Im guessing that at this point in the game with just 2 mos til the expansion releases they want the max amount of ppl to get to see the content and end up with generally the same lvl of gear going into the new expansion..so made it easier for all to get that lvl of gear. Good for those of us that raid with 1 or 2 chars and have a few lesser geared chars that we box with. Either way doesnt really matter, seems like most of the real raiding guilds have more or less backed off or stopped raiding resting up for the expansion.
