Who thought that getting raid drops outside of the raid would be fun? Or... Who thought it would be more fun than having those things drop IN the raid after beating a hard encounter??? The satisfaction of beating a challenge and receiving a good drop is totally lost from this! Or at least somewhat lost. I think Moldering Shards were a much better system than the tokens/vendor. It's a really weird system and I don't see any logic behind it at all. The gear should drop from the raid! Not the vendor! It's just weird!
