This lone screenshot has spawned a lot of excitement, by presenting us with a glance of what sort of itemization we can expect to see in the mid-60s. If you're already decked out in epic gear, these items might make you cry, but if you aren't, they might make you jump for joy. (My thought is that they never should have allowed Goblins to name these things.) The items in the screenshot, for those who can't bother to click on, include the following...QR 9977 2H Axe
Two-Hand Axe
221 - 333 Damage Speed 3.40
(81.5 damage per second)
+31 Strength
+30 Agility
+45 Stamina
QR 9977 Caster Staff
Two-Hand Staff
92 - 162 Damage Speed 2.10
(60.4 damage per second)
+45 Stamina
+31 Intellect
Equip: Improves spell critical strike rating by 30.
Equip: Increases damage and healing done by magical spells and effects by up to 85.
QR 9977 DPS Dagger
One-Hand Dagger

(62.6 damage per second)
+13 Agility
+19 Stamina
Equip: +26 Attack Power
QR 9977 Feral Staff
Two-Hand Staff
144 - 253 Damage Speed 3.30

+13 Agility
+19 Stamina

QR 9977 Healer Mace
The screenshot, for some reason, does not include a mouseover of this mace. However, later in the thread, someone comments that the mace has "160ish +healing and some other stats I dont recall."

Yeah, tons of posts about that screenshot on the WoW forums, most of them ZOMG your epix are gonna be usless!!! lolo11one11!
The very very crucial part that everyone seems to be conveniently leaving out is that that quest is a PvP reward quest loosely equivalent to the current HW/GM rank stuff. With the new PvP system coming, yes it will be available to everyone. But I gaurantee you it will take a tremendous amount of PvP grinding to get it.
Taken out of context for the massive loss.

I think it's pretty obvious that the names of those weapons are just for beta purposes.

A couple things: First, /agree with druid dude. I would be surprised if this is the type of reward we'll see from "normal" quests (as in, you can do this without quitting your job or cutting back to 4 hours sleep a night).
Second - Ha. Ha. Ha. After the hilarity that ensued when raids were announced as 25-man, I can't wait for the whining we're going to see about level 68 greens being better than gear raiders spent months getting. Puts things in perspective when items that exist only as numbers and graphics become useless... even in the GAME.
