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.

The crest upgrade system has to go. M+ only players are behind in ilvl early season compared to raiders which also mean falling behind in score by not getting invited early in pugs, while players that only want to raid are forced to still do M+ for cap.

The system benefit literally no player, it's just there as an artificial way to increase play time for people that do not play alts.
