10m easier then 25m, drops lower ilvl loot.
Nerf normal modes (Like Dragonsoul)
Gradually increasing debuff that nerfs the raid over time (like Dragonsoul)
An "Easy" difficulty that is harder then LFR, but easier then Normal.
I don't know about other heroic guilds, but we wouldn't, and don't, take people fresh out of LFR. It does nothing for us. We take players that are around the same level of experience. Each expansion, you get your progress reset, and a new chance (if you're actually as good as you think you are) to join a guild at the start.
Adding LFR isn't giving heroic guilds any additional players to recruit from, not by a long shot.
But gear =! skill !!! The mantra of the casual! Everyone was on equal ground as far as gear, and they always are, at the start of the expansion. There's nothing more they can do to help people out in getting started.
37 + (3*7) + (3*7)W/L/T/Death count: Wolf: 0/1/0/1 | Mafia: 1/6/0/7 | TPR: 0/4/1/5SK: 0/1/0/1 | VT: 2/5/2/7 | Cult: 1/0/0/1
Other than the last two isn't that how it worked in the "golden age" aka TBC? Poach from other guilds or halt progression and go back to older content.
Still the attitude of so many here just stinks. "If you can't clear it maybe raiding isn't for you". Yeah that's a good way to piss players off.
Could be nice if LFR was a little more challenging, for now it's just boring.
If people can't even do normal raiding... why should I care about them? Their level of skill is way lower than mine so I never have to worry about them... not to mention bad players make PvP more fun. Everyone is ripping on bad players, but would WoW really be fun if everyone was skilled? Not really. It's not my fault people don't know their classes and use only their pve rotation rather than every ability that their class possesses.
Most likely the wisest Enhancement Shaman.
That is such a ridiculous statement. What are you spewing out onto this forum?
There is something wrong with new raiders nowadays. They are not being taught to try their hardest and perform to their maximum capabilities. Because Blizzard made Cata and WotLK easy mode for raiders like you, now a lot of the raiders are just terrible players who can barely go 2/12 in ToT, let alone clear any heroic modes. When I joined this game back in TBC, I always thought to myself how if I kept pushing myself to my limits on my character I can go raid BT and other high end raids. In TBC, all I ended up clearing was Karazhan. In WotLK, I cleared a lot of the content, including 4/5 H ToGC on 25m, and 11/12 H ICC 25m. And wanna know why? Because back when I joined, there wasn't any of this LF-whatever BS that plagues the community. If you wanted to get anywhere, you had to work for it. But now Blizzard shot themselves in the foot by targeting the casual demographic, because it causes new players to stay bad, and encourages people not to learn from their mistakes if they're gonna get their shiny pixels at the end of the day no matter how terrible they are.
And that's the attitude of somebody who isn't confident in their own skill. I prefer to be evenly matched with my opponents because I like competitiveness. Farmville and other casual games are all over the Internet. Seriously, nobody's there to outskill you, so you can feel like youre the best player there is.
Ion has speculated that there may be an audience for LFR difficulty for organized groups. Maybe Blizzard is thinking of a 3 tier difficulty model for 5.4 raid. Perhaps Blizzard will introduce easy mode afterall. Having more difficulty level and letting player choose which "league" they want to play in would be healthy for the game imo.

they're moving they're table over they're
there moving there table over there
T14 provided a significant challenge for a significant portion of the playerbase. You and I finding it easy is completely irrelevant.
And locking such a large portion of players out of content is generally a bad thing to do. "Get better or GTFO" hasn't proven to produce any results.
But the content is there with LFR. Just scaled-down numbers and gear drops, but the content is still there to see. And if players really want to see Normal Mode content, then maybe they should step up their own game instead of complaining that they can't kill things because their skill level is low.
FFB is not intended in anyway and no one could rationally justify it ever. And if you read the spec's passive you can see that Arcane charges are an important part of the playstyle and they only get generated by AB. Anyone with some kind of brain matter would figure out what spells he's supposed to use without ever alt-tabbing out of the game. The only thing you would need to check an outside source for is for optimisation, which you don't even really need unless pushing for world firsts. Properly executing raid mechanics is much more important than raw throughput.
Mage bombs are a talented spell that cause damage with low maintenance. Again, you don't need an EJ post to tell you that you are supposed to use it.
Both ideas are essentially the same.
it's called common sense.
They never were. In old wow this meant they never raided. In new wow, they get to do LFR, previously on new wow they got to do normal modes (in ICC and DS.)There is something wrong with new raiders nowadays. They are not being taught to try their hardest and perform to their maximum capabilities.
Wotlk was accessible, cata was not (until they lost millions of subs and nerfed FL and then released the crowd pleasing DS.Because Blizzard made Cata and WotLK easy mode for raiders like you, now a lot of the raiders are just terrible players who can barely go 2/12 in ToT, let alone clear any heroic modes.
You might have done that, next to no one else did. The argument here is that people who want a mode of content that they can do in a group without becoming either a sociopath guild hopper or an aspergers sufferer level theory crafter should be in place.When I joined this game back in TBC, I always thought to myself how if I kept pushing myself to my limits on my character I can go raid BT and other high end raids.
