Warfronts AFK Fix

To put it as succinctly as I can...

Warfronts give 340+ loot. The equivalent of M0 dungeons, or LFR - the former requires you to find a group that's willing to take you (so good luck to anyone playing a spec that's performing poorly, right now), while the latter has extremely long queue times (especially for DPS). And while LFR has more bosses and, therefore, a higher chance of drops, neither gives guaranteed drops, and both require the party/raid to engage and understand at least the basics of the mechanics.

Warfronts, comparatively, can be queued for as long as you have an overall ilvl of 320, tend to have queues pop quickly, are very difficult to fail, and give a guaranteed reward. The problem is that - at least IMO - they're not engaging at all. They feel mind-numbingly dull. I *want* to run them because they're easy sources of 340 loot, but I can't force myself through them any more. I don't AFK during Warfronts, because I'd rather not be a leech, but instead I just stopped running them. Which would be fine, if they didn't feel so necessary for gearing alts.

It's alright if other people enjoy the system, and I agree that AFKing during Warfronts is a problem, but I can also understand why people do it, even if I disagree with it. It's a symptom of a larger problem.
