Queuable old raids sure and maybe normal, but higher difficulties require coordination to be successful and random people have nothing invested to try when things go wrong. I could see normal be queuable now that season 2 is coming, but definitely not on release.
Fair point, and I don’t know why I read into the idea as replacing normal with a queue, rather than having it available both ways. More options are always better. I do know after having to endure clown show LFR to gear up for normal, I would not subject myself to the same experience in harder content.
because it’s a very bad idea.
Yeah sure why not. Would LFR mythic raiding have determination?
None of them could.
Which is why a test program going without Determination in LFR for an expansion should be done first.
It would definitely bring players back do it blizz I’m tired of playing a dead game.

It’s similar, yes.
Right now I could form a mythic raid group and list it, I can even say I want a minimum ilvl etc. But I’m still going to get flooded with applications from a LOT of people wanting that slot, and most of them are not going to be what I’m looking for. So I’ve got to sort through the list of people who apply, with no filters, until I find someone that fits the criterea I want and then I can invite them. Depending on how many people request an invite it can be a chore to sort through.
Where as what I am suggesting is a list that I, as a raid leader, can sort through of people who are looking for a mythic raid group. Not mine specifically, but any mythic raid group. If I need a certain class I should be able to filter out the classes I am not looking for. I should also be able to see gear and talents, so I know if the resto-druid I am inviting has the right talents I need for a specific fight and isn’t just wearing PvP gear to boost their ilvl.
Basically more tools for the raid leader and the people queuing aren’t going to queue for multiple groups at the same time hoping for an invite from one of them.
Hmm, it might work, if Blizzard manage to set it up right. The main problem I’d see is that if you had, say, 20 people doing what you are doing, then people’s names would be going out of the list faster than you might be able to work through it; it would be constantly changing - a bit like the AH where you try to buy something at a certain price and it sells before you can click on it to buy. That could lead to a lot of annoyance, and you know how well WoW players deal with annoyance…
No, they shouldn’t
They haven’t done this, because then they would have to balance each raid around not knowing what kind of party each group will have.
That’s why lfr is as easy as it is.
Because its a terrible idea.
After seeing what goes on in LFR, there’s just no way that harder content will ever be queueable.
