This way when im on during an non raiding day, I can still pug or if someone is absent I can switch groups and participate.
In threads about having heroic badges be BoA instead of BoP, blues have posted statements that they do not want raiders bringing their overgeared mains in and farming badges for alts. By that same thinking, I think it's probably safe to extrapolate that they also do not want to have overgeared mains running tons of runs over and over on weekends and swapping in alts every run to gear them up stupidly fast. Same principle, just horizontal instead of vertical.

I'd like to see both, IMO (badges be BoA and lockouts on raids be loot-based instead of "can't even SEE the instance/boss" based. Seems like folks would be more willing to bring pug people along and let them experience some of the nifty content (note: content, not gearscore +1) if they didn't have to sacrifice a possible loot roll to do it. But then, I'm not a raider, so you can take my opinions with a grain of salt.
