So I'll switch to "the other type of reply" style. As a person who has geared up his first char in TBC, 3 chars throughout WotLK (2 of them as alts, mind you, that means with expensive BoEs), 2 during Cata (1 as alt) and 2 during MoP (both different accounts, so neither as alts), I have to say it's never been so easy to gear up as it is right now. Yes, you could get 232 in ICC heroics, but that would give you 232 ilvl gear top (duh). That wouldn't get you into raids... (If you didn't want BoEs), you had to buy stuff with frosts (264) and triumphs (245)... Guess what? You can get 463 from HCs buy stuff with valor (522, 496, 489)... How is THAT different?
