Challenge mode's gear

I do like the fact that they will remain prestigious because of not being available, and the difficulty not changing. Even with my issues finding a group to run them. I think all in all it was a great implementation from blizzard. Would even be great if they added different sets for different challenges.

More/faster WoD content > fixing MoP CMs in WoD. More than likely their reasoning, the amount of people who will really care once WoD launches is too small to worry about and not worth their time to fix. Similar to Wrath pvp weapons, tyrannical armor tomorrow and malevolent pvp weapons. The niche who cares is too small to spend development time on it when adding it back in will be controversial in of itself.

It wouldn't surprise me if they bring it back eventually with a "platinum" rank. Or doing something special in CMs. Like doing all the heroic achievements in a run and still get Silver.

But it's always going to be current because gear scales down :S it isn't going to get easier.

Counterexample: Cata mechanics made Herald of the Titans much easier, even though the 80 clvl and 232/226 ilvl restrictions are still in play.
