No it’s an apt comparison, because these things are said often on this forum as a result of all of this and they counter each other. If one is easier than the other, but the harder one is not deserving of rewards, than neither are deserving of rewards. I didn’t come up with that logic. GD did.
I’ve done Normals and Heroic and prefer doing those with a guild of friends over pugging or LFR. But don’t feel that LFR is that far beneath everything that it doesn’t deserve anything. And the game has had mount drops in LFR, in open world, in solo content. There really isn’t a reason anyone can really give for why something that was listed for any difficulties shouldn’t remain so. It’s not a login gift. The tree was that. And you have to do way more than you had to do for Obsidian Worldbreaker and no one complained about those. As a matter of fact, this achievement was listed for any difficulty and still is for three months and no one raised a fuss about it.
