LFR waiting like hell

Waiting 3 hours as heal in LFR.
After an hour the game should fill up with npc gamers, and let it go.
So many people frustrated about it, and it goes to delete the game.

I thought I’d farm some missing transmog the other day in the older LFRs. You really have to have plenty to do in game while you wait. I think was about an hour before the first one popped up.

I remember MOP queue was good and fast in LFR.
No idea why they now take so long.

Yeah old LFRs really are something special; I remember I was in the queue for about 4 hours for Zul to get the tailoring bag recipe, but I ended up giving up and just joining a normal-mode transmog group instead.

Not really sure what should be done about it; I hate the idea of NPCs being used as a replacement for player-allies in an MMO afterall, but there really is practically no reason to go back to the old raids for anything other than curiosity, and nor should there be. I’d rather a few people be inconvenienced than permanently tarnish the game by setting a standard of introducing NPC allies as a replacement for players; soon enough people will be demanding NPCs to help in current content such as M+ and that really doesn’t fly in my book.

Also I hope in SL, cross factions in LFR.
We can horde/alliance players same run in raids.
Will get faster queue on LFR.

Honestly was about time LFR to be faded out. It finaly servers only as ways to see content and nothing els.

I wish the opinion that LFR should dissappear faded out instead. :yawning_face:

For plenty of people this is as far as they care to take raiding, it serves a purpose just fine.

If waiting time was the only issue with LFR this xpac, I’d probably have queued for them on an alt or two regularly. This xpac I have regretted doing it on most goes I’ve had at it.

But there are all sorts of issues. The most annoying being people who tries all they can to make it bad for those who’d like to get them done by actually doing what they’re supposed to. Of course you also have those who really have no clue.

For me it’s time to say “Grats, mission accomplished!” to those who went in to this in order to kill LFR.

Well q are long because if u look at gear ilvl lfr isnt relevant to much,what i mean by that is u can get faster and easier same ilvl gear from mythic dungs and emissary/assaults give even higher loot

For plenty of people LFR is boring and reason why they quit game and only reason why they do it is becouse its path of least resistance no becouse its fun. And since LFR is gettting larger and larger queue times you can clearly see that people never cared about seeing raid content they have done it becouse of rewards.

A bit surprised to hear that there would be people who actively joined LFR to just sabotage it?
I have no interest in LFR so I simply don’t do it…not sure why bother to waste time just to be a censored.

Those people are fickle, maybe they should spend more time doing something they enjoy instead of queing into LFR if they find it boring.

We are nearing the end of the patch plus blizzard have removed nearly all incentive for players to return here unlike Eternal Palace which still had relevant and useful rewards that made it worth doing for many players.

I still clear LFR multiple times weekly, it’s a perfectly fine experience that is only dwindled by knob heads who want to start kicking people for learning and casually enjoying the content in a stress free environment.

in mop you needed items from all raids for your cloak quest, that’s why the queues were super fast.

Because LFR became :poop: after WOD and never recovered.

Yes, this should be something that attacts every player rather than islands. Both should be an option to do. Perhaps a cap on players with lower item lvl that can ruin the experience.

That’s not true, if you don’t like it there are tons of other stuff to do, mythic+ and harder difficulties on raids.

LFR works when it offers something to players that they need when they outgear/outlevel it.

Expansions where LFR has remained popular is usually when it offers some form of currency people need at end game. For example something like Echoes or AP would work if they are a significant gain.

The problem for Blizzard is reaching a balance between players being forced to take part in lower content and it being a good enough incentive to get people to go.

In Legion we tended to do a random heroic every day because the AP gain was big enough it was worth it. Now I don’t actually remember the last time I did a random heroic because there is no reason for me to go.

Which wing you waited for 3 hours? Because if any of the older content ones, dont be suprised, almost noone goes there.

Except for jaina for the mount.

Honestly was about time people like you faded out.

So yeah.

Anyway, it’s the end of the expansion. I don’t think that many people are still running raids, period. It’s the time of the great nothing. I myself have logged in a grand total of 3 times this week. And done almost nothing. When my sub lapses I’m done until the pre-patch hits.

Good no mercy for pve, we don’t get sparred the luxuary or a bone to chew in pvp so no sympathy here.

Also i’d rather die irl than raid with horde players even cross factions or mercenary mode kinda if i wanted to raid with horde i had do the change or move, that’s already enough we’ve got to suffer you agaisnt our will in player versus player! :-1:
