I feel like at this point it would be nice to add some more random useful items to the Real vendor.
I would really love to see them add the skinning dagger from upper Black rock spire.
As a Shaman or Druid, I can’t use the skinning sword in Z
It would be great to have some more profession patterns as well.
As opposed to an imaginary vendor?
I’d like to see them add T1, and later T2 (when Naxx releases).
250-500 Reals for a piece (ie 250 for bracer/belt/gloves/boots, 500 for helm/chest/legs); reduced by 50% when the ‘next next’ Raid tier releases (so Naxx would see T1’s cost cut in half, and the introduction of T2 ‘at full price’).
This setup of being able to earn Raid gear through Dungeons was pretty nice in Wrath and later expanded upon in Classic Wrath with the Essence Trader.

This is exactly what we dont want. Lets keep all raids relevant to a degree.
Even just the T2 bracers being there was iffy.
I guess the mats from aq20 and aq25? I mean for items like speedstone.
I dunno, don’t remember hearing people complain about it in Wrath or the extension of it with the Essence vendor in Classic Wrath.
As for keeping raids relevant. I’d have to check all the specs, but it looks like Ret’s BiS no longer has anything from MC. Meaning Molten Core is now completely obsolete for Ret Paladins.
…if that holds true for the other classes/specs, then MC has no functional purpose in Raiding other than maybe for ‘quick epics’ to D/E (should yield Nexus Crystals now).
I’m pretty sure when people invoke the ‘keep raids relevant’ they aren’t referring ‘use them as material factories’.
