I partially blame Blizzard for this. (at least this expansion)
casuals like me, LFR is a yay for us. It basically serves as a great thing for casuals (hey, can at least experience the raids yo)
but in this expansion, if you notice; a lot of the quests (especially orange / legendary) requires "MYTHIC DUNGEON / MYTHIC RAID" (normal dungeon tabuli, normal raid, i'm not so sure).
I understand Blizzard needs to implement some sort of gating, but by artificially gating the majority casuals (well, i dare say its majority lah) doesn't promote players to "learn to raid".
After all, gating the raids was something that the hardcore audience wanted for their e-penors, and Mythic was their "holy ground" where no casuals will touch. And i'm fine with it.
But its when Blizzard try to "force" casuals to go hardcore, that's where the real problem (in this case) because the casuals will whine (because its way beyond the abilities, not like we want ez-mode, just let us experience the stuff, but you can keep the way better stuffs for the mythic e-penor strokers) and the hardcore audiences will find their "holy ground of epic eliteness" once again "polluted" and "desecrated" by influx of casuals who just want to raid for the quest / item.
It's Blizzard, I tell ya. They're trying too hard to get back to the "good old days" of Ultima Online style "you must be of this that class and this that style".
Hmm..does it matters if casual don't get legendary? It doesn't matter right because you don't need legendary to LFR to have a peek on raid boss, you don need legendary to do pvp skirmishes.
I don't think blizz is forcing casual to go hardcore, but I see blizz forcing competitive pvper to pve because for min maxing, the ilvl matters. Thus you see streamers that don't pve previously, is constantly uploading pve content, they have to pve to be competitive to provide competitive content, this makes me sad. But competitive pve-er, doesn't need to pvp to be competitive lulz.
Personally I hate elitist so much.. So much hate
