Vault, Tol Barad, and tokens

Q u o t e:
My first question is why didn't the bosses in vault drop tokens?

Second, if there is a vault like instance in Tol Barad will we see tokens or tier + pvp items?

The vault bosses are designed and meant to be very puggable so pretty much anybody can do them (within reason of course). The problem this brings about is what gear they can drop. If we put tokens on them then they are guaranteed loot for everybody in a very easy way - when gear is this easy to get we generally wouldn't want it to be as good. By making it so it's basically a lottery on what drops/what you get we feel we can put some top notch gear on the bosses and it doesn't cause any big issues.

We will have more information on Cataclysm content in the months ahead.

Oh, hai Bornakk.

You're quick today. How much caffeine was in your coffee this morning? O.o

Trick question, I don't drink coffee.

Q u o t e:
Please don't have a vault like place in Cataclysm. Maybe perhaps you get arena points for beating the boss. This lottery is the most frustrating thing. I can't even convince my pvp friends to run it, having off set pieces that we don't need because we have enough rating, and then add pve pieces, and make pvp'rs pve for a small chance at gear, its truly an awful place.

At the same time there are a lot of people that run this dungeon every week but yeah, only some of them get lucky.
