this was suggested along time ago -I forgot by who and if its still even there.- But a lot of people said no due to balance issues. Which I can understand considering the way pvp has been lately.
side note: And to the people who can't go to NW, BH does give a fair amount of ST now. If your like me and lazy, And stack their bh. Then you wont have a problem getting Ascended gears. (Mostly do this on alts..)
