I’m glad the farming requirements have been reduced by so much. I’ve only had to play 2-3 hours to get most everything I want. I appreciate the feedback was listened to and I’m not “forced” to play a mode I don’t enjoy for 20+ hours for the other game I do enjoy. Again, thank you.

That’s the neat part, nobody was ever forced to do it.

You can play the other game and get the same rewards a month later 
Sure, technically we aren’t “forced” to do it, like other posters love to point out. But if you like pirate themed stuff, like a lot of people do, you feel obligated to do it, because this is where the largest majority of the best pirate-themed mounts and transmogs are. Semantics, or whatever.
That said, totally agree with the OP. I wasn’t playing last year so I went into this with the assumption that it’s going to be a massive slog that I was going to hate, because in general I’m just not great at BR games and don’t enjoy them. But getting plunder (and keeping it, I was worried there wouldn’t be a 1:1 ratio of plunder looted to plunder available to spend, but what you see is in fact what you get, and you get to keep it all if you die) is easy enough that the mode feels more casual and less like a mindless, stressful grind.
So, thanks devs for that, it’s definitely appreciated by at least some of us.

I definitely appreciate that it’s a store this time, rather than a renown track.
As much as I grew to like Plunderstorm by the time I was done with it, having a 1:1 ration of plunder gained, that you can spend on exactly what you want, is definitely a much more elegant system than the renown track.
And yes, having the old option along side the new ones is both good to negate the FOMO, and also to keep returning players from having a huge daunting grind ahead of them.

At a non-farmable currency cost loss…
What do you mean? there is bonus tender every month for doing activities.
There has only ever been so much currency, up to this point you may have only been able to acquire (guessing) 20k tenders able to be earned. If you don’t gain it here you potential lose on thousands of tenders trying to catch up. So if they bring it to the vendor next month you spend 1-2k of tenders and miss the mount they add or armor sets they add that are not related. Collectors think like this.
They cycle a lot of the tender items, trust me you’re not going to miss out.
