You asked why people disliked lfr I simply explained why to you.

Hiding in plain sight :wink:

Thing on that is this:

This isn’t a guild run event. We don’t have some guy saying “Okay, you did the highest dps so you get gear.”

I’m not the best dps out there on this character (not for trying but apparently melee dps isn’t my forte). But here’s the thing: I do the mechanics that there are in LFR, I do my best not to die, I also do the best I can dps wise.

So yes, I still deserve a chance at loot.

Now if we’re talking about the schmucks that die 5 seconds into a fight and can’t be bothered to take a rez when it’s offered? That’s a lot different.

But on that same note: who are we to tell people whether they can or cannot have loot? (Again, I don’t advocate people blatantly going AFK during LFR.)

And what about the folks who never would have had the opportunity before LFR? And would never have had a hope of ever seeing it due to how guilds and community cliques worked?

I wish LFR’s change was that it was removed but it’s 2018 and this isn’t going to happen so I just avoid it the gear I get from M+ is better anyway.

295

uh…no…I didnt.
Quote me please.
Id have to be stoned to CARE enough to ask.

But are raids really supposed to teach players? Is that a thing people really expect? I don’t think raids are designed to teach anything honestly no matter the difficulty.

Unpopular Opinion: I think the people against LFR are jealous of the loot people can get from LFR.

They can and do coexist in the game.

The game doesn’t have to pander to a tiny minority of players with the most restrictive and personal preference list of “what I want for me” and " what other people shouldn’t be permitted to do".

I wasn’t even referring to merit in-group; but generally… doing raid content is harder than other game content. Doing “real” raids is harder and takes more commitment than LFR and so the disparity in rewards is appropriate.

Every guild/group I ever raided with (except one) used SK to distribute loot and because your place on the list was determined in advance, there was no arguing.

I come from a guild/group philosophy that encourages making sure every member is adequately geared because that only makes the group stronger.

I think all the remove LFR posts are a ploy by raiders as they can see dollar signs in selling carries in normal+ raids. Given all the adds I see for M+ carries I’m guessing someone is making some cash out of it.

Except they can’t… you can’t have meaningful progression and super wacky proc loot given away for free… yes mythic exists…but it stands alone.

Classic and bfa can coexist but you cant have both in the same game.

302

Your bucket list of things that should be required and things that should not happen are your own and unrelated to anything universal.

303

I don’t think so. I think it’s more of jealously guarding the gates to drive out casuals so they can turn this game into a much smaller game of purely hardcore players that they imagine exist in sufficient numbers to keep this game afloat.

Unpopular opinion would LFR being on par as normal raiding.

305

Given that LFR was created solely to keep raid development alive, that seems foolish, no?

You act like raiding is the only reason everyone plays the game. Well, you are wrong. Does everyone need to learn how to raid: No! Do they need to be encouraged to do “Normal” raiding: No! Just play the game how you feel is fun for you and let them play the game for how they feel is fun for them.

this isn’t your game and this attitude has snapped wow at its knee caps and is in its unhealthiest state ever

I didn’t care about lfr until we see the state the game is in now

Just remember this used to be my game back in the day and it changed to suit you and not to suit me or everyone else who has quit

because normal raids are for teaching raiding. LFR is about giving people the ability to see in-game cinematics in a semi-meaningful way with some OK rewards associated with it.

They can watch YouTube then
