It's 650 badges per run (on average) and the mounts cost 5k. 10 dungeons isn't really that bad, especially if you're a collector and are used to running a dungeon dozens if not hundreds of times for a mount.
Wow thats way faster than I was expecting I did not know you got that many badges per run. Okay so maybe that is a bang out a mount in a weekend or two thing which is not bad at all.

Oh I don't see any armor on that list did I miss it?
Forgot the other junk added in the patch, they seperated it in to new items and not new items for whatever reason because MMO-C sucks

archimonde should at very least drop items of the same ilevel as the boosted apexis stuff from tannan. I don't think it is asking for to much to have the end boss in a raid even if it is LFR drop things along the quality of what you can get solo at no danger to yourself in about a week or a weekend if its the apexis event.
Doing all the dailies nets you less than 10k. It will take you much longer than a week to fill up on 695 gear. It is probably faster than LFR, and obviously more effective. Blizzard has basically said LFR exists for you to see the content and that is it. That is okay and I believe that is how it should be.

As for your dress up comment, heaven forbid something in this game is earned anymore.

WoD's design only cost them millions of subs. Guess it was the right choice! Blizzard should hire you to design the next xpac and kill the game for good.

The LFR loot not being pretty enough cost them millions of subs.... okay. Don't make it to 9 posts.

raiding is literally the last thing that cost them any subs as it's the thing they did best, I do think that there was a whiplash effect this expac though. There were 10 million players and they formed guilds to do raids then the people who were going to quite anyway left leaving holes in raid rosters, the people who would have stuck around then got discouraged and left because after a few million leaving it was difficult to field a competent team.

There are some hardcore LFR white knights here. Hey, I get it; I too am way more casual now than I was in vanilla, but LFR isn't the raid you casual crusty vets deserve. Normal tier raids have never had a lower barrier to entry. You can get in a normal run quite easily now, and you can drop in or out without concerns of holding your group back (if you choose to do more than pug'ing).

Blizzard is balancing the desire of people who want to see raid content without actually raiding and people that enjoy organized, large group play. I think where they're at with LFR now is perfect. There's no incentive for raiders to run it and decent incentive for people to try normal difficulty for the real raid experience.

Nope.

Doesn't matter what the barrier of entry is for Normal as compared to LFR for the simple reason that you can queue for LFR and you can't for Normal. That alone cost them my sub and I suspect a number of others as well as I was staying subbed just so I could pop in and do some LFR for modest bling. When modest bling turned into complete shit and LFR went full retard I dropped.

Turn Normal into LFR Heroic with an ilevel barrier to entry and the presence of an in-game group finder and things would be much better.

^

Just combine LFR and Normal. 4 is too many
3 difficulties:
Normal which you can q for. Drops XXX ilvl armor
Heroic which you need to form a group. Drops XXX + 20
Mythic which drops XXX + 35.

Cut out the 20 only mythic and make it flex like N and heroic. Just do a better job of tuning it. Also get rid of that silly lowest end tier looks like quest greens shit.

People complained about them, but if there were traditional daily quest hubs they probably would have held on to subs a bit longer.

And it wouldn't hurt if there was a reason to run heroic dungeons repeatedly, i.e. bring back badges.

I honestly liked the ilevel upgrade system with valor points. I think when they decided to prune reforging, enchanting nearly every slot, etc, they cut too far. Implementing the ilevel upgrades again fixes their dungeon running desirability problems and gives everyone a sense of progression (ie a reason to maintain a sub).

I did like valor much more than baleful items. Incentive to actually do content, it turns out, makes people actually play the game. Who woulda thought?

They like cutting things but they always go so far with it. It's almost like there's no middleground when it comes to it to be honest. Small complaint that there was a lack of dailies in cata.. the response? 8000 dailies in Pandaria, fuck you. Complaints about pandaland dailies, they cut it down to none with an absurd grind with reputations offering almost nothing at all. (another fucking wolf or boar mount wow amazing)

I don't get it.

It's 650 badges per run (on average) and the mounts cost 5k. 10 dungeons isn't really that bad, especially if you're a collector and are used to running a dungeon dozens if not hundreds of times for a mount.
You get 5 per boss, 10 for the last boss, and 10 for finishing a dungeon on live. You get a weekly quest that will give another 500. You're either going to have to run quite a bit more than 10 dungeons or it will be many months before you get those mounts.

is it 650 per run? the 500 badge item is a weekly thing and unless you can move badges between alts its really not "quick" at all.

Acquiring Timewarped Badge
Timewarped badges are awarded when:
Killing a boss - 5
Killing an end boss - 10
Completing a random dungeon - 10
The weekly quest The Unstable Prism - 500. This is awarded when looting Frigid Timewarped Prism.

So if you do the minimum, it is roughly 675 badges every timewalking event. That means it will take 7.4 timewalking events to obtain one mount. Not terrible, especially since this will be around in Legion.
