Heroic badges exchangable for Valor on PTR

Had this tidbit of information come through my RSS feed from WOW Insider

Apparently they are experimenting with an exchange system between Badges of Heroism and Badges of Valor at a rate of 10:1. (You give them 10 Heroism, and get 1 Valor).

The description on WOW Insider was that this seems a bit pointless (At least at this exchange rate)... I disagree.

There are many that do not have the time, or ability to get into Naxx - be it the inability to meet the requirements of a raiding guild, or having such little play time that Naxx Pugs are not convenient. Under these circumstances, if they ever reach 80, they might become a heroic junkie. Heroics get easier and easier as people get better and better gear so it is feasible that prep to boss down is less than an hour for a number of runs, and a collection of badges can be made.

Over time, this collection becomes obsolete (Can we exchange Badges of Justice the same way please? Obviously at a hideous exchange rate, since they can be solo farmed by some in a short time.) and just sits there, it is now that it would be nice to be able to do something with these other than buying the occasional Frozen Orb.

Enter, the Valor token exchange.

To me this makes sense. It is not perfect, and most wont give a damn, but for a select number of people, it is nice - and such niceties keep people playing, keeping blizzard in profit (despite what their stocks might show :S) and getting them churning out new content.

Thats my 2 cents anyway.
