I see both sides, as a multiboxer I'd want something to work for as well. As a solo raider, why should you be able to farm 200 hero badges and get something along the level of Ulduar? Its not fair to the people who devote time to a raiding team to go in and drop content. The reason Blizzard won't let you do this is because it would devalue the higher content. I think if they ever did such, I'd finally quit. Who would raid T8/9 level content when they could farm Naxx. (Just like people farmed kara for 150 badge weapons that were ~T5/6) Blizzard acknowledged the Badge system in BC was flawed, thats why they've fixed it in Wrath.

GL with whatever you get yourself into. Photoshop is a lot of fun and very much worth learning imo.
