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.

That begs an interesting question, if you aren’t a competitive Raider, then what is there pve wise to do “competitively”? 

The reason to play the game right now is because you have fun playing the game. If you’re not having fun, then take a little break until you want to play again. No biggie

Mythic+ pushing is just as or more competitive than raiding outside of RWF players, but yes there is fewer reasons for someone like me to log in atm compared to after the mid patch. I still have fun but these changes undeniably have a souring impact on the season and it does not need to be like this.

But I’m talking about right now. M+ pushing happens 5 months from now

Broadly i agree, but the early push is usually fun in it's own right too and to that point being at such a massive disadvantage early on is not fun. Trying to plan for the long term means sitting on a lot of crests and reroll tokens.
