I think it goes without saying, but LFR continues to, and has since its conception, rewarded poor gameplay and gives incentive for people to both not work together and actually participate in the content. I get the idea of “Don’t like LFR, don’t do it.”, but things like the Reorgination Array and actual loot dropping from it make it something you can’t ignore. Remove the gear, or at least put it back to how it was in Hellfire Citadel where the gear wasn’t worth anything to get from it.
My two cents on something long overdue to be changed viewpoint on. I don’t agree with LFR giving people a chance to raid who otherwise wouldn’t. Its the furthest thing from an actual raiding environment can possibly be.
IMO LFR and Warfront should both have dropped 325.

I’d disagree with that. Sure, you might get a TF item from LFR, but the chances of that are slim anyway. And if you want RA, do normal then, which is probably less time consuming than LFR is (and probably easier).
I agree. The idea of other methods of getting loot makes sense to me, but rewarding players items equal to the current end game content for doing content that isn’t 1/3 of the difficulty or coordination required hardly seems fair to players who do organize and complete higher level content. It really makes it all become “Well, why bother?”.

Eh. When we were breaking into Mythic and stopped running Heroic, I was pretty happy with being able to polish off my stack in LFR. I didn’t need the LFR gear any more than I needed Normal, so the only difference to me was waiting for a whole premade to form versus signing up for a queue and tooling around in the auction house.
IMO it’s a good thing to incentivize more experienced players to mix in with the casuals, because that’s how teaching moments happen. But the content is far too trivialized for that to really happen.

LFR this expansion is good though, because there’s literally no reason to run it on a main (in my opinion). 340 loot isn’t worth the hassle. No banking bad luck protection, azerite can’t titanforge, tons of “first 3 bosses” in group finder for reorigination array. It’s great, literally not feeling any incentive to do LFR.
Which means, only crappy players will do LFR, so let the crappy players play with each other. Have at it, then they deserve the 340 crap for putting up with it.
Warfronts are a joke though, should have been 325 loot like another poster said.
