It's an achievement. The scourge event was NOT an achievement.

Achievement, by definition, means you got off your lazy butt and did something.

People QQing about this is like a 500 pound guy going "I need a wheelchair!" and then feeling great when the motor gets him to the pantry for more twinkies.

No, it'd be an achievement if he walked to the pantry and threw away the twinkies.

People think they deserve to have everything just handed to them and they shouldn't have to do a dang thing for it.

Results:
Every player can get top-tier gear because "ZOMG I can't play very long and I don't know people and I'm not in a hard-core guild, I want my T10 too!!!!!!" and Blizzard saying "OK. You can have it. But if you want SLIGHTLY BETTER gear you need to raid for the tokens."

I remember when I started, seeing someone in T6 meant something. It was something to strive for... and I felt like I achieved something worthwhile when I got my first T6 drop. I felt GREAT because I worked my butt off for it.

School of Hard Knocks? HEAVEN FORBID you have to set foot into a battleground a few times and not sit idle and farm honor.

O. M. G.

QQ MOAR.
