I actually find that running DS in LFR has gotten harder.
At the start, the only people running LFR might have been undergeared,
but they were generally pretty experienced. It was hard, but doable.
After a 2-3 months, the same experienced players were running LFR DS,
but they'd gotten better geared. It was a cakewalk.
Now, the experienced players are fully geared up, from both drops and
valor gear. DS provides nothing worth getting, so they've dropped out.
The players now in LFR are mostly newer to it, and not as experienced
(no offense). Its gotten harder again, with a lot more wipes due to
people not knowing what they're doing.
