Agree with you Nin. Merge the badges, it will be a benefit for the majority of players.

The importance of badges vastly overstated. Beeing a regular 25 man raider in Ulduar, I have bought only one item with my conquest badges (a tierpiece I didnt want to wait for). Rest of the loot available through badges are inferiour to the Ulduar drops (I know this will differ slightly from class to class) - meaning that those who raid activly in 25 man content will still have better gear then those doing heroics and dailies in 3.2.

For the rest, its just more to gain possible - making all efforts (from heroics to 25 man Naxx) more rewarding. Seems like a good deal to me :)

It shouldn't really be a major issue, a raider will get both badges and the gear through the instance itself (1-2 tier pieces + random from each boss?), meaning gearing will be as fast as Ulduar was, the badges will be for people that are unlucky or need assistance, who will be happy farming.

The farming rate is never normally bad, and I would expect the bosses in a short instance to drop them faster than a normal instance does (2-3 per boss) making daily farming largely unnecessary.

Well, the handing out of top-tier badges for daily heroics is a bit of a problem to me. I don't play every day, but of course I want to keep up with my fellow raiders and try to get as good gear as possible. Now my not-playing-every-day policy will mean that I'll risk to fall behind my fellow raiders gearwise.

It's supposed to help the casual raiders, but if you're kind of serious, but with limited playtime, it puts quite a bit of stress on you.
