Does anyone know if blizzard planned some new kind of Catch up Mechanic in 5.4?
Right now its a Pain. You are forced to do LFR over and over again. I ding level 90 and just the thinking of doing LFR hundrets of times makes me log out instantly.

I think they're removing rep requirements for Valor gear?

Most likely they'll stick with what they did in 5.2 (if you ask me). Up the limit on Mogu Runes, maybe up the current limit of 20 on elder charms, and increase drop rates in ToT, maybe even up the drop rates in MSV/HoF/ToES even farther.
Might get shot for this one, but I rather liked their previous model of 5 mans being added with each tier to help catch up to the next raid content.
In process of catching up right now, it's kind of slow I agree to get into normal and heroic raiding, but at least getting into 5.2 lfr is trivial with the 502 boots from the 5.3 quest chain, 1 item 489 per week from barrens a 522 neck for VP in week 2 and 476 honor gear if needed. At 492 now. Might have found a raidgroup desperately enough looking for a tank to carry me, but other than that it's hard to go without at least the current lfr. Can do heroic Scenarios of feeling lucky.

Increasing chance of loot from coin rolls in Throne LFR, greatly increasing chance of loot from T14 LFR all around, increasing chance of loot from Throne of Thunder LFR, removal of rep requirements from 5.0/5.1 valor gear, causing Tyrannical gear to be purchasable with honor, allowing for crafted Malevolent 476 gear
It should be fairly simple in order to gear up to 480. After 480, one should be able to acquire 500 ilvl with heroic scenarios+daily challenge mode. With 500 ilvl, you should be able to enter Flex mode (find a group, or make one yourself) and acquire some decent PvE gear. Hop into normal raiding after that, without EVER going into LFR.
Finally, for legendary catchup- first step should allow for quick catchup- a full T14 LFr run, full T15 LFR run, and normal raids (or 2x of each LFR) should allow one to get all 10 sigils. After that, 3 weeks for 3k valor, in addition to easily 3 manning (or soloing depending on class) the warlord. (BGs will be as troublesome/easy as ever). There MIGHT be a buff to Secrets. Titan Runestone will most likely remain 100% on Lei Shen, and same on others.
Unless it's changed, last I heard 5.4 is taking out the Barrens weekly event and just leaving things in for the 5.3 quest chain, so you might see people buying the '489 junk' more than you think, especially trinkets, rings and bracers, slots the Barrens stuff didn't cover.
Honor Tyrannical gear
LFR increase drops
drop price of tot valor gear
remove requirements for 496 or lower gear.
That treasure trove run for 5.2 was great, but Blizzard seems to not want to make a clone so I dunno. We should get some kind of way to get 10+ coins a week. Or maybe make Elders work with both tiers.
Blizzard might be fine with encouraging people to PVP for some honor gear and feeling like LFR + flex both is enough
I think Blizzard should only use two kind of coins: the "Justice" coins, which are easy to obtain and can be used to speed up the drops in non-current raids, and the "Valor" coins for the current content. When a new patch is released, just change the old raids ro the Justice coins, so to dramatically improve loot chance.
