So far I’ve taken this season off from M+ and raiding since my brother and sister in law decided to take a break and just been doing casual pvp and some solo shuffle. I usually get to 2k+ for the mount on a heals and tank. In DF usually to around 2.7k. Last season on a preservation evoker.
However, the other day I randomly looked around and most people around me had massive raider IO ratings, like the vast majority.
Is this because of keys not depleting anymore, a more healthy m+ setting, has it always been this way, or something else?
this season is seen as easier
but, they also put additional rewards for timing all 12’s, and then for getting 3k, that I think is prompting people to push higher than they normally would.
lots (me included) would get to 10s and stop because that was where the rewards stopped. now there’s a reason to go higher other than nerd points.

A variety of reasons.
Affixes aren’t as bad as they were in previous seasons.
Gearing in S2 is easier all around. They lowered the threshold for runed and gilded crests dropping from M+, and also let players collect up to 31 gilded crests a week purely through Delves. The cost to buy an enchanted crest for crafting is also lower than it was previously.
Resilient keystones not depleting after +12.
New mount at 3K (KSL) which incentivizes more people to chase a higher rating. Previously, many people (including myself) stopped at 2500 as there wasn’t a reward past that, minus the title for the suuuuuper sweat-, er, elite players.

The level of +12 is around last season’s +10 and they didn’t change the boosted score from jumping from +11 to +12 in change that if you do all +12 you are almost 3k.
So the score is not anymore aligning with the keys you have done in comparison to low and high. You need to think that 2.9k is low currently and each 100 is high increase to that, below 2.9k is basically nothing.

its 1 key level easier or so for me.
i did mostly 11s and 2 stuck at 10 last season.
i did mostly 12s and 2 stuck at 11 this season.
not a huuuuge diff in score but def higher.
im pretty sure it’ll be some 13s and all 12s done by the time the season ends, if i dont find something else to do that is.
