A pity. I could live without the cat. Probably they think ppl that normslly dont raid will waste hours pugging 3 raids just to have the cat?
Enjoy your raiding and have fun.
If this is the basis for the future exp for the ppl not enjoyin this content will ba hard.

And making something that should be achieved, into something that be gotten with relative ease, is good for the game?
I don’t have issues getting in raids… if the cat is in lfr or normal is the same for me.
It’s just a random number, but the more applicants the more you are rejected in general.
That logic is on par with giving a kid icecream for breakfast lunch and supper. The playerbase don’t know what the hell they want and they don’t know what makes a good game.
Except in this case you’re equating “the playerbase” with “people that agree with my take”. The rest aren’t “the playerbase” somehow.
Well, that’s perfectly fine, but I fail to see why everything needs to be dumbed down beyond belief in order for the game to be considered good, if anything, WoW gets worse the more it tries to cater to everyone.
So you had a problem when it was thought that completing LFR was enough for getting the mount?
Obviously doesn’t people feel that way! Go and look in the 1000+ comment thread at NA forum. Look at the numbers of subscribers in SL. This game has failed hard. Just face the fact!
They need to communicate with their players. Just like at the 500 mount achievement mount, they didn’t understand that people would be upset about a freaking standard Yeti. Do you not comprehend the fact that blizzard is out of touch with their playerbase yet?

I never once registered that thought because I didn’t believe a mode such as LFR should reward anything more than a bit of gear that’s on par with world quests.
My friend, these boards are mostly so far out of touch with the actual playerbase that citing them as proof is never within good reason.
Still they are the playerbase!
A percentage of a fraction.
Yet it is the only data we have available to draw a conclusion. So until blizzard show us prof that our data is invalid. Is it the best way for us to make up our minds!
You don’t believe the loud minority of voices.
This 3 person dialog is the only small minority!
You don’t have to “believe” anything, you had to read that Blizzard achievements said: “any difficulty”.
Only in the post today they specify that it’s Normal.

And LFR is not a difficulty, more a little palette taster, hence it’s delivered in ‘wings’.
LFR is basically a try before you buy.
One quarter of the posts in that thread have come from 2 people.
Drawing conclusions on such flawed data is laughable.
People generally don’t complain when they are satisfied. Should we conclude that because the other million odd people aren’t complaining they are happy and that the 50 people posting in that thread are a tiny, tiny vocal minority?
But the games health (and sub numbers) doesn’t lie and those correlate with much complaints from forum and Reddit and twitter.
You can defend every decision that blizzard are doing but that doesn’t change the fact that people are tiers of their BS!

Blizzard themselves consider LFR one of the available difficulties though:
While a raid is Fated, it will only be available in Fated difficulty, but the other two raids will still be available that week in their non-Fated difficulty.
LFR can be Fated, as such it has a Fated difficulty.
