The correct way is raiding at least on normal
You don’t get bis gear from LFR as zereth mortis offers higher item level gear
So really LFR is meant for people who can’t do normal raid and up and just want to see the story
But you’re going to have ups and downs of LFR and you should expect it too
Many people would do it because raiding is fun, the gear can also be stronger because of passive effects from things like trinkets and tier sets, etc
It has nothing to do with comfort zone and everything to do with lack of expensive equipment and/or time, and even if it was a comfort issue, that’s not an excuse to artificiality drag out content to simulate a progression curve.
No one is expecting BIS gear from LFR
Except players who are doing normal/heroic/mythic progression typically don’t enter LFR to begin with. Gating this content only hurts people who want to experience the content, and doesn’t benefit the players who weren’t going to do it anyways.
Barely qualifies as raid.
Can be acquired outside now.
Trinkets, I guess. That heavily varies from one tier to the next. My damage tank trinkets I use now are both from m+.
If it has tier behind it, they certainly would. And Wing 1 will have a piece of tier.
Oh you can bet the raiders will be in LFR in droves to get tier sets. Will allow more LFR to afk I guess.
But it is a raid, whether you consider it to be one or not. We can do without the thinly veiled condescension, thanks
Still requires base items from either m+ or raid to convert into tier items.
Further more, casual players deserve to have a variety of content.
No serious guild will be in LFR instead of putting time into the raid, and even if they did, why would that be a bad thing?
Then why is it bad you have to wait an extra week for it?
I’m not going to tell you to go do normal or heroic-- I get that people have different priorities and comfort levels. That being said, I don’t see why waiting one week for a queue-able version of the raid is the end of the world. Like, we’re gonna have a LOT of time to kill this tier. One week isn’t going to make a difference.
Did I say it was a bad thing? But some/many will believe it is, because it forces them to do it to be competitive. The same way some raid guilds require participation in m+ because the rate of gearing is by far superior to raiding.

Wish there was a minimum requirement you must attempt in LFR
Like there should be a check system to see if you’re afk dpsing or not
If you are you don’t get loot
LFR is more toxic than the rest of the raiding modes, everyone should be actively attempting to down the boss
It’s actually closer to two months to see the entire raid because it’s two weeks between releases.
Absolutely not lmao
Lfr has some good transmog colors for certain classes. Its a shame that its so timegated. Definetly doing that on my monk and dk.
They have to tune LFR for guaranteed success to the lowest common denominator, so the only way to have the progression arc of the story is to artificially simulate it with gating. It is a direct result of LFR bosses being target dummies with loot.
But if lfr is opened up the first week, that’s on you for not doing lfr for the story completion if you can’t do it on normal or heroic.
Incredibly cringe reading your posts in this thread.
Or they don’t gate it all and let players experience the story without delay, as doing so doesn’t affect any other players.
If you want to play faceroll mode your progression gets simulated by timegating.
They’re not delaying you. Normal and heroic release.
They shouldn’t have banned people who had someone pilot their mage tower challenge.
It didn’t affect anyone else.
It affects the players doing it. They don’t want players finishing the raid Week 1 and then complaining that they’re all done and asking what is left. So you get gated to match a more natural progression arc experienced by other raiders in their chosen difficulty.
It’s not for us, it’s for you.
Yeah, that is kind of my issue with LFR. I think it hurts the number of new players who look to do other raiding because they think that is what raiding is. It isn’t, but how would they know better.
Raiding LFR isn’t against the TOS. Blatant false equivalence.
“You think you do but you don’t”
Because this feature has been out for over a decade. Literally no players think that LFR raiding is an accurate representation of higher difficulty levels in raids.
