And maybe there are players who just can’t be part of a dedicated raid team due to their work hours or their schedule.

How did everyone get it the first time if it’s impossible ?

And people who want to ROB other players of content shouldn’t be a thing either. Yet here you are.

Saw it on youtube already.
Exactly, here I am. Down with LFR.
I hate how they lock the good stuff weeks ahead. My monk and priest still havent gotten there legendaries because the raid release is so staggered… They should have released all the lfr wings by now. 3 weeks with only one wing was annoying.
No hate, my dude. If all you can do is LFR, that’s great. But you don’t get access to the perks that, say, a guild can offer (completing actual raid difficulties and having access to the story elements).
Anyone that thinks LFR is legitimate raiding content is delusional. You literally don’t see half the mechanics that are in Heroic and you can clear it without saying a word to people. I’m sorry if that upsets the LFR apologists, but it’s the ultimate truth of this game: If you can not (or will not) dedicate the effort to do harder content, then you should not expect the same rewards as those that do.

GOOD. If you can’t put in the time to clear normal you deserve to be gated. Normal raids are basically LFR anyway.

Correct.
But main storyline gating like that isn’t a good idea.
If people want to see the Nathria storyline, they can run the raid or watch YouTube. But main storyline for the expansion should not be dependent on completion of a raid.
I can’t recall any other main storyline that was locked behind running a raid with the inability to move forward without it.

The irony here is that the entire reason LFR was added is so casual players could complete the story and not be gated behind raiding.
Seeing as how I’m sure everything will be spoiled by February, looks like the game has awkwardly stumbled back to that same issue…

We’re not talking about rewards here. We’re talking about main expansion storyline gated behind finishing a raid.
Raid storyline has always be dependent on running the raid. Especially Mythic having the true ending in it. And that’s fine. That’s the raid story.
But gating main expansion storyline behind a raid is excessive. Not being able to move forward by questing through the main story because of a raid? Mmmm… no. That was a ridiculous requirement for them to put into WoW.

I love how the main argument always seems to be that because people don’t want to do the higher difficulties they should just be stuck so that the haves can feel good about themselves while the havenots just unsub.
This is precisely why blizz removed War/titanforging too, not because it was a balance issue, but because sweaty gamers got buttmad that other people were still having fun and not living their whole lives in WoW grinding out gold for consumables and raiding 24/7.
People seeing the end of the story in-game hurts literally no one, there’s no LFR AOTC or anything like that, hell chances are you won’t get any gear from it either, I sure as hell have been having bad luck with it (Two pieces I have were traded to me, the other from the vault while 2 other weekly vaults have been for pieces I have already).
It’s quite literally an ego problem with the SMALLER playerbase this game has and nothing else.
Doesn’t matter to me, I’ll have probably had it spoiled by bellular or someone any day now, and my sub runs out next wednesday, but my issue is that this toxic elitist nonsense pervades the game so much now that nobody is allowed to have fun both by blizzard’s own dev standards and the playerbase trying to gatekeep.

And if you make your own, people ditch while spamming racial slurs after a few minutes because they’re not getting carried.
LFG is beautiful.

The horror? omg have to wait a few weeks because I don’t want to put any effort at all in … ohnoooooooo
Do you understand the difference between a raid and questing through a main storyline? Because there is a difference. And one should not be locked to the other.
Raid story is raid story. That’s fine. That’s good. Mythic has it’s own canon ending which is also good.
Main expansion quest storyline is NOT raiding. Nor should it be.

LFR was a raid, or something vaguely resembling one, back in like MoP.
It hasn’t been an actual raid in a long time.

Can’t pug a normal unless you’re a FOTM class/spec with an ilvl above that which is needed for Nathria Normal.
