The balance is to just stop the raid or die nonsense. Clearly it isn't working even with LFR in the game.

It isn't unreasonable that a player should be able to get end game gear without raiding. Make difficult 5 man content already. This is usually where the peanut gallery says ho, ho, they can't do that!

Sure they can.

In fact they can make end game content for solo scenarios, 5s, 10s and 20s. Then counterbalance it with loot table drop percentages. So that solo play can reward the same end game gear but does so at a much slower rate than 20s. That fixes the problem with raid or die. LFR isn't needed.
