I personally cannot stand Raiding. It’s either play correctly has a team or fail.
Unlike PvP, there is little to no room for unique experiences, and because of the 4 difficulties is why we have to squish numbers every expansion since their introduction.
2 Difficulties is fine, and even elite player base think they are too many difficulties
Good this is an MMO. Not an esports game like league or call of duty.
Competitive activities have a right to be in the game but the monetization of them has no place.
I agree, get rid of LFR and normal
I agree.
The essence of an RPG is supposed to let you work your way to god level powers, and is not compatible with a competitive mind.
It does actually. If you watched RtWF on N’zoth you can see how that fight looked like a kid finishing up their project in the middle of class right before presentation. And why normal/heroic feels like a aimless dance.
Essentially blizzard couldn’t come up with a decent version of the fight for mythic and as a result all versions of the fight suffered.
I prefer OP’s vision.
Knock out the easiest difficulty and the hardest one.
A very small percent even makes it to that level, and cannot for the love of me cannot fathom how that content is enjoyable.
WoW is a game built to be easier. Catering a game to the top percent is doom to fail. Just ask Wildstar
Well they could also save forum space by getting rid of those who want LFR gone.
Keep Mythic. Some players need the challenge…don’t take it away from them because you’re possibly jealous of their capabilities.
lol…
I guess you think that even if your assertion is true and if Method disbands, all those players who spent all that time competing in the game will suddenly give up?
This is a good idea.
Mythic is done by a minimal portion of the playerbase and seems to only be there to cash out on the mythic race far as I can tell. I sure as hell don’t want to put in that much work just for 20 ilvls.
I can barely think of any reason to have current LFR exist. I only touch it now to mildly gear myself up for SL without putting in effort since I really don’t care for BfA. But then again if it didn’t exist then I would instead go and use the group finder for more M+ or normal raiding.
LFR and Mythic really don’t need to exist anymore.
I haven’t stepped into a current LFR but I heard of some of the horror stories.
Well it IS true. No other team has given BACK has much has method has, and A lot of players are rightfully leaving Method. Either they reform to another e-sport team or they give up on competitive wow.
My god it’s awful.
I did LFR N’Zoth to get the quest out of my logs since I haven’t raided in BfA at all. Took 5 pulls for Carapace and nearly 10 for N’Zoth himself. I’m pretty sure it took me over 3 hours in total to finally beat the LFR wing because no one was using their damn necklace or cloak and barely anyone was doing the mechanics.
This was also after over an hour queue, mind you.
I completed a quest and got 2 augment runes out of over 3 hours of mindless “raiding.”
I can’t stand classic in the slightest and think LFR is an insult to raid design. Having moderately challenging content isn’t “exclusivity”. Besides classic is far easier than you think lmao, it does a pretty poor job at showing who’s good and who’s bad at max level because the game is so damn easy.
Preach brother.
N’zoth is an easy boss, but apparently people are so tone deaf that they REFUSE to listen to me or anyone else explain the fight. I have once experience a group firsthand maxed out on determination because they refused to either use their heart or get into the portal.
I 2nd and 3rd this.
I’ve done many LFR in previous expacs and they have never been this bad.
it was at least 7 for N’roth and by then I was just done. I still have the quest to.
I may try again, soon…maybe.
And here’s the irony of the situation for people doing LFR. Wasting more time than they would have to do, had they just found a normal guild that fits raid hours even with a changing weekly schedule.
I know I’m going to sound elitist for this but, this is what happens when you make it so that everyone can see the content.
Ease of access breeds mediocrity. And people will get lazy.
LFR is easy mode. And with people who seriously raid, see LFR as nothing but an insult to raiding. It’s not even raiding. May as well just have people teleport into a empty room with a chest in the center of the room. “Here ya go, see ya next week.”
Both Argus and Archimonde were LFR killers.
I have no idea how we got from “stop catering to these elites!” to “and also stop catering to the casuals!”
When was the last time you think anyone in Method ever stepped foot in LFR?
LFR does nothing but hurt the game. It hurts the people that use LFR and it hurts the people that don’t. Both of the above are absolutely true.
the milkshake pitlords are still around, and others
