People cry because leveling is oh so difficult and time consuming. Wah! (IMO, if you find leveling in WoW to be either too challenging or too time consuming, you either, 1, haven't played many MMORPGs, or 2, should probably stick to coloring books since staying inside the lines is probably more your speed).
So they give you the ability to get all this BoA crap that speeds up leveling by both reducing how much xp you need via xp bonuses and reduces time you need to spend dinking with gear upgrades.
And then people cry about that.
People just cry a lot.
I personally think the BoA stuff has gone to far but it's the kind of thing that once it started, they kind of had to keep going with it. At the core, as another way to reward people for pounding/grinding content at endgame, it isn't such a bad idea. It's also a fun kind of way to help with leveling alts faster. But now that it's to the point of covering almost every slot it's like whoa...maybe this is a bit too much.
Easy solution...allow toons to wear X pieces (say 4ish) of BoA gear max. Put a limit on it. You'd still be able to use all your pieces, by equipping different ones over time as you level to fill in gaps you're missing from drops/quest/whatever gear, but it'd keep things from being so ridiculous and help all these other items being mentioned retain some value.
Then the BG griefing twinks would cry!
There's no way to stop some crying, now, is there?
