Nah, as i said before, it was different back then, depending how much and efficiently you played back in 2005-2010 period, you could start raid logging after a bit.
Reps etc included, if you were farming everything from the first days, they became irrelevant quite quickly, it all depends on the level and efficiency you play.
BFA isnt any different, most played till Breath Rank 3, especially since it got changed to Revered mid-farm and after that you can just grind enough for vessels + raid log, and since they buffed that also, even less required, cant really complain

I am sorry that i have IRL friends and matters to attend to since forever, and 2-10 other games to play.
I am sorry it takes you, probably 10 times longer to do things.
So yes, if given the choice,i will max out my character in days because i aint shit at games, and then raid log.
