The best players can, sure. But most groups will need that gradual power increase from gear to clear their max difficulty. In LFR’s case though, open world and weekly rewards can outweigh the stuff you’re getting from the raid easily.

It is implicit in how the roll system and options in Dragonflight are designed. Implicit meaning “implied, though not plainly expressed”. So, the perfect situation for people like yourself to get as pendantic as possible, disingenuously pretending not to understand it and feigning plausible deniability.

Geared people do not exist to funnel and feed you gear. Why is this such a hard thing to digest? You’re a nobody to them (just as they are to you) and they still only get their single roll same as you do. You don’t care about their mog collection just like they don’t care about your gearing needs (which also doubles as it adds to your mog collection too).
Denying them the roll just means they aren’t even going to be there or they’ll be there on a toon that “needs” the gear too.
This is about giving people who are high i lvl who do not need the item, an opportunity for the item’s look.
I assure you as a healer I do more than 85% of the group to get us through a wing. So no one is “existing to funnel” me anything. Your post is running on the assumption that the only reason any LFR run finishes is because of the benevolence of better players. Sell that someplace else.

I mean, appealing to history doesn’t really work when transmog as a system has only been a thing for maybe half of the game’s life so far.
Sure, way back in the day rolling need could only mean an upgrade, because that was the only use for an item.
Times change.
That’s just being rude. Disagreeing with you does not automatically mean that someone doesn’t understand what you’re saying, or is pretending not to. We just think you’re wrong.

You wouldn’t be denied getting anything, however if you just want the Transmog you could choose the Transmog rolling option and only have to roll against people wanting the appearance. Also I’ve have been to plenty of LFR and found that some high end players top the dps charts while some others do very little, having lower levels funnel and feed them. I personally want a win/win situation or at least close to it, however I know some people would rather beat out a lower geared person for the transmog, vendor gold, and enchanting mats.
I think personally Blizzard should just loosen up xmog options and let people who won the item naturally earn the appearance and keep it even if trading the loot. If I ran LFR, I’m literally only doing it to help a friend (not a good enough reason) or because I happen to want the LFR mogs…in which case I’m going to be selfish and not give it away to some rando even though the item is destined for the vendor the moment I leave the dungeon.
This has been well established. Which means everyone must also do so. My issue is the fact Blizzard can’t work around people having no principles.

Unless they make the Tmog a separate roll.
Someone rolls need and wins the item, while at the same time the Tmog roll goes out and the winner gets the Tmog unlock but no item.
Oh I have principles.
If I hit need on it they will eventually fix the system to where I can’t. You see where I’m going with this?
Your “principles” would make LFR dead content, because nobody would touch it if they didn’t stand to gain anything out of it - and they would gain nothing out of it by ever using the Transmog roll option, because in a constant crowd of random people there will always be somebody that “needs” it. What holier-than-thou nonsense.
Nah, most people are just quitting.
We used to know this. We don’t anymore. This problem is not exclusive to wow.

If people are quitting because they can’t win loot in LFR and can’t figure out how to get better loot from following a tree once a week, there was never much hope for them.
Nah, they quit because this game has nearly no community left and players treat each other like disposable npcs.

If they’re quitting over not getting loot in LFR, where the current system is actually more beneficial than the old one is,bi hope they find an easier to comprehend system elsewhere.

They always did. It’s just the nostalgia lens telling you otherwise. I’ve been here the whole time.
