Happy arbitrary birthday LFR.

Prepare to be spammed with a cavalcade of comments from both sides of the shitheap spectrum.

Actually no. LFR was released in Hour of Twilight patch 4.3.0. That had a release date of November 29th 2011. 2000 days ago from tomorrow would be November 28th, 2011.

How is that a ''fun'' fact?

Hail LFR, saviour of WoW.

Then I guess WoW has been dead for 2000 days?

Game designers: We need a function to allow players of all experiences and availability to have access to our content!

- implements LFR -

Veteran players: gg blizz, ruined the game, catering to casuals
Current "hardcore" players: gg blizz, making game easier, catering to casuals
Casual players: gg blizz, dumbing game down, catering to casuals

Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

more like 500-1000 posters posting the same boring shit over and over on 2 sites thinking blizzard cares about their opinion

hint- they dont give even a single f.... because what speaks to them is 1 number - participation in X content - and lfr has amazing paritcipation better then all other modes together.

so its will be here till the moment raids will be removed from game - aka never.

2,000 days since LFR saved us from tiny low budget raid tiers. I'm extremely thankful that LFR exists so that I don't have to deal with bullshit raid tiers like ToC or phoned in voice acting like Dragon Soul.

Including the 20th in the calculations skews it because the 20th is not over yet and wouldnt be a day. Clicking end day on the calculator you used adds 1 to any total.

Almost, but not quite. It's engagement, and they've spoken about it before. You can adjust participation with rewards, regardless of the quality of the content. This was something that was brought up in the look back at how scenarios went in MoP. I suspect that's part of the reason why they messed around with LFR rewards in early WoD. To see if people liked the rewards or if they liked the content, so they knew if things should change with LFR (not remove, change), or if they should remain the same.

Yes, because ToV is arguably worse than ToC. Never see those "little" raids anymore.

Sort of. You can drive people away from LFR by making the rewards shitty like with WoD, but that didn't push people into raiding. You can't increase the raid rewards to make more people raid, because the activity itself is unrewarding. A good example of this is Heroic raiding, it's pretty faceroll in the grand scheme of things, and the rewards are fantastic, and yet people aren't flocking to it or even to normal. Nothing that Blizzard ever does is going to get people to go from LFR hero to organized raider. Even if they removed LFR tomorrow, or they went back to the WoD philosophy of garbage trinkets and no tier, those players wouldn't suddenly start raiding. They'd just stop playing.

lol yea, companies like blizzard only listen to a very small percentage of complains from the players IF theres a significant number of people complaining about the same thing, and EVEN then blizzard just looks at statistics in game and data of how people play the game and is totally the opposite from what people is complaining about, so they disregard those complains immediately.. blizzard knows and is very experienced on how humans behave and react, therefor the meme "you think you do but you dont" XD

Blizzard knows more about their player base then what players post on forums.
