Also, It is like welfare epics... I never liked the idea of just.... pvp for a few hours, hey! I've got a nice new epic! It WAS fair before they took out the pvp system where you actually had to farm to get pvp gear, and that was when pvp gear ACTUALLY MEANT that you had skill in the game you play. BoE epics from bosses will be people having supreme gear, they will have as good gear as us, the raiders that spend hours a week learning the fights, progressing in the raid instances, and killing the bosses and getting loot, imo, it is totally unfair that people can just buy gear off the Auction House and they will be as geared as us. It may pay for guild expenses (Like Flasks, Pots, Food, etc..) but the point is if someone gets that, people will talk to them the way people talk to people with welfare epics, they will just say "Lol, that guy has a welfare raid epic, he cant be good if it is a BoE". Spellstrike set, Spellfire set, etc are different. Because they required you to farm for hours on end to get mats required to make the items, and the items are very good when it comes to raiding. I suppose people with these BoE epics will get a trial run in Naxx as you stated and just be epic phail.
