Exactly my point - far quicker and easier to do the first 4 bosses on NM than waiting for M0 or LFR queues to pop. Gonna do it again tonight for a few more dinars (gotta target those trinkets got 1 of them already)

We only have three seasons because the Worldsoul Saga has us having faster expansions. So no S4. Although the popularity of S4 is hit and miss.
Some like it, others don’t. But Blizz will have the stats on participation.
We have had shorter expansions content wise ever since classic launched, for the WSS they just stopped pretending and started giving us shorter expansions time wise as well.
The part I referred to as a joke is “Blizzard listened and gave us expansions instead of filler seasons”. Idk in what world faster expansions or a filler season is better than a proper 3 content patch expansion. Also Classic launched in the middle of BfA, for SL they raised the price of expansions and was the first expansion to give us the filler seasons, then it was DF that followed the same model and now they are selling us 3 season expansion. I mean….
Ah I see 
Might be just me but i had fun doing them in s1 and getting 11 undying in all of them,problem was pretty much they were scaled for entry level/early season therefore as soon as u got gear they were getting more and more easier. It clearly didn’t help either when they just buffed 10% more hp/dmg done on the mobs for the following season… 
Again, the 2 minute on use trinket that gives you a bunch of your lowest stat.
Full disclosure, I dont do Normal Raid.
But I have been recently pugging the mythic raid. And it’s not as bad as I thought.
Big thanks to Razgard for literally carrying me the first couple of times…
Just to say that I have done the same thing as you, but on the opposite side of the scale.

I can only give you my PoV:
So S4 in SL was nice because they experimented with new things. And they had balance tuning and stuff like that.
S4 in DF on the other hand… I absolutely hated it and stopped playing.
There was nothing new. They did not experiment with new systems or methods. They did ZERO balance tuning in 8 months… The season was so… stale… and really disappointing.
Getting Dinars from LFR was cheating, the game will be so much better now that everybody has to do normal raid/M+. Finally players will need to show skill to get Dinars.
We should trust Blizz, they do know best.
What skill?
The only thing you need to get the dinars with this system is the patience of a Saint to suffer through people.
Normal raid is easier than LFR
I dunno, depends on the group - I’ve managed to find a couple of proper chilled groups just wanting to do the first 4 bosses.
You’re a high end player, so I tend to respect your opinions on that sort of stuff, but 1 question - is Heroic any harder than Normal, as I’m tempted to try and pug it tonight with my woeful 697 ilvl
Speaking from experience, Omegaforge on heroic is “harder” than normal, but not because of the mechanics or just beefed up bosses, but mainly because the scaling is atrocious.
We raid together with a mythic raiding guild in their social runs, and even they state that some encounters we do with 10 man are easier on mythic because Heroic scales so poorly.

Gotcha - looks like I’m sticking to NM then. Not a problem to me, I’ve actually enjoyed it (despite never having stepped out of LFR before)
I don’t enjoy them. They are just recycled content, even worse when it had affixes in raids.
I’d rather have no S4
My reply was not in earnest, it was a quip on those vocal minority in the forums who turn the add-on question into some fundamental morally charged problem of nearly religious proportions

I enjoyed affixes in raids. They were fun.
What I liked is that the raids cycled. You were not in the same place week after week. And you went from progressing 8 bosses to 24. Which was also cool.
But it dosent matter if you liked them or not. It was an experiment they did. Something new, radical.
Some things were popular. Some things were not. They kept the popular stuff and ditched the rest. That is what I think they should do in the future.
How’s that a ‘problem’? That’s a good thing!
Yeah, no, they didn’t.
They ditched the most popular part. 
OT but is the token once a week after the initial 3?
yes it is

My big problem with the change is that its easier for me to get into a RF than a normal raid.
