    Insider Trader is your inside line on making, selling, buying and using player-made products.Back in patch 3.0.3, you might have missed one of the changes. This one line in the patch notes informed us that leveling requirements to train gathering professions had been removed. The reasoning seemed to be that they are self-restricted, as you can't exactly go romping around Northrend at level 15. The problem with this logic is that you can, in fact, with some help, and this change definitely did not go unnoticed in the twink community. With a little patience and some dedicated high level friends, you too could become a level 19 PvP terror with two of the following buffs; 32 critical strike rating, 500 stamina, and/or an instant cast self-heal for 2000 health over 5 seconds every 3 minutes. The critical strike buff would vary depending on your class, but as an example, a level 19 rogue would gain 10.8% critical strike chance.Understandably, some members of the twink community are none too happy about this development, and would like to see it corrected.
