Better than the old system where you only won something if your item dropped and you beat everyone else's need roll.

I'd rather get that than watch everything taken by the guild that queued together.
Old System ...
Put in time to re-queue until you find a group you can abuse and get good loot
<Vanq user
<Cloth user
Morchok - Queue until you get less than 2 cloth users / 3 casters
Warlord - Leave, keep queueing till you are in a group with 4 Vanq users or less
Yor'Sahj - Leave, keep queueing till you are in a group with 4 Vanq users or less
Hagara - Leave, keep queueing till you are in a group with 4 Vanq users or less
Ultraxion - Leave, keep queueing till you are in a group with 4 Vanq users or less
Warlord - Leave, keep queueing till you are in a group with 4 Vanq users or less
Spine - Leave, keep queueing till you are in a group with 4 casters or less
Spine - Leave, keep queueing till you are in a group with 4 casters or less
Should be able to just queue in and instantly be given full epics. Much better system.
I've been pretty lucky with new LFR, actually better than old so far. In DS LFR there were several weeks in a row of winning nothing. In new LFR there has only been one week where I won absolutely nothing at all but it was back in DS (after patch to bring new loot rules). I run it on two characters and am casual enough that I can use my coins on LFR bosses after my Sha runs.
It still beats the old system by a long shot if you ask me. I don't feel like I'm competing with other people for the loot anymore which is a good thing. No longer do I need to feel bitter that some scrub who wasn't performing well at all wins all've my loot.
same situation with me. ran Terrace and Nightmare today 0 useful drops. 7 bosses and i de'd the useless items, I got the 483 cloak and boots off raidfinder.. which is total garbage for any fire mage due to mastery/haste being godawful stats vs crit/hit.
the problem with the new lfr system.. aside from its stupidly low drop rate.. elder coins being useless (12 used so far and 0 loot) is you cant see what your rolling for. It'd be better to be informed. The old system was much better cause for one you could see what dropped.. and they dont have huge loot tables with 3 useless items added in there. taking Le Shit for example.. the boss has 5 drops for clothies.. 2 are viable.. (the token and the staff) the other 3 are godawful.. guess what you'll win with a coin? ya thats right.
@above, topping the meters doesnt even merit you better loot so your point is moot. ive been top dps on 3/4 of the fights and ive recieved 3 lovely bags of shit for it. the old system was miles better if you had a few friends/guildies you could bring along.. and who doesnt have friends in wow when theres 10,000,000 subscribers?
New system is much more fair, just because you had your buddies to help you back in the day, doesn't mean everyone else did.
It's not hard to find buddies, just ask in trade chat, i bet you could find some who you could take turns with.
Or just form a group and pay everyone 100g or something.. easyeasy
You already get legendaries in LFR lol. Which is fine, old-style legendaries broke the game when you look at it competitively,
