LFR is too weak to motivate replaying it

370 just isn’t worth the time, especially with no sets or legendaries to shoot for

I feel like BfA is constantly trying to demotivate me from playing due to stingy, meager, and trash rewards

I agree LFR gear shouldn’t be great, but lets compare it to Cata/MoP/WoD era where we weren’t flooded with alternatives that were equal or higher. In the past, it was 5-mans > LFR > Normal > Heroic+.

Now its 5-mans = BGs = WF Grinding> LFR = Invasions = Arathi WF > M0 > WQ Emissary > M+ = Heroic+ = Rated PVP = Weekly Quest = Darkshore WF> Mythic

LFR has no place in progression like it used to because there are so many equivalents available, and those equivalents are AFK / solo type content that is faster, easier, more guaranteed drops

(Yea, I missed some, yea a couple might be a little off).

I’ve basically done nothing this expac and have a cool 390. What’s the point of LFR? It played a much greater role in prior expacs, especially when you could get that set bonus too.

yeah you are right, the problem is the equivalent easier paths make it worthless now

it used to be a solid endgame for a while until you got vendor currency for conquest or valor gear. Now’s its not even that.

I roll LFR for multiple reasons. Mainly to try out different specs/gear/builds in a raid environment. I also like to get that sweet Bwonsomdi breath for crafting and some augment runes for normal and heroic raids.

I also like being top 3 damage or top healing for a change lol.

i mainly run lfr for the call to arms bags (tank) and the chance of transmogs.

That’s the POINT. LFR shouldn’t be mandatory for anyone. It’s not meant to be an “endgame path”, it’s just a way to see the raids. I’m so glad no one is forced to suffer through the absolute travesty that is LFR to get gear anymore, now casual players are free to run mythic dungeons along with other alternative means.

Stop trying to make LFR a part of the gearing process. It shouldn’t be one, and the game is better off with LFR serving as tourist mode.

Good. I think you should run LFR because you want to see the bosses not because it’s an easy way to gear up.

LFR is content for weak players. It’s good for the game because it gives them something more interesting to do than fighting through mobs to get to horribly grindy and unrewarding world quests. So they contribute to blizzards profit while asking very little.

Lfr is not end game progression it is for people who dont have time/wont do actual raiding, guess what if you want good gear then you have to do harder content for the gear or just wait for warfronts/ hope for titan forges

It’s what I’m saying. I won’t make time for lfr because its not worth it. Rather play OW. Or some other game. If the reward isn’t good why would I bother especially if the gear will be replaced in a couple months?

Like warfronts, LFR doesn’t have much replayability as far as fun or engagement or socialization. You just sorta farm it until the gear is irrelevant for you.

So then do normal raiding
