I got 26 of my toons through LFR the first week without buying any PvP gear to increase their item level. It is great fun.
Personally, I made sure my guys were properly gemmed/enchanted/hit capped before queueing up. My DPS was definitely competitive, typically having the 6th, 9th, 11th, 12th highest DPS if I took four toons. Not uber, but far from the worst.
I'd feel a bit bad about having the 18th highest DPS in a raid, getting completely carried, and sucking up loot. Seems to add to all the "moron-ity" that we all complain about. I know that I don't like it when I see guys doing 10K or less DPS. I suppose that if the raids aren't wiping due to low DPS, it might be OK to just buy 377 PvP gear and bring in some scrub toons with crap gear. I just hate to add to the "boxers suck" mentality that many people have. Then again, I tend to want to be an ambassador for good for our little community
Anyway, doing these LFRs with guildies is absolutely fabulous. It is a lot of fun to be able to see the raid content and raid as a guild. It is an easy way to get a lot of us geared up so we can consider doing "real" raid content togehter. Great stepping stone and one of the best things Blizzard has ever done. Kudos Blizz!
