Sha Gems and Sockets seem a little expensive...

How many times do you plan on replacing it? Unless you used them on the LFR weapon and then got the normal/heroic version I don't see why you would need to replace them until at least late T15.

It is overly expensive. Especially to hybrids who use different itemization, it`s more punishing to them to be optimal than other classes whose other specs use the same weapon.

This isn't an exclusive quest chain. People shouldn't be pointing to the word "legendary' because it is a legendary quest chain in name only. This is an uncommon quest chain that all raiders and even non-raiders will be completing. We don't know the final form of the legendary or if everyone will be getting it, that will be the exclusive part, but until there is an actually exclusive/difficult part this is a quest chain available to everyone. Having to spend 12.5k just because you won a same version of the weapon with a slightly higher ilevel is silly.

Its a gold sink guys, way to make you're choice seem harder etc. Gold inflation must be keept down imo. In vanilla I had like 500g end off it, inn TBC 20k, WOTLK 250k....and so on, way to much inflated prices.

Basicly, go play the AH if you lack gold, not like its hard to do that. Will gladly give tips to anyone who keep beliving gold is hard to get.
