Add the fact that when most of us spoiled RAF boxers started dooing instance we got S2 gear for free + a few pices of S3. The instances were at the time of S2 toned down quite much compared to on release...
:thumbup:

I approve. Badge gear, SSO rep gear, Epic Gems, PvP gear... These all "filled the gap". When you have access to S2 honor gear (SSC/TK iLevel) right off the bat that's like having access to a raid that doesn't even exist yet in Wrath.

Granted, I know I saw some of you doing heroics in blues via Earthbind kiting + burst, but let's face it... that's rather gimmicky and I'm sure, given time, we'll find new gimmicks for current instances.
