One of the major community upsets in this patch is the removal of attunement to some of the more difficult instances causing many players wanting to "purchase" a raid spot in order to attend the raid and loot one specific item if it drops. Strong raiding guilds can often carry one person into a raid if they're able to successfully farm a boss so it's not unreasonable that lower equipped/skilled players may soon be walking around with difficult to obtain gear. We'll see how this plays out in the long run and personally I don't think it's that big of a deal.
