Then who would carry the bg/raid? You'd just be left with 25 people healing in prot gear
In my opinion you can do whatever you with your time.
To me, your whole "I can play the game as I want, even if it means we wipe alot" seems like a big waste of time.
Instead you could spend an hour at most to actually get to know what the hell you are doing, and be done with that lfr faster next time you go.
The less time you use on one thing, the more time you have to do other stuff.
I don't care how you play, I care how you treat people. If you're a dbag, you need to be removed. If you are helpful or fun, you are free to stay. There is enough negativity in the real world, I don't need it MAGNIFIED in a video game which I play casually to escape the real world for a few hours a day.
/ignore has been in the game for a long time. Just use it and shut up.
So I open General Discussions and see:
Auto-remove low dps from LFR Today, 03:17 PM
Remove Elitists From Raids and Battlegrounds Today, 03:16 PM
Hehehe
That is him trying to help the player be better and know how to gem. HELPING, not saying "I KNOW HOW TO GEM NEENER NEENER" to the poor fella while he is laying in mud scrambling with the wrong gems in his gear. This is why players don't help people, they try and get it thrown into their face. I personally only had it happen once, but have received mostly nice conversations all around.
plus auto-kick players who scream for others to be kicked and exclude the whole of Drak'Thul (EU) from LFR.... problem fixed.
Get rid of the casuals imo

The only thing I don't like about LFR existing is that early in the tier you might feel compelled to run it on your main to get tierbonuses/trinkets, this issue was kinda alleviated with the introduction of flex.
Other than that I think LFR is an ok tool for people who can't commit to schedules or for gearing up alts. And this is a sentiment shared by most of the heroic raiders.
Not the good players are those who flame.
And beside that, I bet you don't want good players leaving your raid. You just don't want it. You won't be able to kill a single lfr boss without them.

If someone's seriously underperforming or doing something very wrong in an LFR group that I'm in and it's greatly slowing us down or causing us to wipe I always speak up and ask them to try and step things up or try to explain how to improve. I start off asking politely like "Hey buddy, you do realise you're doing X wrong and you should be doing Y when the boss does Z" but if I'm then met with the alarmingly common response of "I can play however I want, I pay my 9 quid a month" or some variation of that, that's when I start asking the rest of the group to join me in having them kicked out. Does this make me an "elitist jerk"? Not in my opinion, no. You have to take into consideration when you join an LFR group that you will be playing with 24 other people who expect everyone to perform to a certain standard. Why should 24 people have to work extra hard to make up for someone who, frankly, can't be arsed putting in a bit of effort?
Asking people to play to a certain level (I'm hardly asking for high numbers, I just like to see people at least pressing buttons and not standing in bad stuff) isn't elitist, it's asking them to fulfill their obligation to the rest of the group that they signed up for, the obligation to at least fucking try.
