The exception to this like I said before was the last dungeon that was released in MoP, which was overly undertuned compared to what heroic raids used to be. That's less than LFR killing raiding content, and more on the raiding content itself being too easy on normal (and even heroic/savage) difficulty.

    And you very well know that no amount of numberical buff/echo would make something like T5 easier, since its mostly one-shot mechanics on spot checks, espesically when there's no prior boss fights that use the same mechanics, not even Titan EX.
    It's simple really. By dumbing down fights so much in LFR that even a 3 year old could do it, players were preconditioned to think that its ok to stand in fire, its ok to not interrupt "1 shot moves", its ok to do terrible dps or afk and still win the fight. If this were in the case in isolation it would be fine for the most part, but many players after clearing LFR went on to do normal and heroic raids, and carried these thoughts with them. Then when they failed, they went to the blizzard forums and QQed about raids being too hard when it was the same all along and the problem actually lay with them.

    Now imagine if these players came to ARR. They think that they should have the right to use LFR, click 1 button, pray the matchmaking system finds 7 other players to carry them and go afk or stand in fire and still hope to win the fight. And if they didn't win they would continue whining till they got what they wanted.

    There are other reasons, but this is the main reason why players have gotten bad and lazy over the years. I saw how it ruined Wow and the reason why I quit after cataclysm. and will not let it happen a second time to FFXIV.
