Re: On the PTR : universal tier tokens and extendable raid locks
The thing about making the game more casual friendly is that it usually doesn't affect the hardcore raider in the least. It is also a misnomer to label extended lockouts as a "casual only" change. If you are on progression content, regardless if that content is Arachnid Quarter in Naxx or 25man Hard Mode Arthas' Throne room (not yet in game), then being able to extend a lock out is a good thing.
Additionally I don't think having tier gear, except in the early stages, is a good indication of how hardcore or bleeding edge you are. IMO the true badge of accomplishment is either the title or mount that comes with beating new content, especially the limited time mounts. For example I, an admitted casual, will never.....ever be able to get a plagued proto drake. If you got it, that's hardcore.
