Yes Harvin... a lot of the stuff on the badge vendors....
Neck i think u can get better off hard modes..
Pants are about the same as the savage saronite
gloves I think are around the same as the firey behemoth
and being in line for a belt of dragons there really isn't any point in the badge belt if you have TWR from Nax...

The idea behind the conquest badge loot is this:

you can fill:

Head
Chest
Legs
Belt
Hands
Neck

With roughly equivalent to Ulduar gear... no real point in gearing for nax anymore so they are basically bypassing that tier of badge gear as they understand nobody wants to farm to gear for two levels of gearing progression.
But yea for the main raider toon in your life true there is no real benefit to this...unless you want to farm for a PVP set.

However i do think that some of the non heroic tier 9 gear is going to be available for purchase for marks of some kind be it conquest or the marks you get from the tournament daily quests... and i think they are going to put a new tier of marks in the heroic coliseum... not totally sure though..

Thanks for all the replies! There's definitely a few reasons for heroics now, it's just a matter of whether you choose to follow any of them (i.e. achievements, gear, gems, zone drops). Tomorrow, Tuesday the 14th, I'll be forming a group for the Azjol-Nerub achievements, noon-ish.

Watch Him Die--Needs two tanks :?
Hadronox Denied-- Has a nice exploit involving getting someone to die, 3 people to zone out and the last be able to vanish when the out-of-combat party members return enabling a reset of t he encounter.
Gotta Go!-- Just hard dps when he's target able.

Next is Ahn'kahet. Invites around Noon Server.

If you're talking about noon tomorrow I won't be able to make that one, Psi. :( I need to turn in some work around 1, and I believe I should be back around 1:30-2:00 or something, but it depends on traffic.

Kewl deal! :D
I don't expect to be able to form a group every day, especially considering the invite time. =p I'm really just hoping everyone hears about me trying to form an achievements group and maybe shows up. Bringing in one or two pugs is always fun too! We might not have learned about the exploit had we not pug'd that mage today. ;)

Newk, I don't think there should be too many BC instances you can't solo. Med showed me how to solo some of the TK instances but that was elemental spec with our fancy rooting earthbind totem. But with the healing and wolves and such I would think its possible as enhancement too..
