(Rep, rep rewards, trash-drop crafting mats, crafting patterns, actually getting to see the content, titles, etc.) But I still don't like it, simply because it means that for anyone who doesn't have access to T6 raid loot, there's no incentive to go beyond Kara - why "waste time" in SSC or TK when you can get _better_ loot by running Kara? That is not a good conclusion to force a raid group into. That's why I think there should be alternative, 25-man-friendly, sources of badges if they're going to make badge loot this good.

But I hate that its easy for people in one fell swoop to catch up with me for several months of work by doing Kara! Agreed, Im all for other people having avenues of improving their gear.
