"Head enchants are gone.

We decided that putting head enchants on the various faction vendors
wasn't working well with our design intent for the factions. There is
a lot of max-level quest content in MoP, much of it focused around the
reputation with the new factions. I think it's really cool stuff --
worlds away from the old Argent Dawn scourge stone days.

In previous expansions, the head enchants on the faction vendors
served to force players into that content. You couldn't even choose
which reputation to pursue -- you had to pursue the one with your
specific head enchant. Our design intent for MoP is to give players
options in how to play, and the head enchant design wasn't compatible
with that.

Once we decided to no longer offer new head enchants, we made the
older ones non-functional or else players would feel like they had to
go back to older content or be missing out on power. This way, helmets
are just no longer enchantable and you'll have one less required step
to get a piece of loot ready to wear.

Shoulder enchants can now be provided by scribes, so those still
exist, but they are also not part of the faction reputation system. "

I like this tbh, as someone who likes rep I'd do all factions on my
main anyway, but it's pretty annoying having to farm rep on alts for
enchants too, especially with shoulder enchants not being BoA in Cata
(and head weren't to begin with so I did the head enchant grind for
about 4 characters as well...). And I like the idea of picking what
faction to do first based on what quests they have/what *fun* rewards
they have, rather than on them being the faction for my head enchant,
or being forced through Deepholm on every single alt since you have to
do the entire flippin' zone to unlock the faction which gives
everyone's shoulder enchants.

Scribes making shoulder enchants also sounds nice given I have a max
skill scribe, I shall make a point of skilling her up quickly in MoP
then ;-) A shame head enchants are gone for good but oh well, they may
come up with something else later on anyway.
