I'm just going to agree with most of thread: Hell yea, about time!

The classification of an item is worthless. eg two items with ilvl 300, one rare and one epic. The rare item gives stats more attractive to your spec, then the rare item is better than the epic one.
It's all in your head.
Saving for Cata.
will be true at the begninning of cata. won't be past some point.
quite amazed to see some people still believe in santa claus around here.
10 years ago we had Steve Jobs, Bob Hope and Johnny Cash. Now we have no Jobs, no Hope and no Cash.
yay no more epics for the noobs!
I like this. I don't think much will change tho, Everyone will still get alot of free epics from raids and badge rewards, and probably when new patches come, more easy 5 man dungeons will come with more free purples.
To be honest though, with the 'everyone can raid' mentality, Epics =/= epics Because if everyone is raiding... no one is...
Wait, what? :S
From Purples to Epics... i like that!
"Epics" is just a name. Itemlevel on the other hand changes things.
Sha of *Gay* Pride!
What I'm assuming this means... is no more tier gear from badges... probably something similar to BC except a tiered badge system.
You shouldn't get the actual tier gear from badges, just a tier below equivalent gear of what drops in a raid.
So for example... t11 shoulder tokens drop off the 3rd boss in the first raid... the badges you get from heroics will buy you a blue piece of shoulder gear....
Next raid comes out, t12 tokens drop off the bosses, you can now buy epic t11 equivalent gear (not the actual t11) from heroic badges...
that is how it should be.
You also shouldn't be able to by weapons or trinkets with badges.
People gearing out in heroics with such a high item level gear is what is making progression in normal modes not challenging.
Won't stop qq'ing till rare items are rare again, seriously everyone including their mother can get em with small/no effort!
My question is do any of the so called players from Vanilla remember the pain in the arse it was to say, switch toons, gear an alt? Of course with the raids no longer being 40 mans and having only a couple of epics from a boss at a time it wouldn't be the same experience of walking uphill both ways in the snow. I am not saying giving back some of the "epic" feeling to gear wouldn't be nice at some level. I wonder how blizzard will go about this considering their current stance of no man left behind when it comes to raiding?
One of the real things I would like to see in the game is more of the "epic" feeling clearing a raid. TBC actually still had that with Lady Vag, Kael, (not so much Archimonde) Illidan, and then Kil'jaeden. It's never been rocket science by any means. I am wondering if attunements might find there way back into the game though I doubt that.
Excellent, now 9/10 of the one's thinking they're pro will fall back to the level they belong.

Nothing lasts forever, as they say.
But at least I can casually play Classic and remember when MMORPGs were good.

So does this mean no more iLvl 232 epic loot heroics ?
