Because it's subjective. Ok, so all your Shaman already have
[Antonidas's Aegis of Rapt Concentration] and it gets locked out. What about the Prot Paladins that could use it for more threat?
All your Hunters already have
[Ranger-General's Chestguard], but it's still a viable upgrade for your Enhancement Shaman.
All your Rogues already have
[Belt of One-Hundred Deaths], but any one of your melee DPS would be willing to snap that up for the large expertise bonus.
It's this late into TBC and we're still seeing this kind of itemization mixing. How is going to be acceptable for Blizzard to lock everyone into their respective items
from the very start when we KNOW that Blizzard makes a lot of itemization mistakes. Spell damage socket bonus on Ret T6? MP5 on Enhancement Shaman sets?
Wouldn't it be better to:
1. Keep the tier token system, but if you're going to drop three tokens, make it one of each class, for the love of Pete.
2. Keep one random non-set epic drop if you REALLY want to keep the random factor
3. Instead of a second non-set epic drop, make a boss drop a piece of himself (Gruul's head, Lurker Below's fin, Azgalor's hoof, etc.). This piece can then be turned into a quest NPC somewhere in Shatt or inside the dungeon to get any specific item from the boss' drop table.
