Keep in mind it’s only for the exact item.
having a 418 crafted staff would not stop an evoker from rolling need on an LFR version of the broodkeeper evoker staff.
I would argue that tier sets are among the more sought after cosmetics and that Blizzard putting the restriction on it is an indication they’re trying to discourage people from making life harder on folks trying to gear up just so they can get a cosmetic.
Next the qq will be normal or higher raiders running LFR to grab a set bonus.

If your employer is forcing you to roll for your paycheck against others to not pay you for the time you spent at work, maybe it’s time to talk to an attorney?

Doesn’t the term “solo-player” mean they play “solo”-only content? They wouldn’t be in LFR.

It is about the most flawed analogy I have seen on the forums thus far and given I have almost 16k post, that is saying something 
You are not paid based upon your need, you are paid based upon the work you doing. That is it nothing else, it’s not like HR is running around giving all the checks to people who have less money then someone else.
If Elon Musk got a part time job at McDonalds because… I dunno, he thought it was fun to work at McDonalds on the side… if he showed up and did his job he’d be as entitled to his paycheck as the kid working there while going to college.

These arguments will never cease until two ultimate goals are achieved. One, 100% of the game is solo-able and they never have to interact with anyone else ever again. Two, they receive the best gear from the easiest of content. It’s the basis of these constant arguments. Just see that other thread going right now about being able to solo everything. That is the end result of the MMO genre after it has been butchered. Nothing else will convince me otherwise.

A lot of these people don’t think rolls exist with PL. They think that when they get loot, no one else lost, they just won.
With GL, they get hyper focused on the visible roll, and then get tilted when they see someone else who “stole” their loot.
Whatever happened to mind your business?

Personal Loot = Game rolls need for you 100% of the time.
Group Loot = Game lets players roll need, greed, or pass.

It seems that they’re just too emotionally invested to see the logic.
Especially since they have to inspect people anyways to see if they have a higher level to know if they “deserve it” more

That’s true, but this is Blizzard we’re talking about, it’s never going to be a perfect system. It’s easy to programmatically compare identical items, its way harder to evaluate different items even if they are wildly different ilevel.
Well that’s GD 99.9% of the time.

This always confused me too.
A lot of “solo” players throw LFR in the mix. Makes no sense.

Lol yea that’s what I was thinking. These people were spending way too much time analyzing you to see if you should hand over the item. I’m surprised they don’t have a program on standby to do a background check on you as well.

Yes, sometimes higher level raiders jump down into LFR chasing items for various reasons. Trinkets and weapons are big ticket items when they have special interactions, then there’s transmog as well. There will likely be a ton of Normal-Mythic raiding hunters in there next week after the Raszageth bow, because it is just that powerful that even the LFR version is better than not having one at all.

I was in LFR last night and while doing trash someone randomly pointed out “the tank has 407 ilvl”. Why are people looking to begin with?

Or if it was PL the boss just rolls behind the scenes and hands it out accordingly, even to the person who doesn’t need it if he wins the roll.
Disclaimer that comparing raid loot to a job is silly.
