We have some new things in store for the badge system to help with the current end game progression curve that exists (as you noted: Heroics > Naxx > Ulduar > 3.2 > Icecrown ). We're looking to put together this information for you and will provide it as soon as it's ready to go.



Same stories have been played out for ages

I'm ready to be given the chance

For saying our side, our version or choice

What does this say about upcoming content? Well, firstly, it might be telling that Zarhym did not refer to the raid as the Argent Coliseum, which might lend credence to those who believe that there will be a 3.2 raid in addition to the Argent Coliseum. However, given that he borrowed the OP's language, this might be reading too much into things.

Secondly, it confirms that the 3.2 raid(s?) will offer Tier 9 gear, or at least gear in the Tier 9 ilvl range (240-253.) This probably shouldn't be a big surprise, but this wasn't confirmed previously.

  1. I don't understnad how this confirms tier 9 loot. ilvl 239 loot, sure, but by no means does this mean Tier 9.

  2. Well, I think "3.2 > Ulduar" implies that 3.2 will have higher top-end loot than Ulduar's... I suppose this isn't necessarily the case, but it would seem bizarre if Blizzard made a harder instance without offering higher-ilvl gear. And this has to be taken in light of the fact that 3.2 will also come out with Season 7, which presumably will offer ilvl 240-253 PvP gear.
