I haven't been around Warlords since its first two weeks.

Here? You never have to do raids, and the artifact weapon is simply a powerful yet special looking weapon. It's something I don't mind considering I don't have to put up with the likes of T9 and the weapons do look special . Some won't see it that way considering how it was and probably still is in WoW (among other MMOs that might have this).
