You are right, that's why I changed the suggestion a bit to add 1 more gear at the ilvl of Alex Normal, maybe from crafts (unmeldable), that would let us not do Alex Normal.
If there was better gear available people would farm for it and burn themselves out and that is something I haven't though about. So there should be another option to Alex Normal gear that would take maximally the same time to get. It can even have old skins, as we already see in crafts.

I still don't think your problem with Alex was that you had to do it before, but rather the way the loot system worked.

You felt compelled to farm it until you got that one drop from every single boss.

With WoW, you get one shot per week at a boss base. Even in LFR. You can't just keep rerunning it 50 times a week until you get what you want.


What they did add with Mists of Pandaria are a coin system, where you gained them in various ways(dailies, exchanges of other currencies, etc and whatnot) that when spent after a boss kill let you get one more roll on a boss for a drop.


You could only hold up to 10 of the most current ones(you had a new coin type every tier to prevent hoarding), they did not decay if not spent, and you were limited to how many you could get per week. Until WoD, this was 3 per week. With WoD, if you were lucky with your garrison missions you could get 4. And since there were a boatload of bosses, you had to be a bit picky with which bosses you used that coin on. To use additional coins on the same boss though you had to rerun the instance, and most folks didn't bother with that. Most used it on their normal/heroic/mythic whatever kills with their static group rather than LFR.
