"I have to agree with Lowangel: where's the upgrades?  We all knew that the gear dropping in Northrend wasn't quite going to be as huge a jump as it was when we headed off to Outland, but I was only dressed in late Karazhan gear, and at this point, close to 73, I've upgraded one thing.  I thought I'd get a little upgrade -- time and time again, I've picked up soulbound quest items, only to have to vendor them off because they don't have the hit I worked to get or the extra Agility on top of the Stamina I've already got.As much as I appreciate keeping the epics on, it is a little disappointing that I may not actually get new gear for ten levels (indeed, many of the folks who cleared the PvE content already were dressed in their old gear as well).  Dressing yourself in clown greens is embarassing, but having no upgrades at all is a problem in the opposite direction.  Bornakk says to be patient and that we'll find upgrades soon enough (and I have, to his credit, already seen a few nice rep items that I'd want, even if I don't have the rep to buy them yet).  There are upgrades out there.But so far, I've only hit a few sidegrades and hardly any clearly better gear than what I had before.  How about you?"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
