I usually clear raids later in the tier once I’ve geared up casually.
This tier however instead of a global raid buff that advances for everyone there is a dmg buff tied to the Gallagio rep. So in addition to having worse gear than the raiders and not knowing the fights, I’ll be doing 12% less damage than them, which is annoying and a bit humiliating.

The whole point of raid buffs in previous tiers was to help people who aren’t clearing the raid yet, this season it’s just a damage buff for people who already are, it’s totally backwards and you people can’t see past your “pull yourself up by your bootstraps” mentality of tryhard raiding.
There’s a catch up mechanism that will allow you to get up to the current level without any limitations. All you have to do is kill bosses on any difficulty. The only real limiting factor is still which week the buff is available so it still serves the same function it always did.
Have you tried just doing LFR for free renown levels? Your 12% buff being 6% or even 0% won’t matter when you join late and mostly everyone vastly overgears the content anyways.
So you just thought you should be able to waltz in and be on the same level as everyone else who has already been playing the whole season, then?
What, are you expecting to jump right into a CE guild mid tier where it would actually matter, or are you just butt mad that you’ll have to do a few runs before you’ll have the same buff in content where no one cares?
