That is true. Most see forum as a toxic waste station 
I don’t defend every decision they make, far from it.
But what if all the things you think are good ideas are whats actually driving people away? Your pov atm is "anyone who agrees with me is ‘the playerbase’ ". Any idea I have is great and will increase subs, anything contrary to my belief is bad for the game and will decrease subs.
I mean, you have 244 mounts. You can literally trip over another 200 to add them to your collection but you choose to spend time and energy screeching about one that you can’t have - when its clear that you don’t care that much for mounts anyway…
Again, the class trial, the try before you buy difficulty.
You have already make up you mind before entering the thread. My changes? I just talk about the experimental season not the refusal seasons!
That is not how blizzard has announced it! It is a forth difficulty for those who don’t want to run with guild or bind up their time due to work/school/life!
This thread reminds me of this vid…

It doesn’t matter how low the difficulty is, what matters is how it was presented.
“any difficulty” and LFR being available on Fated difficulty on the given weeks.
You’re arguing with “feelings”, it doesn’t matter what you consider x and y.
LFR Nathria is first week Fated… will be Fated on LFR.
Blizzard only today mentioned the mount being obtainable only on non-LFR difficulties.
That’s the only issue tbh, if they were being clear from the get go, there wouldn’t be so many posts about this… by far.

Well no reasons gonna be 100%.
However its open knowledge to be one of the games largest critics, and is one of the highest factors to cause leaving.
Even anet have statistically admitted end game rewards for content are hugely contenious due to how many are unhappy with it.
The game doesnt attract raiders. Hence why theres such a uprise when harder contents launched. The game fundamentally just has 0 attraction to players interested in anything above open world content.
Tbh im amazed their going to honestly do fated lfr raids.
I wouldnt of personally had fated in that difficulty because i can forsee the rage if its too hard.
Flash backs of nzoth lfr come to me where half the forum was filled with players screeching about it being impossible and a absolute joke.
People that want the mount will just buy tokens and boosts. It’ll just be easier for boosters if it’s only normal required.
It just seems like a cash grab by Blizzard for FOMO people that hate raiding, which is most of the player base.

Eh i disagree.
Given the games trended in having mounts for achievements for completing raids normal and above longer then the tokens existed.
Its pretty normal behaviour for them.
If they wanted to actually cash grab the droppable mounts in raid wouldnt drop in lfr modes, that would generate far more boosts.
Also if im correct blizzard are in DF making boosting far harder to sell.
It is pretty standard practice in this game by now, none of the mount awarding raid achievements have been doable in lfr ever.
Given their entry message of SL was to push on player engagement with raids, id say its pretty much predictable.
As someone who only does PvP content this feels such a drag. I’ve managed to PuG heroic raids before and I know what kind of a cesspool it can be.
Release kitty on LFR for casuals and people not interested in raids. I would say the same if it was locked behind arena rating. Make it games played, not how hardcore.
This change blows.
EDIT: https: //imgur. com/ebQ8H2M if someone hasn’t seen what it looks like. They managed to screw it up. I will withdraw my post as this is horrendous. Can’t post a link.

If people get desperate, they’ll pull plastic. That’s how FOMO works.
The entire season is pretty much “Let’s put stuff people want behind content they don’t want to do, so that they do it” All while getting paid.
Blizz stopping boosting is like SE phoning me up and saying “Stop buying all the store items you massive whale we’re making too much money”
It does look like a cool mount but for me it is going to be a pain to get.
I do not raid nor run dungeons,do not belong to any guild and i basically treat all WoW players like NPC with bad and faulty AI.
I play more than 6 hours a day,i farm materials or transmogs,i level up alts or i just explore and do what i feel like doing at that moment.
I only have one character which i consider my main which is the one i use to do the daily calling,weekly ZM/korthia quest and that’s about it,and the weekly ZM/Korthia quest i do back to back on reset day so i have all week free and with nothing hovering over my head that i have to do.
I might do a daily or two if i am close to getting the paragon box but either way i just ignore dailies all together.
Basically follow old school WoW rules,login with nothing planned and see where the wind takes me.
If guilds organize boosts for the mount and if i can afford it maybe i will sign up for one.
Basically you’re paying to do nothing lol
People who left the game do come back. I am testament to that. However, we come back when we want to. Whether this is years down the road as was my case in a few times or in 6 months.
I have a simple solution for this “problem”. Give LFR players a different tint of green. Problem solved.
They dont force you you just wont have that mount kek
So there is never a normal pug or hc pug in LFG tool o well i think i am blind then becausr you CAN LITTERLY PUG IT tbh. So normal is CASUAL the only difficulty that isnt casual is mythic raiding tbh. The rest is CASUAL.
Hold your horses karens you can pug normal so you dont need to plan a raid tbh. Stop crying.

Your comment is highly mature and extremely valuable. I only one how cry about this are all of you guys how always shout “git gud” !
Your tantrum doesn’t change the fact that blizzard stated that you could complete the raids on any difficulty, and that mean LFR-NORMAL-HEROIC-MYTHIC! To all suddenly change how the mount is obtained in a comment on the forum is very bad communication from blizzard imo.
That is your own definition of this subject. Most of the community doesn’t call that casual. It is the same thing that I would say “to game 50h/week is highly casual”! Please get a reality check!

It said ‘any difficulty’. Which is very specific. It’s ANY difficulty.
In the past it would have said ‘normal difficulty or higher’ (or whatever the exact terms are).
So people assuming that included LFR is nothing but logical.
It’s also extremely insulting towards all the ‘non big 3’ players. They just get ignored and ignored and now spit on too.
