You're not "forced" to have an alt, you could just pay for the materials. In the end, to get the gear I suppose you can say you are "forced" to get the materials--just like you're "forced" to spend hours in the instance, "forced" to clear the trash, "forced" to learn the bosses, and so on.

In the end, they've come up with a token system to try and circumvent the horrible frustration of streaky droprates and have replaced that element with a different sort of investment. Instead of time spent killing a boss over and over hoping to at last see your set piece, you can now just buy or craft something yourself. I really, really don't see how that's worse than being able to go two months without seeing a Breastplate of Wrath.
