Let`s face it: The majority of people won`t do content just for the challange. They want to have something in return. Something that really puts them above players that can`t clear the content. And thats totally ok. If you are the better player, you should get the better reward. Imagine football premier league players being told: "Nah bro, you don`t get paid more here, it`s just for the challenge". It simply doesn`t work that way.

So here is a suggestion: We already have the option to upgrade tomestone gear (e.g. 260->270). Just let the hardest raid tier drop items, which can upgrade raid and tomestone gear an additional 5 ilvl (e.g. 270->275). This would make them in no way overpowered but would still be a nice reward which actually has some benefit aside from glamour.

I also suggest, that someone opens a thread where all ideas are collected in the first post, so that they are easily viewable for everyone (can also be this thread).
