Some people STILL do not understand the point of LFR.
LFR is for the NON-RAIDERS. It is for people that want to SINGLE QUEUE into a more "epic" experience than scenarios or 5-mans. Its for people that want to see the lore and story of the raids, without dedicating the time needed to form a group. Guess what? Flex STILL requires set up time, voice chat in early cases, and basic understanding of groups. LFR requires none of that.
LFR exists for a reason, and there is no reason to shut out half of your population just because they only want to solo-queue. As far as the gear changes, it affects me 0% so I do not care either way. I won't need LFR gear to lead my raids. I won't require my raiders to have LFR gear to start raiding either. We will go straight from dungeons into raids.
