The token system is great, I love it. But honestly, 5-piece sets just don't deliver the "impact" that the 8-piece sets did. Maybe that's in part because the sets are being introduced so quickly compared to original WoW, but I think the full sets just had a much more epic "look" to them. When you had your full Tier 2, you weren't just a Paladin with great (mix-n-match) gear; you were a Paladin with *Judgement*. Or Dreadnaught; I remember seeing guys with pieces of Dreadnaught, and thinking "Wow, they're almost 'there'", and nothing is more intimidating than seeing a warrior walking around in his full Dreadnaught armor (particularly, when he's running at you in Warsong Gulch, lmao).
I think the 5-piece sets definately have their place, but they just feel much more "temporary", whereas the 8-piece sets just had a sense of power about them, that made them much more desirable.
