If we’re being honest the introduction of the wow token nuked 90% of whatever “prestige” there was.
Struggling to raid? Swipe card for tokens to buy a CE carry with loot prio
Want a mythic mount? Swipe card for tokens to buy a boost for it
Want IO? Buy tokens for a boost
Want a t3 set? Buy tokens until you amass 3m to buy a full set from naxx
Edit: The only actual remaining prestigious items now are mop/wod CM sets, old elite pvp sets, or mage tower artifacts. The rest are a wash. (Don’t bother saying tcg mounts were prestigious as that died with the WoD duping situation)
