I leveled up Inscription a while back. I've been dutifully doing my Inscription research every day for many, many days. Many. Days. I still don't have Glyph of Penance.
So I respec my PVP spec back to Disc today. Can't make Glyph of Penance. Trot my shapely Blood Elf butt over to the AH where I find: no Glyph of Penance.
I have the mats, what with being a scribe and all, so I ask several times in Trade.
No Glyph of Penance.
If you're going to make a particular glyph really, truly, flat-out mandatory, it should not be learned via discovery.
Now I'm running around Disc specced with no Glyph of Penance and I look like an idiot. No, I mean more than usual. I still have nice hair and cool mounts, but wonder if that's enough to overcome a handicap of this magnitude. People might not take me seriously.
Just saying.
Edit: OR, maybe some people don't know their professions as well as they think they do. And maybe those people should learn what Wowhead means by "learned via discovery" before go they shooting their mouths off.
At least I'm in to correct myself before anyone else has to do it.
That said, the whine about mandatory glyphs and discovery still stands.
