Thanks for caving to the elitists.

They said plans were paused, not cancelled. So LFR will just not available at release, instead coming later.

How does this have anything to do with “elitists”??
My guys making up news now.
What they actually said was this…
Raid Finder
In last week’s PTR notes, we indicated that Dragon Soul’s Raid Finder mode would be ready for testing soon. Unfortunately, after an evaluation of its current progress, it’s clear to us the implementation we’ve been working towards will be an unsatisfying experience for players.
We’ve made the decision to pause our plans to implement the Dragon Soul Raid Finder.
We recognize that the rewards from Raid Finder, particularly gear at the very start of the raid tier, are highly desired. We’re preparing alternative avenues for players to acquire those rewards, whether or not they participate in the other difficulties of the raid. We will have more to share on this soon.
Thank you for your participation and your feedback!
Looks like they might offer different avenues to get the gear, maybe the new currency from heroic+ or whatever they are called.

I hope this is a one-off thing.
I fully expect Classic expansions to be able to be played exactly the same way as it played back then (with new modes like heroic+ being an optional thing).
I want to play the Legendary questlines in MoP Classic and WoD Classic again.
I was able to do that in 2012-2014 and I expect it to be there in Classic too, with the same accessibility, i.e. LFR!
I will not join a guild that requires social commitment to non-RL people. I will also not join PUGs that may even require me to kill Mythic Garrosh AotC in order to join Mogushan Vaults Normal.
But I will replay the Legendary questlines with LFR.

I mean they did the same with the garbage firelands tunning too.
What is there even left for this devs besides the bare minimum and “pretending” they are listening but only to a very few amount when it comes to important and actual fun things in general and not for a very few?
This seems like the perfect excuse for them so they dont invest resources, time and atention to fix or care about LFR.
This expansion had nothing going on in general. Mop without lfr, means people will keep this raid log state until whatever happens happens with this abomination they call “classic”.

Awesome!!!
did you even read the post or just the title? See that’s whats wrong with todays average person. They only read the title of an article and then think they know everything. really annoying.

No it is not. Why do you think so?
Its because the people that blow through content (elites) and quit in 1-3 weeks after a raid opens feel the need to get gear quicker and quit faster.

The “Elites” aren’t the ones quitting.

The way it’s hinted at, we’ll be getting the loot from that via some kind of inferno fissure stone replacement vendor, which is much better than the dealing with all the loot drama that LFR will force to exist.
What would be really cool is if it was a choice. I know a lot of people would probably enjoy the loot drama from LFR over running the same dungeons we’ve been running but upscaled for bosses to take 10 minutes to kill.

What you see as an A or B choice would (in practice for a lot of people) turn into just A and B. (unless they implemented my suggestion, which is to make LFR share a lockout with N/H).
They’re not caving to anyone.
They can’t get it to work right. It’s not a design decision. It’s one of incompetence.

Thats not anyones problem but their own. If they feel compelled to run it, why should that take from my fun?
Realistically, it hasn’t been fully canceled.
The current work in progress was deemed to be unfun, and they don’t think they can get a fun version out in time with the patch, so it’s just going to arrive later.
BYE! WoW is an MMORPG. Go play Skyrim.

Yeah, I don’t really know what he’s talking about there.
The only fight change I’d like to see for Firelands is to clean up how RNG can impact the difficulty of P4 Ragnaros.
A non-fight design thing to addres would be fireball taking 4 seconds from end of cast to hit Rag in P1 would also be nice.
