GC, lack of tanks has to be one of the main problems you guys need to work on - 45+ min LFR queue as DPS, is just not cool. It seems to have gotten worse with 5.4. We're looking at the data to try to understand what's going on. If you want to know why there is less tanks. Please tank a lfr and you will have your answers. If that was the only issue, it would likely be a gradual decline not a sudden drop at 5.4. That implies it's flex (or a bug). then take a look at it before you say it doesnt guarantee everything. There are guys in LFR doing 10K dps because they don't realize that e.g. you should use abilities as fast as you can. In that environment, being able to do any kind of PG will help teach that player how WoW combat should really be played. And yet the enrage timers in SoO LFR are tuned as though this was not the case. Hitting enrage timers in LFR is nearly always a lack of understanding the mechanics rather than just low DPS. That's still on us to fix, but we'd rather not just dial down all the mechanics until you can just ignore them. My concern and experience is that SoO LFR seems to be tuned for a level of skill and gear that the mode no longer attracts. The feedback was very similar for ToT LFR until players knew the fights better. No PG experience can be a substitute for the 10 years of raiding that many of us have, but it can serve as an introduction. Did i get you wrong that it should be an additional prerequisite? Or would it either be ilevel or pgs? Yeah, we would never require PGs for LFR. It would just be a way to demonstrate that you didn't need the ilevel. Just heard the best description of LFR "If someone tells me to eat a pile of crap for $10 million, I'll eat the pile of crap" I get that, but there are also heroic raiders who get bored once the loot stops rolling it. So you can't just argue that every activity must be so fun that the rewards don't play into someone's desire to do it. Please don't remove the ability to enter LFR purely on iLevel. Forcing PG medal would effectively shut off LFR for too many. The idea I floated, and Olivia even referenced, was PG letting you enter with a lower ilevel because you know what you're doing. what is the future for lfr now you have split its community in two with flex raiding. it seems from in game play lfr is done. LFR is still more popular than flex. However we think flex will be more fun for many of our players so we don't mind some transition. Why is kick protection a thing? having people do nothing and be toxic intentionally is rather frustrating. It was originally to protect folks in 5-player content from e.g. being kicked so they couldn't roll on loot. We are considering that kick rules might be too strict on 25-player LFR, where one toxic player can affect a bunch of others. I dont understand why people get so hyped about LFD being unsocial. It isnt.Without it, only a few would see content. It's pretty unsocial but it still serves a valuable purpose.

Class Balance Discussion

there are dozens of fan sites for that. The entire point of having an official forum is to talk to the devs directly. Just to be clear, that is not our goal for the official forums. question and run stats on the collected data. Allows massive and robust sample. Agreed, but it has one massive downside, in that there is no back and forth discussion among players, which I really value. Regardless, the forums serve two purposes: people complaining to Blizzard; people trolling those people. While that exists, I find that view a little cynical. There are good discussions with a lot of back and forth as well. We learn a lot when there is back and forth between two sides, especially if we can ascertain why they feel a certain way. I always see the same people trolling for nerfs and crusading against certain classes. Everyone Is OP except me. As a team, we're a lot more interested in fun than balance. It's just for some players they are tightly connected. And of course fun is subjective, so one can't just play the "X isn't fun for me - change it" card. That there is too much content that requires balance and not enough content that encourages variety? It's concern, but we're a lot better at making the "balance" content than we are the "variety" content.
