Gotta go to work don’t kill eachother.
Achiv was ingame on live realms since 3months stating “any difficulty”. People assumed it covers LFR since similar achivs already exist. Including for sanctum and sepulcher. 5days before release blizzard states in a thread that was already 700+ posts long that lfr wont cover it. Achiv ingame still stated any. Until like 1-2 hrs ago when it was hotfixed to state normal.
Main issue people have is with blizzard lack of communication again. Thats basically where all the uproar emerged. Combined with people trying to belittle lfr players njada njada njada.

List four legitimate reasons other than a mount not showing up in LFR.
Now I understand. Shame it took a yellow post to clearly articulate the problem not all this hyperbole I read in here.
Yes, this is a bad decision on Blizzards part and needs to be corrected ASAP. There’s already enough disparity between top players and casuals.
LFR needs to be included.

Myself and others have been posting this picture in every Slime Cat thread. I’m surprised you missed it.

No it’s not. The main issue people have with it is that they want rewards outsized from the effort (or lack thereof most especially as it pertains to LFR) they intend to put in.
Put another way, the communication bit is your issue and is a talking point that some people have attached themselves to, but let’s just be real honest here.
People on the forums always need something to be pissed off about, and the solo only casual dads who only play 28 seconds a week wanted to AFK themselves a mount. That’s what the uproar is over.

…. And they suck that they pulled this approach. This dev team can’t communicate with players and this is just one more example.
I wish they would allow it on any difficulty. I get that normal isn’t that hard. It’s more that some folks only want to join an LFR on their terms - not bound on a raid schedule.
Post favorite mount vote:
“Sir theʻve chosen the slime cat as the most favored mount!”
“Excellent! Put it on hold!”
“But sir, its the favorite…?”
"Yes. That makes it… leverage "

The fact they listen to the actual minority in many different areas, basically people who are only lucky enough to have more time and money than someone else, or anyone who can do high-end content. I can list 1 more group but that’ll just get me wrongfully banned again. And yes this includes listening to fools who had 0 issues with the slime saber being available for LFR players only 1 day prior.
The lore and story is in shambles, you have people who blindly want all races to have access to all classes because Blizzard has such extreme continuity errors within their lore and story that something like this will never ever work anyways. You also have people who seemingly will dismiss this as a nonissue because the story doesn’t matter, but actually, it does, and having massive and ugly continuity errors will always result in a bad game, period.
Numerous promises like finishing every race’s heritage armor, future additional customization options, the dance studio, etc. All things that have either been outright abandoned or have been responded to with “well players can tell us when they want more” which we have done so, for a good 2.5 years nonstop basically.
The last reason I’ll put up here is a mixture of community problems and casuals never getting enough. People who are lucky to have time and money to waste on tokens for boosts and things they don’t deserve are incredibly dismissive of the casual player’s experiences. The past 2 years have been nothing but awful for anyone who enjoys collecting mounts, pets, or transmog sets. All of this was locked behind an ugly grind that had no way around it really and to this day really is not fixed even a little bit.
But according to some crazy minority from the dismissive WoW community, players like this somehow don’t matter because we don’t raid? I mean that is not how it works at all and yet here we are.
One final note I’ll add is that they tarnished WoWs legacy by even making “classic” versions of vanilla, BC, or LK, all of which from what I can tell have been altered enough to have nearly mirrored issues and problems that retail has today, it would be delusional to deny any of that.
Basically, the game is the opposite of casual friendly, the focus on failed esports, bringing classic into the picture, elitism, and dismissiveness from the community have all caused disgusting issues. On top of this, Blizzard themselves caters to the wrong people, and wrong crowds and doesn’t offer anything for someone who has no time, the community sits here and says “get over it or the game isn’t for you” and then wonders why the game is dead at all.

Ive been stalking this forum pretty much since kaivax post and i will disagree with you here. Yes people could mean something different but i will go with what is stated. I will not go with presuming things. And neither should you (i will also ignore any such thing).
Yes its my main issue, that is correct. I’ve however never hidden it even if i voiced in my direct response to blizz that im in support of it being an lfr reward.
Yes people always need something to vent about on the forums. That is correct. But just because that is the case doesnt mean that every vent is for the sake of venting.
I will also ignore the usual “lfr want to afk through” nonsense.

Its going to be a unique mount. Its not one with 5 recolors, it will be the only slime cat mount in the game. So yes, naturally people would like to earn it in a way they actually like playing the game. It was second place in the mount voting contest, everyone from all types of play styles should be able to earn it.

I mean, this is complete conjecture. I raid one night a week (just ONE) and still managed to get AOTC done. I think that Blizzard listens mostly to blizzard and not the players and honestly, that’s probably a good thing.
WoW has never been a story game. Ever. There have been shining moments here and there, but if this is what you think is driving people away…well. /shrug
I think you’re mistaking your personal grievances with actual legitimate grievances.
No one, and I mean no one; says you don’t matter because you don’t raid. You don’t matter because you don’t matter. That applies to everyone. If you want specific rewards, engaging in the content that rewards those specific rewards is how you do it.
Completely negative. With the advent of M+ and the fact that only a few mounts in the game are ever end game exclusive (aotc, m+, gladiator mounts) this game is insanely friendly toward ‘casuals.’
You are able to outgear the normal raid without ever stepping foot inside it. You can completely outgear heroic raid without ever stepping foot inside it. Hell you can even attain mythic raid quality gear without ever stepping foot inside mythic raid.
You can get your tier set without ever going into raid.
I’m sorry, but this victim stuff is getting real old.

Did it get really old when people polluted the forums about having to do Korthia, ZM or Nazjatar for raiding?

I have a solution to this problem. Blizzard should mail the slime cat mount to anyone who voted for it in the original poll, make it unavailable to anyone else.

Presume things or don’t, but don’t presume to tell me what to do, tbh. The entire theme to this is ‘Blizzard screws casuals once again!’
The simple fact of the matter is that is patently false. This game is casual friendly AF (read the above post.)
Ignore what you like, that’s up to you-but it’s absolutely the case. People want rewards based on what they want, not what they want to put into obtaining those rewards.
None of what I said was incorrect, personal, or playing the victim. What I said is basically what the silent majority feels since they don’t even play the game anymore.
And even if WoW has never been a story game it isn’t an excuse to not try or just completely abandon all of it just to cater to people like you. Whether you have minimal time to raid or not isn’t relevant to me, you have it at all, this means you are guaranteed a good experience every expansion while the majority has not been given this treatment in 2 years.
Not everyone gives a 
about gearing up or doing M+ there are other forms of content to do that have been completely neglected just to push this particular garbage out because it’s an “esport”(a failed esport at that).
No, see, that stuff affects them so its a real issue.
Blocking rewards from people makes them feel like a big strong man.

No. Having to do mindless, boring unengaging content to optimize your character via mandatory chores is dumb. Those were good posts.

Raiding a normal raid for a mount sure seems like a mandatory chore.
