But still this is altso fail imo. I'm oldschool I know, but I realy liked the way gear was distributed in tbc. Not to fast and not to slow, but to gain the good gear you had to earn it. And no lame hardmode "buying more time b4 people Get bored" but thats pve
Im not getting into an argument over this but the new PvP model is like the current 10 man progression model. Remember that in CATA 10man and 25 man gear will be the same.

You can get ilevel 264 gear from frost badges crafted and BoEs meaning that there is virtually no upgrades over badge loot in ICC10 normal and the heroic mode gear is equivalent in most cases. The only ilevel upgrade (ignoring for a moment there is not an ilevel264 badge item for every slot) is heroic mode LK weapons same as the proposed PvP model.

10 man Raiders will get ilevel264 gear faster than those running heroics.
