Noob topic: LFR, LFG vs normal 5 man Cata

Which ones are you referring too? The HOT heroics are on WOTLK heroic levels... very easy to box and gear up.

I agree. The 4.3 heroics (with the possible exception of Baine) are WAY easier to box than most of the earlier heroics. Your gear level, naturally, will make a big difference though. I am in mostly 378/384/397 gear. I suggest boxing LFR (with all toons doing dps) each week at the very least. If you have trouble boxing the new heroics, then do them with single (or 2) toons one at a time. They go really fast. 30-45 min with real people.

My problem with LFR is that people have a tendency to hate boxers and vote kick often.

There is a reason for that, I looted 3 tier items from one boss ( funny thing is it was 1 char that got all loot on rolls ).
After that people started next encounter and stopped tanking/healing and made us wipe and I got kicked, not the first time that happend either ....
