Because their raiding tour begins and ends with LFR. Sprinkle in some garrison loot and random world boss loot, and they are happy.

Besides that, crafted is just too much of a PITA to fuck with for people who raid Normals and above, so no worries if it devalues that loot since it essentially has no value to begin with to a raider.
What? Mythic progression guilds decked out their raiders with fully upgraded crafted gear. In fact that upgraded shit is in very high demand for raiders.

My interest in PvE has been killed by how faceroll it is, Heroics and LFR are far too easy... and yeah LFR was endgame for me in MoP and it seemed just fine in terms of dfficulty with some of the bosses pre nerfs.

So... maybe find a group for some normal raiding instead of complaining that LFR/heroics are too easy. Heroics were quite a bit harder in WoD than MoP, also, so I have no idea what you expected.

Edit: To add some actual meat to my commentary, you can make things as easy or as difficult as you want it in WoW. If you want a more challenging raid environment all you have to do is move up a tier. There is a difficulty setting for everyone. I could understand the complaint if you couldn't simply turn up the difficulty slider to get the proper level of challenge out of your raiding or dungeoneering experience. If you want a truly difficult dungeon find a group for the challenge mode daily - that'll be a blast.

Shit, don't suggest that Bain, then we'll get another 40 posts about how bad the average WoW player is and why can't he complete a CM.

CMs are pretty difficult to pug but I have managed to complete even UBRS with a "i cc my target" feral druid who switches forms to root caster mobs and manages a maximum of 9k dps on bosses(hello, subswipe of kil'jaeden). If you're a decent player and want to your CM daily feel free to add me, I can dps or heal.

Having 3+ garrisons sucks. I can barely convince myself to log in daily and I'm sure I'll just stop caring soon enough. I wish this shit was account-wide and a bit more fleshed out.

Got to 150 mounts last night, zooming around on my kite. Feels good man.
I think I can get to 200 sorta no problem (I have 200 account wide but lol alliance/horde not sharing certain mounts for whatever reason). Also I don't know when mounts started costing a shitload of money but dayum

Exactly how I feel, still playing but man there has to be more than this?

PvP, raids, reputations for cosmetics, achievements and garrisonville are the end-game. Just like before, but with the addition of garrisons.

If none of those interest you, then it's not going to last long.

Garrisons are there to supplement your activities. Follower missions and salvage were never intended to be your main source of gear. Hell, you dont even have to do your mining/herb gathering every day if you dont need gold. Ive got 3 characters at max level, and almost a fourth.. no fucking way am I keeping up with each of these bastards. Im only doing what I need on the character I plan to raid with, and keep achievements up with.

(Ie. Dont worry about your garrisons so much - they arent integral. Go play the rest of the game.)

I am working on my followers for just my main. While I did not get the 3 scavengers, I did get one. I have a very nice spread for damage types on all of my followers and only have 6 left that are not epic. I have worked 8 of them to 630 and every day add one to the list. That being said, I have seen a total of 2 645 missions. The shoulders I did get were very nice. Multishot and mastery with Leech incorporated.

You don't have every slot in missions, at least until raiding missions (we'll see how they work when they unlock).

What rest of the game?

At high level, there's exactly three activities: raids, pvp and garrison. Four if you count Vitality playing the AH under you.

If you're having trouble convincing yourself to log in this early into the expansion then the game probably isn't for you. I don't think there is really much more to say.

The shoulders I replaced had those stats minus leech. They were the ones that dropped in LFR. I was pleasantly surprised to get shoulders that rolled that well, but any piece can roll like that. I had a 630 follower chest that double rolled the multistrike as an example of what can happen. In a way the follower mission could roll best in slot if you got really lucky. I do not mind random but I wish you could reroll all gear instead of just the crafted gear. You can in Diablo3.

Maybe you are right and I need to try out group finder more, but I don't want a second job if guilds are still like that.

I really don't think asking you to log in once, twice, or three times a week at a set time for a set amount of time to slay dragons is a second job, but hey, if that isn't for you that is exactly what the LFG tool is for.

...which is way too easy. I want to log on when I choose and be able to tackle an appropriate difficulty of content. And yeah set log in times is a second job, maybe part time, but still...

No reason why they can't have faceroll dungeons, middle difficulty heroics and hard raids. Or several LFG difficulties.
