wow goldget best-in-slot or near-best-in-slot items like the Crossbow of Relentless Strikes or the Adorned Supernal Leggings, although it might take them a month or two. wow However, if it was the case that you needed a Mystic Widget from the Tier 9 raids, or special badges from same, to get the T9-equivalent badge gear, it would be completely inaccessible to players on the lower rungs of raiding, no matter how long they kept at it. BitterCupOJoe and darian, in comments on the Blizzcast post, neatly addressed this issue through a simple mechanism: exchange rates. Let’s say there are four types of badges; we’ll call them A, B, C, and D for simplicity. We know (from this same Blizzcast interview) that they want the 10-man and the 25-man versions of the same raids to be separated by about a tier in terms of item quality. wow gold Therefore, it would make sense if:

Naxxramas, the tier 7 raid, drops A-Badges on 10-man and B-Badges on 25-man. Ulduar, the t8 raid, drops B-Badges on 10-man and C-Badges on 25-man. Whatever the t9 raid turns out to be drops C-Badges on 10-man and D-Badges on 25-man. mp3 player And so on, if they add more raids. Then, you just allow players to exchange badges up at a rate of two-to-one: two As get you a B, and so forth. This allows Blizzard to make it clear that certain gear is “”meant for”" certain levels of play, and to make it easier to get the appropriate gear at the appropriate levels, while still making it possible for the dedicated t7 raider to get top-quality gear eventually. Now you may be asking at this point: if you can easily exchange badges, why bother having multiple kinds. Instead of one D-Badge, just give players eight A-Badges. wow gold There are two problems with this. First, the number of badges could quickly become intimidatingly large; 150 BoJs for a weapon already is in my opinion.
