Instead we almost wiped on trash several times because two of the healers didn't do a damned thing. They did at least decide to participate for the boss fight, yet I still managed to come top on healing. That shouldn't have been possible.
On the next boss, we almost wiped because of people not bunching up for the unseen strikes(?). I was second on healing, less than 1% below first place. I'd checked out the other healers on the way - my gear was 466/470, the others were all 478-500ish.
Finally on Garalon, most of the DPS managed to die to pheranomes. We still managed to kill him just before he enraged, and I was third on healing, despite being oom for most of the fight.
All through the run, people were constantly harassing each other, deliberately giving the wrong tactics, trying to cause wipes, vote-kicking random people, body pulling .. it was a really painful run, and may have been enough to stop me queuing again for a couple of weeks.
LFR can be okay, but it can also be like this. Good groups become increasingly rare over time.
