Plan to decrease requirement of head enchant?

Well I thought things were going in the right directions when the requirements for heroics were dropped from Revered to Honored reputation requirement. It was overall a good idea since groups are getting increasingly harder for find as most people no longer have incentive to run them (at least opposed as much as they used to). Alts/Re-rollers/New Players rejoice!

However, even though the rep requirement to run heroics now is reduced, and the addition of normal/heroic daily quests, it's still hard to find groups to run for your specific targetted reputation group. For example, I need to get my Sha'tar rep up from neutral to revered to get my head enchant. I'm on an extremely populated server and I have time finding groups... so I figure it's even worse for smaller population servers.

I was just wondering if there were any plans in the near-future to reduce the requirement to purchasing head enchants, maybe a drop from Revered to Honored?

We don't have any current plans to lower the requirement of other faction rewards like the head enchants. We made the Heroic Keys easier to get for all of the factions to allow players easier access to these dungeons, not necessarily to start a trend of making rewards easier to get.

With the addition of the regular and heroic dungeon daily quests, you may not be able to focus on a single faction everyday, but if you keep an eye on them for the one you are looking for you can probably increase your reputation quite quickly when one for the faction you want is available.

Q u o t e:
But is there going to be new, better head enchants in WotlK? Or will we be doomed to run our alts through outland instances till revered for some of the best enchants in the game? Because it seems pretty hard to beat some of the current ones out there.

First off, the head enchants for Wrath of the Lich King aren't finalized so I don't know what they will be.

That said, from a history perspective, I think this was brought up when The Burning Crusade was coming out. People feared they'd be running Zul'Gurub to get their head enchant and while it's still an option if you want to get that specific one, most people appear to be using the new ones.
