The standard entitled attitude, someone makes a logical observation, they try to attack you.
The problem here is that catering to lazy/uncaring players is just not sustainable in the long run and they’ve started to realize it, change is coming.

Because all the players that love LFR would leave if no gear dropped! that’s why … you and your alt are one person, there are 1000’s of people that raid LFR for gear
But have no fear, Blizzard knows the stats and LFR isn’t being removed

Who me? i was misquoted and speaking the truth.
Blizzard Entertainment aka Activision Blizzard is a Business they will cater to anyone who finds their game desirable, and as a player you get the exact same rights as anyone else regardless of raid progression or how ever much of the game you play, your OPINION matters the same as theirs, and just because you don’t like LFR does not mean they need to remove it, it means you need to avoid it as its not required. and if them having access to content catered to there play style the same as you having access to content for yours somehow triggers you i would suggest you take a look in the mirror and ask yourself what makes you better than them or more deserving when you pay the same sub they do?

I’m half convinced one of the reasons this game pulls back less and less players each content release is because a decent portion of them are discovering how queue systems work in Final Fintasy 14 and are staying there. I almost did but i dislike their class systems.
That game isn’t my cup of tea but it’s refreshing that the game doesn’t just assume it’s entire population is incapable like a hold-holding helicopter parent so it allows up to the equal of “heroic” to be in the queue.
If anything LFR isn’t enough.

I don’t think anyone is actually foolish enough to think LFR is going away.

But…why? You can get better gear with less effort.
Obviously. I was never arguing for it’s removal. But thanks for trying.

lol 2019.
The problem with catering to lazy/uncaring players is that they will quickly burn through their “targeted content” because, you know, they can’t lose.
And once they try the more reasonable content (have a clue of what you’re doing or die) they flood the forums and get everything nerfed/watered down/pruned. This is why lazy modes are just not good for the game’s health, and Activision Blizzard has noticed it’s no longer as profitable so change is coming.

because any form of raiding without a gear reward would be a hard pass and the people that love LFR such as myself would leave the game since it has no end game for us, Blizzard would cut profits and the game would shut down soon after
does it make sense now?

can you link your cutting edge please? or aotc?
I think you are extremely over entitled and assume if the game doesn’t function the way you want it will fail.
you seem to have such an ego about this game that i doubt you actually enjoy content as much as you enjoy telling people how awesome you are.
And i think you are going to have a long hard life with that attitude.

I didn’t say you were arguing for it’s removal, so there is no need to thank me 
as far as gear goes, just about everything that drops or can be upgraded is better than what drops in LFR atm, but usually this isn’t the case I.E Legion, WoD, MoP you had to raid at least LFR if you wanted better gear
The Game Director is a white collar lawyer who ran Elitist Jerks in Wrath, and his business choices have only lead to this game bleeding more players and money. He is clearly more interested in following Wildstar’s failed choices while keeping just enough of the average playerbase happy to not get cut off from Acti-Blizz.
A good example of how he responds to genuine player feedback is pathfinder. The players were overwhelmingly pro-flight when he tried to remove the feature for what we can now easily assume was the sake of starting this time-played-metric nonsense, and because keeping us at a 1/3rd speed and on the ground was easier for him .
So instead we got pathfinder. Same crap but with a different system.
Elitist choices are not a profitable market and these are not the decisions of a man following one. Even if you believe that, speaking as though the playerbase has been catered to is disingenuous at best.
The World’s more popular games right now are shooting simulators, a cartoon apocalypse shooting simulator, and casual sports simulators… not elitism riddled mmorpgs.
If they were going for profit they’d start copying the mmos starting to beat retail, or listen to player feedback which they haven’t done since Mists (I was in the Mists, and WoD beta…) You know. The last time this game was actually popular?
Nice fanfiction you wrote there, though.

Being able to see the content alone with a click of a button and not having to do the heavy work of being in a guild and getting it done as a group, is a reward in itself that doesn’t require much effort. If lfr rewarding gear it should only be cosmetic.
If you really want that extreme endgame gear time should be set aside to obtain it.

why does someone else having gear stop you from getting it?

Mythic gear is much stronger and rewarding than LFR gear. I have no idea what you are getting upset about. You seem to be one of those people who wants to control who raids and who doesn’t.

You’re able to see the same content which was the main reason why Lfr was developed in the first place. There should be no issues with that.

Go run lfr, then go run mythic, then tell me if its
the gear has the letters LFR right across them and and item level that shows how easily obtainable they are (Same ilvl as world quest purples) the “Hardcore” community don’t even acknowledge it as real gear…
Can you people please at least get aotc before you start complaining about how lfr is ruining the game for the hardcore kids? because most of you are in the same demographic you want left out.

I didn’t know I was under it.
LFR was developed because raiding Guilds were dying in Cataclysm after this game lost popularity. Anything else they said was an excuse people ate up because companies never lie.

Few people raid because people are queueing for LFR, beating the content, not making friends, then quitting. So not only are few people raiding, few people are even sticking around in WoW. I look through the forums and see no love or passion for the game, but just people concerned about getting rewarded conveniently and expediently. A very “I only care for me” mindset. That’s a poor market to cater to and Blizz deserves a good chunk of its sub losses for it.
The game reached 12 million subs without ever needing LFR. Those were previously thought to be impossible numbers for an MMO. LFR showed no positive impact on sub count. It turns out that its impact is statistically insignificant. But it doesn’t matter, because the game is designed by devs just as passionless as its playerbase.

yes, so why are you worried about it then? are you going to recruit all those new players and carry them threw content with your guild with a smile in the hopes of doing the game a service? or are you going to complain they don’t know mechanics and demand that your raid lead kicks them?
