My fear now is that to save the poor dear raiders from feeling obliged
to do LFR for their legendary quest chains when their guild hasn't got
through normal mode, LFR won't get it next time (assuming there is
another chain). I very much hope I'm wrong, I loved having access to
the chain this time out, gave me a lot more purpose in the game having
something like that to work on.

Agreed! I don't want them taking these things *away* from those of us
who aren't in high-end raid guilds, that's all. For most of the
history of the game we never had these things, we've had them this
expansion, and now some are being removed again, I'm worried how far
it'll go.
