What i mean is that most of the good raiders are min-maxers. And making a tailor/lw alt for this is most efficient solution, unless you are incredibly good with making money. And i'm sure that Blizzard realise that.

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.
What was wrong with AQ40 system, except for inventory issues ? And Nax has more random factor than AQ40, since token drops are random (i.e. boss can only drop 1 token of 3 possible).

P.S. And how about 1 NW robe in 6 months ?

Fun is for casuals
