I still don't see why this is such a big deal.
1. Everything is scaled down by % so it's not unbalanced.
2. You can still solo raids because it's % scaled.
3. It's easier to read other peoples gear and more efficient when considering upgrades,
There's way more points but I can't think of any negative besides someone feeling like they're powerful because huge numbers pop on their screen. Which is pretty pathetic.

4. A squish is inevitable and it isn't just because of player feedback they're doing it.
5. Your WoTLK alts will do that of a Vanilla character so your MoP character is still stronger than your alt.
6. It doesn't diminish gear progression at all. It's one reset and everything back to normal with better gear every patch.

7. Everyone is getting your so called "nerf" so it's not just about you. We are all in this together.
