Loot in BC

The devs general philosophy is to aim more towards token systems for gear and armor sets. If you were to receive reputation tokens or some such item from a boss, which could then be spent on the item of your choice, a number of good things could come of that.

You could maintain demand for dungeon loot by having it be usable for everyone.

You decrease the quantity of shards/nexus crystals being pushed into the market, because less gear is being disenchanted.

You decrease the chance of seeing an item drop, that you already have/don't want, repeatedly.

Granted, I don't think every piece of loot is going to be treated this way, but we are looking to provide players with more tailored methods of loot acquisition.
