Changing blacksmithing specialization

[Brallon 0]

pretty much as the title says - got weaponsmithing, want armorsmithing... when i got to the specialists in Ironforge, nothing happens when i go through the options and choose "i wish to unlearn..."

I'm having the same issue switching from Swordsmithing to Axesmithing in Winterspring. Talking to Serl Scourgebane and selecting I wish to unlearn swordsmithing yields "this action cannot be completed right now". 

I have an open ticket with the GM and will post back here with results.

You are locked into the specialisation you chose until a much later patch when you can switch.

If you have sources to back that up would be great.

Until then I have created a bug tracker ticket and confirmed with a GM that it is infact a bug in the core. Please upvote it so we can get it fixed ASAP.

A quick google search will show you that Blacksmiths did not get the ability to change specializations until Patch 2.0.3

You are stuck unless they make some special exemption to this being a Vanilla Blizz-like server.

While true - I have a guild member who was able to change from dragonscale to tribal leatherworking already this patch. Paddy (Anathema) in case you were curious.

That, plus the fact that the NPC conversation tags and the unlearn action item are already present in this patch would also suggest this is still a bug. It's my understanding that there was a change made in 2.0.3 as you've stated, but it was a change to the way in which the base action functioned.
