Honestly what is the point of LFR at this point?

LFR is harder to complete than most bosses on Normal mode at this point. Perfect example is Eranog. I joined an LFR group on 2 stacks of determination because 60% of the DPS tunneled the boss and ignored the cage adds, or focused the wrong cage add. This happened 2 more times before finally clearing the boss.

At most this error would happen once on Normal before people got the point. There really isn’t a reason to do LFR at this point if you’ve even got half a functioning brain because you can clear normal so much easier. You can’t even say you prefer to queue for LFR because LFG is just a queue system.

as someone who cannot commit to joining a guild, nor do I do any Mythic grouping of any kind, I will not have the experience or the gear to be invited to a normal group and in the past have been turned down repeatedly because of this.

LFR at least lets me do the raid, even if I only do it once or twice for the story.

Also if you dont like LFR…then just dont do it? If your runing normals or higher theres really no reason to do LFR…so just don’t do it and leave it for those people who do want to do it.

I don’t do PvP, its not my thing, but I dont go to the forums and ask Blizzard to remove it, that would be assinine.

thats why they get stacks usually. when i doing LFR and they get more then 1 stack usually it’s because they are not doing mechanics. certain bosses might be challenging but for the most part it shouldn’t be a huge issue.

not much you can really do tbh i mean it’s made up of a bunch of randoms of course they won’t work together. it really is no different then irl throw in a bunch of random people to do something chances are they won’t get it done compared to people who have been working together for a while yet alone half the people being randoms.

It’s still decent gearing for alts and a zero-pressure way for soloers to experience the raid.

Ah, shoot. I was gonna try to do it on Monday to get my 2pc. Maybe I’ll get a couple friends to come along and hope we can carry.

I’ll take casual LFR all day, you can have the guild schedule obligations and more requirement of your role.

Make normal able to be randomly queued then talk to me about lfr being unnecessary.

Same thing applies for people who say the same thing about heroic and M0.

Yet I know people killing Mythic bosses who are still doing LFR to try and get tier.

The weekly raid lockout, and the throttling that it puts on gearing through the raid, is a problem, and Blizzard needs to address it eventually.

My question is when will it be that the top players will complain enough for there to be a legendary mode when mythic gets too easy for them. We have too many difficulties as it is and I hate they gave in to go to make a mythic raid version.

I mean, as a former LFR “Hero”, I learned that you do it on Tuesday, right after reset, or your groups and queue will suffer.

Put RWF on a tournament realm and let them load out bis and drop the lockout for normal players!

^ 100% this. Putting RWF on its own tournament server, like they do for AWC and MDI, would solve so many issues.

Tournament server:

  • Loot lockouts.
  • Forced 20-man size for Mythic.
  • Absurdly overtuned fights.

Regular servers:

  • No lockouts (just like Mythic+)
  • Mythic raid scales above and below 20 players, like the 3 other difficulties.
  • Reasonably tuned fights (you know, like they are 3 months after RWF).

Love LFR! I don’t do the PvE seriously, but I like to see the inside of the raid and get some gear on my craft/gatherer alts… Fun stuff.

I like LFR, I simply don’t think it serves a purpose in the current game. Idk why you feel the need to be defensive.
