Well, in my experience so far in both SB and ShB vs BfA. If I were to start at the weekly reset, I would usually be done in an hour for normal raids, or at the worst before the daily reset on Tuesday. Meanwhile, most weeks, I have gotten no gear (not even ones I could trade) from all the LFR wings. Of course, it's RNG, so technically, I could've gotten gears at every boss. But just from these past two-three years, the RNG in FFXIV just happens to be on my side more than in WoW. Especially with ShB's loot system, it is much easier to get the loot I want, plus having to only focus on the boss makes it faster to replay.

Just on a side note, I don't know why it is I have such worse experience in LFR (just in terms of completing them, not even talking about loot) compared to even new alliance raids in FFXIV. People seem to give up too easily in LFR or something, even with Determination stacks available which should make things a bit easier, or they get their one loot they wanted and then bailed.

Anyways, I'm ok with personal loot. I just think it shouldn't have a no-gear option. There should be always gear dropped, and then you can decide if you want it or not. Also, for WoW, I wish there is a way to say I want loots for all my specs instead of just the current one.
