Part of the problem is that unless you are running the ICC Heroics, you aren't in end-game content. Emblems of Triumph buy ilvl232 items, the majority of Northrend Heroics drop ilvl200. I prefer the similar looks in gear while questing because it doesn't give the clownsuit feel, but I think they want to go back to a more vanilla feel in Cataclysm.

Epics become far less rare the farther into an expansion you get. It was exactly the same in BC, though I'll give you this game is getting steadily easier, but this isn't new information. They're also continually adding hard fun stuff as well. That's what heroic raids and hardmodes are for.
The only reason random heroics are easier than random normals is because the really overgeared people are still motivated to run a random heroic every day because it rewards the raid level emblems. If it wasn't for this, heroics would be a bit harder. But again, you're coming in at the end of an expansion, so you're at the stage where they're trying to make it easy for you to gear yourself up for endgame (heroics aren't endgame right now, they're just another stepping stone).
Blizzard intentionally cut down the different looks of each armor type from 70-80 greens and blues to two or three per armor type because people complained about looking like retarded barf clowns while leveling in BC.
If you think the game is way too easy right now, just put it down and come back in cataclysm and try your hardest to be one of the first people on your realm to beat the biggest raid available or be the highest rated battleground team.

Yeah, but in today's game, even if you had ilvl232 rares, people would still go ape with "OMG! YOUHAZ BLUES! GET OUT MAH RAID!"
Maybe that'll be thwarted somewhat in Cataclysm, but right now it can't be helped.

This ^^
Let me quote somebody... Unless you're farming H LK 25, then the game isn't "too easy"
While I admit the game is getting easier, the main reason is that you're running with 264+ geared people who run heroics for the emblems. Not to mention you've come at the end of an expansion.

its very telling that EVERY PIECE OF ARMOR IN WOTLK LOOKS THE SAME, from lvl 71-80. blizzard got lazy and had to rush this expansion out
That's because everyone complained about the gay flowery rainbows on everything in BC. The armor looks cool, realistic, and functional now.
Also, if you think PvE is too easy, then go try ICC heroic.

One thing blizz could do, would be adding heroic servers, not that i see they does that, but a fun thing to ponder about.
What i mean with heroic server is basically same script like a normal but more tuned up, a mob is 5 times harder or something. You are playing heroic mode all this game. And alot of the safety system who is existing in servers now, is removed so it becomes even tougher.
Could be something for people who are bored.
Another thing is that they could add more layers to a 5 man dungeon, perhaps something harder than heroic mode, but not totally over given than normal mode for people bored to grind.
But i gotta agree with the poster, epics are not epics anymore. If you did not play vanilla content you do not have a clue about the feeling to get your first epics or better epics for that matter, it was a great feeling. Now epics are like greens.
Hope in cata they add another layer, like legendary gear sets for heroic modes, with quest chains to obtain them after you get the first item. And one or two artifacts from deathwing content.
