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.

I agree with this. Think there are other ways to recognize 'eliteness' other than tier gear drops. Drakes & titles aside, there are plenty of non-tier drops from hard modes and the like that you're unlikely to ever see a casual sporting. It was really annoying for me that I could never get the damn glove T7.5 to drop (or had my traditionally miserable rolls whenever it did) while shoulder, leg and chest tier was dropping left and right - hopefully now that's not a problem.
