- 14th July - Raid Finder 1st wing
- 28th July - Raid Finder 2nd wing
- 11th August - Raid Finder 3rd wing
- 25th August - Raid Finder 4th wing
Why though?
Just trying to wrap my head around why it’s 2 weeks apart, instead of 1 week apart per wing.

They’re trying to convince people who do LFR to quit and play some other game that doesn’t treat them like idiots.

It shouldn’t be gated at all imo, but two months is ridiculous and always has been

Yeah that one wouldn’t help here.

Need this sword, drops from Kel’thuzad, which means, 3 more weeks until that wing. 
And want LFR transmog set, which is also, 3+ weeks.

Their logic is that having LFR open in its entirety causes world first players to feel compelled to farm it alongside the higher difficulties in order to fully gear out. Which is a BS excuse since those players are already doing way more than any other set of players is anyway, and this thereby screws the most players in favor of the tiniest sliver of players.
I mean, it certainly can’t be that those doing higher difficulties are actually offended at others having something at the same time they are, right? Right? At least one would hope not given it gives the worst gear, and in this case even denies players a shot at the legendary bow from Sylvanas, which is absolutely ironic given that the bow drops at iLV 233 even if it drops in mythic!
TL;DR: There’s no excuse for screwing over the majority of players for two full months like this, yet they chose to. Consider it yet another example of a system designed to keep the elite more powerful than everyone else, just like in real life.

To keep you paying, just stop doing it and they’ll have to listen.
Because when the final lfr becomes available thats the point in the timeline it happens - renown levels that unlock and give story all combine for the overall story to complete.
They should gate the other difficulties then
It’s only fair

When I joined the first wing we couldn’t even get past the first boss. Castle was easy the first week.
Shadowlands is behind man. Simple as that.
This is all intentional. They knew Shadowlands would be lacking in content. That’s why they’re so keen on stretching out every bit of “content” in this game.
To be fair, they’ve been doing this since vanilla. But we’re all older now. Blizzard can’t do anything without us seeing right through it.

Their decisions are kinda beyond comprehension. Similar to not having a queueable normal mode, or m+ mode, or any relevant/special loot, for tazavesh. Isn’t a reason to set foot inside, and it would have been different had they released it day 1.

Just wait until you can solo it in

Only if you’re a mythic raider
Whats odd with this schedule is lfr gets no goodies.
no sylvanas bow (real or jsut to mog it)
no domination gems to put in sockets
I think my hunter got a conduit. wasn’t screaming go back and insert it. 213 trinket was a nice surprise but I don’t see me rushing to here after weekly reset,
That only happened for me when someone took the wrong anima power. After getting rid of that it wasn’t too difficult
Pretty sure you do, I got one on 1st boss in LFR. They’re not on loot table, but they drop.
To keep people subbed as long as possible.
It’s time gating for the lack of content. With PvP virtually dead this season and I am not sure of the health on mythics but they have to have something for you to stay subbed and buy from the store…
