And yes, it can be said that the quality of Flex players is declining from week to week, but it's also a matter of good or bad luck - sometimes, I get to play with really awesome groups, sometimes they're a real tragedy. 8 out of 10 groups are good enough to get the job done, though. Teamspeak helps a lot, imo.
Hint: Try to get some experience via LFR and study the encounters on the Internet; most groups tend to choose experience over item level.
Anyway, Flex is the best thing ever as it allows raiding without fixed schedules and without having to deal with all those toxic fags on LFR. If someone doesn't behave like a decent human being -> bye, bye.
