Okay, so maybe kara can help you get the required number of badges slightly faster. But still, 150 badges!! Are the items really THAT good? Or is this huge number of badges meant to cut down on the raider's whining that epics are being thrown at players and their raid epics that they supposedly worked SOOOO hard for, are being made obsolete. Getting a group together and downing Magathon, especially after your guild has it down pat, and having an incredibly powerfull epic handed to you by your GM, does not equal 150 badges.
Why does WoW's grind have to intensify at a time when most players are becomming bored of the game do to intense grind? Casuals just have very little reason to play, the population levels of my server have dropped from being HIGH on everyweekend, to medium. I can't say that all those green and blue wearing people are missed, but i think it shows a reaction to this game's endgame grind intensity.
Blizzard needs to tone it down, this will turn people off and ultimately cost accounts.
