LFR Lockout Stinks

-
Why Blizzard, why? Sunday night, I jumped into LFR Mogu'shan Vaults at Boss 2. Not by choice, by accident. I wanted to see the entire raid. Anyway, I hit Greed/DE on loots that I couldn't use. Now I am locked out from rolling on the boss again until, until today? 

Still annoying.

    The raid lockout in LFR is a little different than a normal raid. You aren't "locked" in LFR, as you can run it as many times as you would like. You do, however, only get one regular roll for loot from a boss per raid lockout period (i.e. weekly). The roll is automatic, and you will either get loot or a bag of gold. The only need/greed/DE rolls are for non-boss loot (greens and such). If you are on the Wrathion quest, you get one shot at the quest item per boss per week.

    If you have any Elder Charms of Good Fortune (turn in the lesser charms once a week for three Elder Charms), a bonus roll box will pop up and you can either take an extra roll, or pass and save the charm for another boss.

    For example, I want to get a drop from a certian boss. I normally have three charms every week. On my first run of the week I get my normal roll, most of the time it's just gold. I use my first charm for the bonus roll. After the raid, I queue up again. Now when the boss dies, I only have a bonus roll. At this point, because it isn't the last boss, I'll drop out of the group and queue again. This will use my last charm of the week when the boss drops and I take the bonus roll.

    If you do daily quests and get the lesser charms and turn them in for Elder Charms, you can get four shots at loot from a boss per week. I would suggest checking wowhead to see what the bosses drop, so you can use your Elder Charms wisely.

Legion's Mythic+ Dungeon Final Impressions

Yesterday, Ythisens  posted a question on the WoW forums asking for final impressions on the Mythic+ dungeons. With Legion coming to a close we thought we might try something a little different and collect some specific feedback on things. While we normally are reading tons of posts you guys make and sharing the details internally, we want to try collecting focused feedback to ensure your opinions are being heard. We're still doing our usual methods but want to see if this can be something we use going forward.    For the first one we're going to try one focused on Mythic+! We want to hear everything you guys have on this feature we introduced in Legion. What you think it does well, what you think it doesn't, ways you'd like to see it go, how did it work throughout the course of the expansion, etc.    Also a friendly note that just because you see it here doesn't mean it will be changed or added - and this topic is not an indication of future feature deve...

Profession Opinions

IMHO, spend your first points for herbalism or mining in 40 into [ botany ] or 35 into [ mining process ] so that you can gather while mounted.  I hate that the skinning trainer is standing immediately behind one of the leatherworking tables. I am constantly clicking on them.  I 100% agree with everyone that says the fishing profession needs a hat slot. We may need a secondary equipment slot for toons with a fishing ring.  I wish the crafting orders system worked 'better'. To complete "# of (profession) crafting orders" quests, my default is to go to my bank toon, and order low-level items. Gimme 3 bolts of cloth, or 2 handfuls of bolts, or 3 'profession equipment'. I sort of wish that when I specify a personal order, I could see their available recipes. Oh, look my hunter can make ___, lets's order 3 of those? My bank toon could order profitable items, not just garbage fillers.  Leveling engineering is dreadful. Creating 1 middle-level item, requires 1 ra...
