No, all you hxc raiders need to stop qqing because casuals are getting gear thats decently on par with BT and other such. All they're doing is making it easier for everyone to get epic gear and gear up for when WOTLK comes out, so the starter quests won't have items that outclass t5 like how BC reward items for hellfire outclassed almost all gear anyone had regardless of how long they were raiding.

At least now all the raiding youve done and all the raiding you will continue to do won't be completely wasted once WOTLK is here.

Edit; Also, theres something like under 5% of the total WoW players that have seen the high high endgame content (ala Nax, soon to be the new 2.4 25man, BT, so on and so forth) and have been able to get that gear -- which is being changed to where 'casuals' can still eventually recieve loot thats on par with decentl high end raid gear.

And you guys are seriously overexaggerating what's going on. The new 5man is only gonna have 'bt-esque' drops from the last boss on Heroic, the rest will be rares/epics on par with Prince drops. Theres a few new badge items that are opening up but at 150 badges, it's going to be a decent amount of farming. People don't mash Kara, ZAx2 and 10 heroics a week like everyone seems to think they do. The 150 badges FOR MOST people will end up taking about as long as it took you to get up to Hyjal/BT and beyond, at a rate of 1 item per x amount of time, compared to your farm status SSC/Eye/Mag/Hyjal/Most of BT drops that you probably have a good portion of gear that doesn't need to be UG'ed and if it is, its only like for an additional 10 healing 2stam or 10ap 5str.
