Confirmed. Can no longer even roll on lower tier tokens if you have a higher tier appearance, even if you lack the appearance. I have no idea if this applies to other pieces of gear in it or just tier. But either way this isn’t okay.
I have heroic shoulders from the Catalyst this week, couldn’t roll on the Shoulder Tokens even though I don’t have the LFR appearance.
For the love of god, put Personal Loot back in LFR. This is hell for mog collectors. I’m never going to finish a tier appearance set at this rate.
