100% agree, it's well known what LFR is and what it is not. Going into it, expecting proper play, execution of mechanics, general knowledge of anything, or even people actually being at the computer is setting yourself up for disappointment. I don't really fault people for AFKing, there is no penalty for it and there is no compelling reason to actually try in LFR, so you may as well do something "productive". I will say that, as a tank, it really sucks having to actually BE attentive in LFR, but that's another issue.
That was my point; after ~30 seconds, someone will say something that starts a chain reaction. Everyone bitches the entire duration (unless they're AFK) which just makes it miserable.And no, the people who make chat toxic are annoying assholes who bitch the entire time. Look, I'm not defending the AFKers or the auto-attackers, but you know by now that they're going to be there. All whining a lot does is make the chat poisonous. Instead, I run the wings that hold loot that I need, do a reasonable job at my role (I heal and DPS) but I don't flask or pre-pot. I don't need any loot from a couple of the wing so... I don't run them. Funny, that...
I don't run LFR on anything anymore, simply because I just can't stomach it. My main doesn't need anything luckily, but I have a few alts that could use stuff... It's just not worth the effort/hassle/drama/headache/repairs/loss of sanity.
I really hope that they remove LFR (now that Flex is on the books) NOT because "hurrdurr I'm a heroic raider" but instead because it's an utter failure of a system, which NOBODY enjoys or looks forward to.
