I dunno, even a fresh 80 team can get pretty well geared in dungeon blues, and start working on heroics. My team is geared out (I went heroic crazy yesterday and did like 6 heroics last night) so i do the heroics fast, but with the new badge gear, I can get up even faster than doing lower lvl raids.

I'm glad this service is finally available. I imagine a lot of people will come back, or will at least have more fun now. I guess this means that when the inter faction race change is available i can make my druids all worgen...
