"We�d like to ... minimize the elements that have made guild raiders
feel like they needed to do Raid Finder each week as part of their
core progression. Accordingly, while loot will be awarded more
frequently, Raid Finder in Warlords will have different loot tables
than the Normal, Heroic, or Mythic versions of the raids, along with
different item art. The gear will fall in between dungeon loot and
Normal mode raid loot in terms of power, as it does today, but without
the set bonuses and specific trinkets that tend to make raiders feel
like they need to run Raid Finder alongside their weekly guild raids
today."

Oof. That is not going to go down well; I have a strong suspicion that
far more people regard LFR as their main source of raiding, than feel
"forced" to run it in addition to regular raiding. Personally, I can
live with it, LFR is the only raiding I do but it's no great priority
of mine, I play WoW for the questing and collecting elements
primarily, infact I only completed SoO once (burned out completing my
cloak, can't face any more raiding for a while!), so while I'm
annoyed, it's not that big a deal personally, its main effect will be
to make me do even less LFR. But to the people who love raiding in LFR
form, it is enormously unfair to take so much away from them. 

Had it been like this from the start, it would've been no problem, but
we've had two years of LFR getting lower ilvl versions of regular raid
gear, to take that away now is harsh. The ugly LFR "sets" just add
insult to injury as well, everyone's going to transmog away from
those! I can see where the devs are coming from, but it's far too late
for this change to not seriously piss off a large number of people,
I'll be interested to see if it actually survives to release without a
few changes.
