    This is comming for someone who never raided on the highest difficulties ever. On any MMO.
    I don't see why you felt the need to point out your raiding experience to further explain your point that is completely irrelevant to raiding on the highest difficulty. As Shadochi said, going by your logic the only content in a raid is Mythic content because Heroic, Normal, and LFR are all dumbed down versions of the Mythic mechanics.

    Spoiler alert though: the first time somebody experiences a raid makes it new content, regardless of difficulty and how long it's been out for. Most people experience a raid through LFR, so for them, it is new content. Just because you will have cleared the raid a handful of times by the time LFR is fully unlocked doesn't mean that the final wing won't be new content for the majority of the subscribers who are at 110.

    As somebody who arguably felt the need to brag about raiding at the highest difficulty, I would have thought that you'd be more likely to have an open mind about what somebody would consider to be content and how they prefer to raid. You would be surprised by the amount of people who would consider LFR to be their end-game experience as a raider.

    So you dont like content like class mounts and pet battle dungeons and cry no ccontent. the problem is clearly YOU....

    Funny how you mention that as I actually said the exact opposite. And why you ask? To prevent accusations that I only consider Mythic to be content because I am some elitist twat. There are people like that.

    You are correct though that there needs to be two definitions of 'new content'. One from a development perspective, and one from the subjective perspective of individual players.

    And considering Hellfire Ctidadel on LFR was easier than the Deadmines, I am pretty sure I would indeed be surprised by the actual number of people who look at LFR as endgame. And saddened.

    It's the same poster from 2 years ago who said updated spell animations were a waste of resources and would hold back content. I wouldn't give him the time of day when discussing "content", he doesn't know what he wants.

    And you're apparently one of them given your logic because every level of content prior to Mythic is dumbed down.

    I don't have anyone on ignore, I just tend to skip over some posters when I see certain names/sigs/avatars, but most of the time don't.

    Joke's on you. Normal and Heroic come out a week before Mythic.

    This is how it looks:

    - Raid comes out (new stuff)
    - A week later a higher difficulty version of the raid comes up, with more mechanics (an upgrade)
    - Two months later a faceroll version comes out that even your cat can play (a massive donwgrade)

    Wether it makes sense to release the same raid in four different difficulties is another matter entirely.

    That's strange, none of that seems to change the fact that they're all dumbed down versions of Mythic.

    If you do that why don't you just ignore them? Their posts are automatically collapsed.

    Different color of tier sets, so there still is something new in LFR.

    Because most of the time I don't mind reading posts from anyone, its just that sometimes (very rarely) I'm not in a mood to read some of them so I put them on a mental ignore.

    Eh, LFR is content, whether or not people want to admit it. Maybe it's not their content, or they find it useless, it is till content.

    We don't get to make up what constitutes as content, if Blizzard spent development time and it made it to live it's content.
