Alright, let me just say, this whole giving casuals conquest emblems from heroics is a...
SLAP
IN
THE
FACE.
To casuals.
Yes, you heard me right. Now, after I faceroll through heroics, I'm going to be in full epics, with very high item levels. Higher than I can count. I'm going to join a Naxxramas 10 PuG by linking my achievement. Then...
I'M
GOING
TO
WIPE.
Do you have any idea what my repair bills will be like?
How am I supposed to pay to get my repairs done? I'm casual. I don't have time to farm gold.
This patch was a slap in the face to casuals.

Either you are a phail troll, or dumber than a rock...
All the great gear in the world won't make you a raider,
any more than putting on a Pittsburg Steeler uniform will
make you an NFL player... Raiding guilds worth their salt
will take people who can raid... ie , not stand in the fire,
avoid the flamewalls etc... having good gear will not make
you a raider.... if you pug a raid...well... unless you know all
the raid... you will get pug raid result, regardless of the great
gear they are wearing... Let the casuals have the purples
if they want them... No harm, no foul...

Why the heck does casual always = bad player?

I consider my self a casual player. I have 20 manned nax25. I have down about 50% of ulduar so far. I Have completed maly10/25 without dieing. I top the DPS charts in almost every raid i am in. I have earned my gear.
On the flip side, i work 50 hours a week and have a family so i can't dedicate 40 hours a week to be a "hardcore" player. I play usualy 4 or 5 nights a week for a total of about 15 hours.

I am a casual player and i know what the fhck i am doing.

You need to be mad that crappy players are going to be able to get gear. not casuals. I know plenty of people who play wow 40 hours a week and are terrible at their class.

Just my 2 cents/

Casual =/= Bad. No matter how many times it takes to say it to get it into people's heads.

Wow, I really stirred up the hornet's nest on this one.
I'd just like to say this was supposed to be a silly tongue in cheek troll post, if anyone actually bothered to read it before flaming.
That said, the only downside I do see to this conquest emblems in heroics thing is that people will be overgeared and underskilled because they farmed all their gear in heroics. Of course, the same thing happened in BC. I think perhaps a better solution to allowing people to catch up on progression would be something along the lines of increasing the amount of loot dropped in Nax, etc while decreasing existing emblem costs. This way, people would experience more content and learn some things, too.
That was off the top of my head, in case the flame throwers are still hungry.

I see this a lot, but I still don't understand it.

Bad players in nice gear are still bad players.

Giving casual players access to the gear isn't going to change anything, those 'underskilled' people have always had friends that carry them through whatever dungeon to get whatever piece anyway.
