realistically suggests that the Dragon Soul LFR wont be released for several reasons:
- Alternative Avenues for Rewards: The mention of preparing alternative avenues for players to acquire LFR rewards implies that the gear will be obtainable through other means. This reduces the necessity for LFR, as players can get the desired loot without participating in it.
- Reduced Incentive for LFR Release: If players can obtain the gear through other methods, the incentive to release DS LFR diminishes. The primary appeal of LFR is accessibility to gear; if that gear is available elsewhere, the motivation to implement LFR is significantly weakened.
- Developer Focus on Fixing LFR for Mists of Pandaria (MoP): Given the alternative avenues for loot acquisition, it’s even more plausible that the developers are diverting their focus to fixing LFR for MoP rather than prioritizing its release for DS. Ensuring a polished LFR experience in MoP should take precedence over implementing it in DS when the rewards can be accessed differently.
- Delay or Possible Cancellation: The statement acknowledges the desire for LFR gear but does not commit to its release for DS. The absence of a definitive plan for DS LFR suggests that it could be delayed or potentially canceled. The developers’ efforts might be more directed towards resolving existing issues and preparing for future content.
