I killed Archimonde and saved Draenor from annihilation - and all I got was a daily's worth of Apexis Crystals.
They say crime doesn't pay, but being a hero is barely a step up.

Description
We have heard rumors that one of the strongest of the eredar could soon enter this world through the Black Gate. If these rumors are to be believed, it could even be Archimonde the Defiler. Should he arrive uncontested, Draenor itself is likely to fall.
Getting there
Inside the raid: Hellfire Citadel
When Garrosh encouraged Grommash to begin construction of this massive stronghold at the heart of Tanaan Jungle, to serve as a staging ground for the assault of Azeroth, he even suggested the name Hellfire, pulled from a different time and a different land.
