Patch 2.4 Notes

[Concillian]

If they've gone so far as to put badges on the 25-man raid bosses, why not take the last step? Make 25-man badges a different kind, let them buy T6 loot, and require significantly less of them than of Badges of Justice.

If there's any reason to do Kara at all, people will go in there. And these people who haven't been much into raid content at all so far are the people who deserve to leave old content behind at last.

If they put badges on 25-man content, and make bosses drop ~10-20 badges each and make each piece of gear cost at least 100 badges, then you have effectively done the same thing as requiring a different kind of badges. Lets not foget that the loot they would get in 25 mans would generally be more useful.

We don't know what the items are, how much they'll cost, or how many badges will be dropping in the new content, it's hard to say one way or another if the decision is good or bad.

Not like it really matters anyway...

I really don't know many guilds who are in a situation where they are capable of 25 man content and Kara is taking time from 25 mans. In our case Kara is generally done almost every week, but it happens on nights where we wouldn't be able to field 25 people anyway, so it's not like it's an either / or situation Kara happens and we do 25 mans a couple nights a week. We get gear, we get badges, we have fun, all this despite "all which is wrong with the game".
