Light fares don't give any luggage allowance.

So your argument that a la carte pricing makes it cheaper for those who don't want to pay for bags doesn't hold any water. They used the introduction of the new model as a cover to jack the prices up.
I believe, for many, the main complain is that when one is buying a ticket from a non-LH site, one is often not aware of the fact that the fare is Light Fare and doesn't include any luggage allowance.
Further, (if one read all details of the fare and noted that it doesn't include any luggage) in such a case one can purchase extra luggage allowance, but if the fare stays as Light Fare, then as a *G one will have only one piece of luggage, not 2.
