Increased drop rates is a must as long as we're not just getting everything handed to us. Alternative, lower rated gear as a consolation prize is fun and a good idea. IMO, the real problem is that we're stuck with the same 2 dungeons to farm them at and there's only ONE set available. Even if we were stuck with the same system we have now for loot in ARR, I would be much more willing to accept it if I knew there was other places to go and try to farm endgame gear.

My biggest nightmare is finding myself sitting in front of AV/CC 3 months into ARR farming the same thing I've been on for the last year of 1.0... myself personally, I'm not as mad at the drop rates as I am of the fact I only have 2 places to go and try to get gear at.
