I do not care about gear. I'd do the raids naked if I could. The only aspect in which I "care" about gear is how it's required to get into Heart of Fear and Terrace of Endless Spring. If I met the requirement to enter those raids, we probably wouldn't even be having this conversation. I'd bum a ride out of another guild if I could, but the Normal requirements are likely even stiffer than the LFR one. I'd even dare say that I could probably beat out the DPS of many other people sitting at a 470 average, considering that I was above the halfway point of DPS just on my first LFR with just heroic gear.
I want to do the raid. I haven't watched videos on it, though I have read the dungeon journals many times. I want to see them played out on my computer screen and experience them first-hand, and I want it to be a surprise. If I could do it just once, then I'd be perfectly satisfied.
If my "reliance" on gear to see content is the same as "caring about" gear, then so be it. In that case, yes, I do "care" about gear. Up to the point where I can just shard or delete it once it gets me past the front gate of those raids. If LFR is meant for casuals, and dailies are not mandatory, then they must be expecting a
lot of patience from a player.
