incorrect . Trinkets with good effects and especially tier gear were often far better even at LFR level than anything else . Some Mythic guilds forced their members to run LFR plus normal plus heroic plus their mythic runs each week till they had them . heroic guilds would do lfr/normal and heroic , etc .
Bliz realised this wasnt a good thing and changed the release shedule an couple of expansions ago.
Well, you could be right. Normal and above are naturally organised group experiences. I tend to think the premade system for putting raid groups together is only a short step away from LFR since you dont know the people from past experience (generally) and unless you are paying to be carried there will always be a degree of disappointment from failures. Obviously guild runs or organised runs through other channels such as communities and Discord groups will provide a better experience.
I doubt your idea of the single player NPC fight would have worked. They would have had to design an entirely new system for every fight of every raid, whereas LFR just needs tinkering to adjust it to that lower scale. They could have tried other things, perhaps slicing up LFR into single boss queues so people could pick a selection and if there was a wipe at least it wasnt an entire LFR wing wipe. But it is what it is and unless they remove it, or make it more difficult I doubt there will be much change.
Oh it could work. If anyone didnât play in Wrath (or doesnât remember), you might want to check out Battle for the Undercity when we get Wrath classic.
Or just watch it on youtube. There are different Horde & Alliance versions.
It would be more work for Blizzard. LFR is their cheap cop-out solution that didnât do what they hoped it would.
LOLâyou have no idea of what being a member of a team is do you . The team is the only thing that counts -individual wants are a distant second , if you didnt do everything in your power to help teh team ( like stepping in front of a field hockey ball and letting it hit you to save a goal , or letting a pitch hit you in baseball/softball to get to first base safely) you dont belong in one . same with a raiding team , do everything in your power to get the best possible gear to give your team teh best possible chance of progressing through teh raid . Nothing to do with draconian leaders
Because what difficulty there was in LFR bosses was eliminated when they added the Determination buff. Which is why the stretched calendar was added in the same patch as Determination.
If the encounters themselves cannot be the progression, theyâll mimic progression through the release calendar.
So wouldnât it make sense to also stagger the other difficulties too since theyâd have to run those too? Or make secondary stats not as strong on lower ilvl gear.
