Seems like there have been leak or something, but these seem to be the new T7 sets! This doesen't have every class' sets, only Priest, Mage, Warlock, Rogue and Hunter. Damn, hunter's set is cool!

The mage one looks really crappy

. It really looks like you're wearing plate instead of cloth, just like a pally. Can imagine why people call it the pally set.

Actually, we will. T7 is for 10-man, T8 for 25-man.

I thought that (well, assuming that they have again 3 new tiers), we'll get T7 and T8 just fine. No idea how it's implemented though - will 25-man Lich King drop T9 and 10-man LK drop T8's? Or what did the "one tier difference in gear" mean...

I think 1 tier difference means, you can only get t7 in 10-man and only t8 in 25-man. I don't think it's probable that t9 would be implemented already.

So:
10-man: tier 7 loot
25-man: tier 8 loot

Easy

I bet that both give T7, but they are slightly different. Or both give same same, if 10 man are as hard as 25 man raids.

I still don't get where you are getting that there will be only 2 tiers, considering what's happened before:

Azeroth:

MC: Tier 1 (Entry level)
Ony+ BWL: Tier 2 (Medium level)
AQ40: Tier 2.5
Naxx: Tier 3 (End-level)

TBC:

Karazhan, Gruul, Maggy: Tier 4 (Entry level)
ZA: "Tier 4.5 quality", no real sets
SSC/TK:Tier 5 (Medium level)
Hyjal/BT/Sunwell: Tier 6 (8-piece set) (End-level)

So,

WotLK

Utgarde, Nexus (Onystyle): Tier 7 (Entry-level)
Chamber of Aspects, Ulduar: Tier 8 (Medium-level)
Icecrown Citadel: Tier 9 (Lich king, endgame)

So, going with this, I'm just thinking that the 10-mans will drop stuff that's "Tier-1", so Icecrown drops T8 stuff at 10-man, and so on.

But I don't see them dropping the three tiers/expansion.

Well, when the expansion came out, we only had 2 tiers. The third came when hyjal and BT were added.

The same was with naxxramas.

So, if they're saying that the difference between 10 and 25 man is one tier, and if they continue with only giving two tiers first (like always) and the third or more later, then I wonder how they're going to make that one tier difference. 25-man would have to start out with tier 8 while 10-man starts out with tier 7. But it's not logical either that for the later 10-man instances you would get tier 8 as well, while the 25-man instances had tier 8 already. Unless you get the same items in later 10-man instances as in early 25-man instances.

Questions questions questions. It sure isn't much clearer yet.
