For the most part I think the Tier loot system with tokens is fine.

Having said that, Our MT, myself OT and the main Druid Healer have yet to see T5 shoulders drop, im sure some Priests in raid would like them but we have 3 right up front needing them so not only are they hopeless for them, at this point so are we. Yet, every Loot Reaver kill we see 3 tokens drop and none are War/Dru/Priest. I would like to see one of each token drop, always.

I would like to see Tier gear be more of a guaranteed thing. Great steps have been made since MC, BWL etc with the token system. I think it should simply be part of the progression. It is the Main reason for the Raid to go, to get tier pieces for someone. The other random gear is reason to go after you get your tier gear and the fun surprise we all seek.

If not implemented as one of each set drops then perhaps have a dual system where tokens drop but you can also eventually buy them with badges and reputation. But just the tier gear.

I think there should be a comparable item to DST, for instance, at this point in the game and there should be a way to have acquired DST by other means or its comparable cousin.

As far as systems, there are any number of way to go about it.

* Raid points like honor with different tokens from different instances: 50000 Raid points and 3 of each Gruul, Mag and Kara tokens for DST.

* Trade ins. Soem dude has all items of an instance and you can trade in crap items for good items at a 10 to 1 ratio or w/e is deemed well.

* Meaningful reputation. Make rep harder to get and the gear better or the actual loot table within the instance purchased with instance specific badges.

The list goes on.

I would like to see more Naxx type, for immersion. Here are 3 blank chest pieces of uberness, now go complete the quest and turn it into your Feral druid chest of Rawr with various materials gathered from the instance.
