwarves would have the Find Treasure racial in all of Warcraft, the goblins would be first in line. (Assuming that it’s not been looted already, which seems to be the case 1/3 of the time.) Something else to keep in mind is that Find Treasure does not stack with Find Plants or Minerals or any of the Hunter’s Track spells. I’m not sure how it is for other dwarf players, but with Find Treasure active I’m either very disinterested in exploring a cave system or crypt, or leading the charge and cutting down everything between me and the nearest chest to see what goodies await us.
First Wish: For goblins to also have the Dwarf racial Find Treasure.
