They tried that nonsense some years back by linking battlegrounds to the legendary questline!
As I recall the people who actually did battlegrounds hated all the pve’ers coming in as much as the pve players hated being forced to do a pvp battleground.
TLDR it is not required to get the AR. Complaining just to complain.
There is a quest to do in the raid but no required to do the raid. Probably will have a sweet cutscene though and I can’t wait for raid night tonight with the boys!
They are too easy?
They are too difficult?
Some fights are way too easy while others are way too difficult?
Personally I found every single Uldir fight to be pretty much faceroll easy, outside of G’Huun, and that really was only because of the timings with the orb running mechanics.
The raid completion requirement will be doable via LFR, same as every other quest that has required raid involvement in the past. You can either do it now via normal mode raiding, or you can wait a few weeks and do it via LFR.
Do it in LFR, if you don’t want to do LFR that is your choice and you are choosing not to finish the war campaign. Now if you had to do it in normal or higher I would agree with you but anyone can do LFR. I despise raiding and I know people that hate raiding more than I do and they do LFR regularly.
