Why do players roll on items they don't need?

Because blizzard said we can. Why are you wasting time worried about other players in LFR?

So the only reasonable answer is the one that agrees with you? Imagine that.

Because ilvl is temporary,
Mog is forever.

Transmog. My time spent in LFR is every bit as valuable as yours. You aren’t entitled to gear because you think or feel like you deserve it more. Really as simple as all that.

Or you just fill a bank bag with delve veteran gear and run it through the catalyst when the next season starts. It’s practically free if you’re patient.

I love gambling, why would I not roll?

If someone was in the raid then they have the right to roll on it, their reason for it is non of your business

Who’s actually trying to gear up in LFR these days? You do LFR to see the story with gear as an unexpected Bonus.

Just do T8 Bountiful Delves. The drops are better than LFR and you get 1 Hero Track piece a week from a Map and a choice of Hero Track gear in the Vault.

Precisely what I’ve done since S2 started. My bank is filled with a ton of veteran and champ track gear that I’m just waiting to catalyze for free next season. I don’t touch LFR at all because I don’t want to deal with that headache, plus I don’t want to take gear away from players who actually need it. As someone who does heroic raiding, it can be easy to think “whatever, it’s just LFR gear, who cares”, but there’s a huge amount of the playerbase who only does LFR and nothing higher. That gear probably means a lot more to them than it does to me.

But, not everyone is as patient, and some folks want the xmog now rather than waiting until next season to catalyze it for free, which is why I still think just giving everyone all the lower-tier appearances automatically is the best solution all around. It’s certainly less clunky, that’s for sure.

could be a way to get into delves also

Last week, I lost 2 daggers from Rick Reverb because some Monk didn’t roll and I took the next raid queue. I was the only Rogue (alt Rogue, not this one :eyes:) in the raid and Monks can’t even use daggers. I never got the daggers in the mail and the GM I went back and forth with for 3 days didn’t do a DARN thing except come up with flimsy excuses, which I proved wrong with a screenshot. In the end, the GM replied with an obvious copy pasta, which ignored everything I said and told me to post in the bug report forum. :+1:

People roll on things to troll. It’s easier to just go to Siren Isle or Undermine if you need shards. Because aint it so sweet when you screw someone out of loot and ruin their day? Doesn’t that just make you feel so good inside?

Nah. The gear acquisition is too slow. There are so many ways to get Vet gear which is plenty for any spec to jump right into T8 Delves,

Again, I don’t like delves.

Just imagine if the over geared people never came to LFR
 then all the LFR career players would complain that they couldn’t get past certain bosses
 If someone participates in the kill they are entitled to everything you are.

And complain that someone else won the item they wanted, and oh look here we are with the same complaint!

Depending on the trinket, they can be upgrades at lower ilvls.
Same with rings and the secondary stat distribution.

Antom, here’s the thing : If I was decked out in Mythic gear, I would run LFR solely for the purpose of helping lowbies and undergeared people. Furthermore, I have traded at least one piece of LFR armor to another player within the last two weeks, yet I have been screwed out of getting armor that I needed at least 5 or more times within the last week.

Here’s the problem: I am nicer than everyone else. And it seems unfair.

Are you all saying I should just roll on everything regardless of whether I need it? I mean, why should I be nice other people if they aren’t going to return the favor?

As much as i empathize with the OP and wish things weren’t the way they are
 they just are, and there isn’t anything we can do about it. Blizzard has created the system to be this way, and the good intentions of those of us that want things to be different just isn’t enough.

We have no choice but to just need on everything we’re entitled to need on, otherwise we’re just screwing ourselves over :woman_shrugging:

So first off, you’re not asking the low level people you gave gear to then give you gear back. That’d be called a trade.

Second off, nobody is telling you how to roll. You accept that cuts both ways. You decide what you need, but don’t expect other players are specifically here to donate their time and loot lockout to funneling you what you want.
