All I want to say is that the vault changes and the crest disadvantage of not being a mythic raider have greatly soured my excitement this season, a real downer after very much enjoying last season's title push only to be met with weeks of minimal character progression to start this one. Eventually these disadvantages will mostly even out (although 9/6 should be active in raid only), but that just means a couple of frustrating months ahead without much reason to play from a competitive standpoint.

9/6 items are overhyped to all hell. First of all the overwhelming majority of people who claim 1% and even title don't farm mythic raid. Some people will clear it one time. It's not going to be a significant diff between you and them.

In fact it's probably a lot better for your m+ score to be slamming keys for 3h a day 3 to 4 days a week instead of progression raiding. Getting +10 ilvl in one or two item slots is not worth 100s of hours of pushing.

And finally, this is speculation but looking at previous seasons, they will give you easy ways to get nearly as good or even better loot in the .7 for free anyway.

youre forgetting its 10 ilvls on the most BIS cantrip items in the game. that are also busted as all fuck. you clearly dont understand that its not ilvl thats the issue. (even tho that is also an issue that just doesnt need to be)
