Well, actually it's worse than just having to do sagas … see the release notes in the link below:

But the pertinent details (copied out of that page) are:
Sagas:
NEW: Epic level Saga rewards now include the option to select "Commendations of Valor:"
Commendations of Valor are a Bound to Character currency which fit in the Ingredient Bag.
If you remove the Commendations of Valor from your ingredient bag and doubleclick on them, a shop interface will open in which you can spend your Commendations of Valor for the following rewards:
Heroic True Heart of Wood (Bound to Character) currently requires 900 Commendations of Valor on Lamannia.
Iconic True Heart of Wood (Bound to Character) currently requires 1150 Commendations of Valor on Lamannia.
Epic Heart of Wood (Bound to Character) currently requires 2000 Commendations of Valor on Lamannia.
True Hearts of Wood are no longer available at The Twelve.
Anyone want to grind out those 900 commendations for every toon? Oh, and since the TR hearts are now going to be bound to character, plan on doing every one of those quests on every single toon you want to TR, for however many times are needed to complete the sagas to get enough commendations to get the heart.
Of course, if you're a VIP, you are allowed to skip one (but only one) quest in a saga, or if you're not, you can pay shards instead. But I don't know if that's for every saga or only once per character. Haven't gotten that far yet on any of my toons. And I don't know if that will still be true with the new system.
