There is no Bad RNG just Bad LTP
we had a deaf player during wrath. he eventually cleared the normal mode content with us.
some very advanced players play with no sound on at all.
yes, it was frustrating to not get yelled back at when he stood in stuff, but no it is not impossible and you should not let your handicap limit you to LFR.

Use your head...
Why the hell would anyone want to waste their time doing it if they get nothing out of it --- do you think people right now do LFR when they've already got themself saved downing all bosses already? No? Yeah, I wonder why...
The benefit of LFR is you don't have to commit yourself to a guild, raiding at set times...

you are being incredibly closed-minded for someone who claimed 2 pages ago that other people weren't using solid facts or opinions.

Your face when the Scoundrel is Gallagher.
That was honestly a good read. Yeah, you're kind of screwed with any guild that doesn't specifically want to tailor to your specific situation. The only thing I think you could consistently do in total silence is tank. (If on two-tank fights the other tank macro'd some default /whisper statements. "Taunt!" "Trade with me!" "Get adds!" etc.) That's one of the reasons I love the mini-map ping when I can't be heard in vent because people are talking or my voice is drowned out.
Soothing Mist:"Healing them for a minor amount every 0.5 sec, until you take any other action."
Jade Serpent Statue: "The statue will also begin casting Soothing Mist on your target. healing for 50% as much as yours. "
[What's half of minor?]
"Statue casts Soothing Mist at a nearby ally for toddler healing."
The unstated premise of the OP is that LFR isn't raiding and therefore isn't worthy of having any reward. Quite apart from the nonsense idea that loot would ever be removed from LFR, the premise doesn't bear any relationship to the reality as defined by Blizzard. Blizzard considers it entry-level raiding, provides what they perceive to be appropriate rewards for success, and most importantly for them, it's been good business for their game. At this point in time Osmeric's observation that removing normal/heroic modes would cause less of a stir has some validity.
So I don't understand the point of the thread to be perfectly honest because none of this is even the least bit likely.
I'll conclude with what I always say in threads like this: LFR is here, it's not going away, and Blizzard isn't about to do anything to cripple its popularity. Get used to that fact and look for other ways to 'improve' the game.
"...money's most powerful ability is to allow bad people to continue doing bad things at the expense of those who don't have it."
again. you are posting just to be arguementative and basing your findings on a narrow segement of the population. there are not mmo-champion articles with interviews of the guild that beat up this other guild on a weekly basis. it just isn't the main goal of the game. The main goal of the game is defeating the particular bad guy of each expansion. or else the staring player on the front of every world of warcraft based fan site would be predominantly the unimportant things you just posted.

Looking for raid devalues real raiders effort, be it the 2-3 weeks normal raider that will just clear normal modes, and never try hard-modes, or the Semi/hardcore 4-5 days a week hard-mode raider. LFR gives to much for what you put into it. Not only do you see the content, witch is a huge thing (MMO's should be about the journey, scenery and exploring to) if you ask me, but you also get really easy gear thats actually very good for no work.
Edit: But maybe I think like this cause inn TBC I didn't raid to much, yet I was still happy with what content I got to see. The journey, not the end. Many people were happy with what you had inn TBC. LFR makes a generation of bad raiders, and forces likely good raiders, and great raiders to do something they dont even want to.

Yah I don't think I can agree with you.
For me, I lfr mostly, due to growing up a bit, having a bit of a life, some commitments, like a job, child, missus...you know, all that shit that happens right outside your apartment door that I'm starting to think you've not realized yet in life....
Yup, I'm a 'casual' player now. Not in spirit, but in time constraints and ability to commit to late night raids.
It's not easy to find 9 others who can match my time frame to play.
And as for the inspired part?
lmfao, hey bub, we did hc 25's from tbc through to firelands. I think it's ok to grow up, have a life, and still play some wow and get some not as awesome gears as you get in normals and hc's.
I thought that when I was doing HC's, and if you don't, it sort of screams snowflake-butthurt-sandwich, with a side of real raiders have timestamps, and timestamps are enough.
The best part? I'd bet my account you have gone to LFR, and had hope and wish that gear would drop for you, and I bet you even cheered if it did, and cursed your luck when it didn't.

Proof that the mmochamp community can be a bitter and lonely place. What a shame.
LFR directly benefits "real" raiders. You know all those heroics you do to cap VP? Imagine how much worse those would be without people in LFR gear.
and sadly once again you are making the assumption that your opinion is the only one that matters.
While WoWProgress or MMO-Champion may be very popular sites, the point of the game is still subjective to the person you speak with. Just because you can link to a site that ranks guilds based on PVE content cleared, does not nullify a second site that ranks guilds based on PvP rank acquired.
There is more to WoW than what you find valid.
What you find to be the purpose of the game does not mean everyone who does what you think is wrong is walking into a wall.

LFR is the only reason they're allowing normal mode raids to be as difficult as they currently are. If you like current normal/heroic raid tuning, get down on your knees and grovel in humble thankfulness that LFR was included.
And pray that enough people actually want to do normal/heroic raids at the current difficulty level to justify their inclusion.

Its not time. I easily play enough to be raiding 2/3 nights a week. Its desire. I don't want to schedule my time (ie Thursday at 10) around a video game. I like to queue up when I have time, run a dungeon or lfr and then bail. Don't want to be at the same boss for hours just because it's boring.
Sounds like you are trying to portray an elitist raider who is very jealous of the casual player. Anyone who has ever raided knows you have to put in triple the effort or more to get the tiny item level upgrades that sets hardcore endgame raiders apart from the casual players. Your signature displays a character with a lower item level than 6 of my alts..(I am the Queen of casual players as I retired from hardcore raiding years ago). You should update your sig or have a real raider do your posting
