I agree with this. LFR is trash. It takes no skill and offers no challenge. Sure, people get to see the content, but they could easily see it in spectator mode or on youtube. Instead, there's this big elephant in the room that we don't talk about and that is the negative that the LFR system brings.
It offers nothing while making the content burn out in a month tops. Blizzard wonders why the game is tanking; LFR. Those people that want to see the content but put in no effort will play it for a week, beat it, then quit. Before, if they wanted to see it, they'd actually have to put in a little commitment or time to do so. LFR with normal difficulty, sure that's fine because it would force the players to actually communicate and work together with all the mechanics in place. As it stands now, the worst of the worst can show up, do nothing to contribute, and still succeed all while those that actually do try carry the trash around.
why not just pug? goes faster to clear all 4 flex parts then it goes clearing the 4 lfr parts (and despite the increased difficulty you wipe less in flex).
Well, tbh i was referencing to SoO LFR.
For example, people still wipe on general NAZ, even after the hotfix.
LFR in the past was "meh" but i wasn't really lucky with the loot.

That is very true, got together a flex group of 540+ who knew the fights, went through wing 1 and 2 very quickly, but 3rd and 4th wing had its bumps on the road.
Me too.
Raid is so stupid. Waste 8 minutes and down the boss to 10% hp.
Then, a small mistake and wipe.
Even you got lucky and down the boss. You got no loot. Try again next week.
The snide, snotty and smug digs at LFR are getting extremely old. And there is not even the tiniest minute bit of truth to what you are saying. The vast majority of people that do LFR are making an honest effort and trying their best.
You people who are so deeply invested in crapping all over LFR must really have extremely fragile egos if you feel the need to constantly whine about and dump on a part of the game that you supposedly don't even play and that has absolutely no impact on your preferred play style.
You aren't having the right kind of fun.How can it be meaningless when I am having fun?
It's not exactly playing the game if your watching youtube videos, perhaps we get fun from actually ya know experiencing the content aimed at us ourselves? You have no right to tell people what they should find fun.
If you don't like LFR, then fine, don't do it, but why do you feel you have the right to tell others that do enjoy LFR that they shouldn't?

Oh really? A 4 wing flex Pug group can be done in an hour?
Because ya know sometimes all I have is an hour, or less a day, I can do one wing of LFR in that time. I can assure you I will never get 4 wings of a flexi pug done in that amount of time.
Which is what most people are trying to convey here, it's not about having no time to raid, it's about having limited allotments of time, which do not work well with scheduled guild raiding nor PUG groups.
LFR fixes that for those of us that have these time restraints.
Well I consider the worth of a Heroic player to be worth 10 LFR players.
makes no difference to me though. Everyone gets the illusion of a game to play which feeds into huge heroic raids for the 1% to play in since resources are spent on the creation of raid wings to fill out LFR movies.
