Well, the week got to the point I am losing interest in the game. Finally got two drops and both could not use. On my other three, I got a total of 1 drop. Even doing mythic I can not get anything decent.
Between that, energy regains being way off. I have 30% haste. My spells are done before my energy regains on my rogue,hunter, and druid. It really just put me in the mood to take an extended break. Not complaining about DSPs. Just sitting there waiting for energy to fill up is boring. My hunter one time with bonuses had 50% haste and still, it was slow.
Do not get me started with all the same gear week after week.
You assume people would roll off loot, if they had any.
Up until about 2 weeks ago I was still using a helmet and belt I got from week 1 in hardmode Taz, I finally got a belt from someone else, it took almost 3 months to get someone else’s belt and I still haven’t had one of my own drop and I have both AOTC and KSM so it’s not like I am not running content.
Around the same time I finally got a helmet, from M+ that I had to spend valour to upgrade. Have never seen enough helmets drop in my guilds runs, I have never even had the chance to /roll for a spare helmet it’s been that bad.
It makes no difference what difficulty you run, if loot doesn’t drop enough you simply won’t gear up. The only good thing if you run a premade is that you have a higher chance to finish faster and that’s it. But than based on what some of my guild members see where premade guilds fail on the first boss in a normal raid, yeh it might not actually be that much better.
I’ve been raiding since each raid tier has been open, and yes people roll loot, but you assume we have loot to roll. SoD has been out since July 6 and I have only missed one raid week that entire time, it wasn’t until last week that I finally got a piece of loot no one wanted.
That is 2 months and 3 weeks of raiding, or 12 entire raids of both Wednesday and Thursday and some days on Friday, we started this raid tier on heroic and it took me 11 entire raids before people no longer needed loot.
Sure go raid, but don’t expect it to be any easier to obtain loot just because people do roll loot, they still have to get the loot to begin with and you need to win the roll when loot eventually becomes available.
And when your raid moves up in difficulty it all starts again, so if you run normal and don’t get to fill all slots, but you raid moves to heroic, than you are basically starting from zero hoping you get loot or your raid offers a roll, and if you are still missing slots and your raid moves to mythic than it starts again, but this time worse because it takes longer to kill each boss and therefore longer between loot chances.
Based on my experience in raiding in every raid tier that I have been here for, it’s far worse now than it ever has been and even in the past it wasn’t easy, some raid tiers I finished missing items because nothing dropped and no one had any spare gear and it wasn’t like I stopped raiding, the raid tier ended.
I’ve heard this so many times. Could you link us to your source that told you that 100% of players in LFR are afk 100% of the time, and the bosses commit suicide?
How is it someone who uses “champ” as a slur while lying considers themselves in any way credible?
What if a person is a bad player, and likes playing terribly. Wants to stand in stuff while bursting. You want them to join a regular group and stop them from progressing?
The point is: If LFR is intended to give the casual player base (such as me) a taste of what raids (the big thing in WoW) why don’t put normal on the LFG? There are literally no changes from LFR to Normal, except Ilvl.
WRONG. The point of LFR is so ultra casual players that don’t want to raid, have a way of experiencing the story to see what happens in the raids.
That’s how it was implemented in Cataclysm and that’s how blizzard has looked at it ever since.
Lfr is in no way even remotely similar to normal difficulty, and most definitely not heroic or mythic.
If you want a taste for raids, go run normal. Normal is super easy, especially this far into the tier.
I will ignore the fact that you said I’m wrong while repeating the same words I used. Answering the quote, if normal is that easy then, again, there is no need for LRF. Raid dialogues rarely show something super important and most “Ultra casual players” will know what they want to know about the story on YouTube. LFR is just a time waste on both sides, being there pressing your buttons and being carried by some 250Ilvel mythic raider who is helping gear a guildmate alt it’s not fun nor important to story.
