Yeah. Sure, success in lfr isn't '100%' guaranteed if you're in a suitably terrible group, but on the other hand it's also possible to contribute to coast through lfr doing barely anything and standing in aoe every boss. And unless the raid wipes multiple times nobody ever takes the time to actually take a look at whether you're doing anything for the most part.
Even Flex mode requires vastly more effort than LFR. And LFR is getting its own unique armor set. If they were getting recolored questing/crafted gear I could see the issue, but they get their own armor set, and whether you think a set is ugly or not is subjective. I think the lfr sets in WoD look better than some tier sets we've had for classes.
Once built up, garrisons will provide normal mode quality gear without raiding, and the CM Bronze Medal daily yields a LFR-level item too.

No, I don't agree. Gear is the main progression past the level cap increases. Don't have more gear, can't do more content that gets added. Squeezing off paths of progression is a bad idea in a gear-grind game. And I hope Blizzard will be taught that lesson just as they were taught in Cata, which caused them to intro Raid Finder in the first place to get people back in the game.
Yes and No. LFR shouldn't have Teir gear, nor should Heroic mode. There should be ONE teir set that drops in flexi and Normal and that is it. If not then every level should have its own set.
Aye mate
I see the welfare recipients are upset they don't get to look like the other raiders.
As I have stated in the past, this is a multiplayer game, so if you want to progress then go socialize and join a guild and raid. If you want to play single player and roll face on keyboard there are plenty of other games out there.
I'm pretty sure some of the LFRetard folks have posted in other threads "lol, the color of your gear doesn't matter" when they were getting their way. Now that the roles have flipped the M&S crowd is in an uproar. To you M&S folks, just remember "lol, it's only gear. u mad over pixels brah?" Now who gets to laugh at who?
If they removed LFR tomorrow, I wouldn't shed a tear....except tears of enjoyment.

But you ARE getting more gear, ilvl will be exactly the same as how you are doing LFR now!
The difference is you now will have a seperate set of gear for LFR (which still have the same ilvl as other LFR pieces) and no more special OP trinkets, which will NOT stop you getting on later contents that get added (especially if you mean the next LFR tier).
You are losing set bonus and some OP trinkets, you are not losing gear progression.
Does this question ask specifically about gear that drops from raids? Or just gear that is equal to the quality of gear that drops from raids?
Everyone wants to progress their character's gear for many reasons. Raiding is not the only one. I disagree that non raiders don't "need" gear. Need really means want here. No one "needs" anything.
If said gear was usable only in raids, then I would agree. But it's not, so no.
Literally, no. Non-raiders don't need raid gear.
But with loot being an integral part of improving your character, and some of the best loot being in raids, I can totally see how a non-raider may feel slighted that the best gear they can attain as a non-raider is shit compared to what one could earn just by doing a few raids.
And to that player, I say run a Flex, soon-to-be Normal mode. It's not that bad/hard/scary, and it's 500X more rewarding than queueing up in LFR.

I completely disagree, at max level gear is the only type of character progression you have.
