I have a small confession to make - I enjoyed doing contracts. They were fun, easy little things to do, and they got me the chance for great rewards. Fun cosmetics, pets, and RUNES!! Those beautiful, expensive purple runes. But now...I'm pretty meh about them. Bummed, really. You see, they don't drop any useful runes for me anymore. The best you can get is superb level stuff. For those in raiding gear, we want the pure and divine. Apparently, you can ONLY get those in the raids (or by breaking down raiding level gear). I just think this is a bit much. I get, on one hand, that people who aren't raiding don't need runes that go in raid level gear. I get that you should gear up for raids in...well..raids. But runes are HUGE. They are the biggest part of our gear. And there's a lot of people in a raid sharing the few rune things that drop. But the bigger issue is that it means there's nothing I can do (short of spam dungeon running for glory and the buying and breaking down glory gear) to try and improve upon my runes outside of raid time. This makes this system, which already feels a bit brutal, feel even worse.
 
For a lot of my raiders (myself included), contracts were a great reason to log in, even for a little while, on non-raid days and fill up that bar to earn some runes (and maybe a pet or mount). Now, that motivation is mostly gone. Additionally, they are frustrated by the cost of runing gear and the time it will take to really get it done. I can't even think about re-gearing up my alt. I get a headache just considering it. I think a lot of goodwill could be earned back by putting pure and divine rune creating stuff into the high level contract loot tables. Please?
