The response from the developers thus far takes no account of players who believe they’re behind some kind of weekly power curve.
Unless something changes, players in that position will have to try to catch up however they can.
If you want to comment on how that solution isn’t satisfactory, you’ll need to do it in a forum that the developers choose to accept feedback from. Which isn’t Bug Reports any more for this issue, since as far as the developers are concerned the bug is fixed. (It’s not a bug they’re not compensating for lost progress – it’s their intentional choice, so QA will ignore complaints about it and the developers will never see it.)
There’s a General Discussion topic about it, which would serve as feedback.
