I see this is going to start the raiders vs casuals line here. Look, just stop and think for ONE second. You say it undermines the "sense of accomplishment" well let me ask you something. If you are on to T9 stuff and someone is farming badges for t7.5 equipment, at fucking 300 badges a piece... why do you care? I'll tell you why you care. You want to be bleeding edge and you like to be elitist and you generally want to dominate the shit out of casuals when you meet them in pvp or on your dps meter. That is why you care. No where in here did I say it was my "right".

I was just lamenting that badge gear AS IT STANDS NOW is barely BARELY better(and in a lot of cases worse) than the crap I craft and got from beating the heroics ... lame shit. I just wish that I could look at the vendor and go "ok I gotta save up for that slot, oooh and I definitely want that piece" As it stands now I'm going... "uh why would I want that?"

So anyways sorry to step on your elitist toes, but you started it, as all I was asking for was input on my equipment choices for my alt teams.
Whoa, you're totally off base here. We don't have T9 content yet, no one's talking about raiders versus casuals, (you can be a casual raider, too), no one says they want to own people in PVP with PVE gear, and especially in the multiboxing community I doubt many of us care about maximizing the DPS meter against other people.

I said that it undermines a sense of accomplishment and I'm sure we all really agree with this concept. You wouldn't list beating heroic Magister's Terrace an accomplishment if you did it at 80 because it's easy now. That's the idea that I'm after. Now, maybe you think this idea wouldn't apply here, but you can't scoff at it like it's totally invalid and leading to some larger, more sinister argument. It's not like that at all. I just don't want to find myself steamrolling everything I do and getting bored: it's as simple as that.
