I do wish there was a good way for folks who don't raid to get some things at raid levels. Last year Iron Banner would help out by offering one piece of raid level each round. You couldn't get a full set unless you ran it each iteration, and it didn't always help if all you were missing was say the books, but they were offering arms that time. But it helped. For some reason raid RNG wouldn't give me arms last time, but I was able to get them from IB. At least this year RNG has been better for my team and I in the raid, but one of my friends focuses exclusively on PVP, and I kinda feel for him.
