There have been quite a few posts lately implying that LFR's existence means that hard modes have been trivialized, since all the content can be seen via LFR, thus the entire raiding concept of 'exceptionalism' is ruined.
I ask: Why weren't you complaining about normal modes when they were introduced? This game has handed out similar gear with higher stats for heroics for years now, and only a handful of HM encounters have an extra boss (Sinestra / Algalon), so... why weren't these complaints being fielded then?
