I have no idea how you expect people to do this twice a year. Either one of two things should happen here.
The first option is simple. Make the gains bigger. 10 to 15 jumps in power all the way up to max. Doing pinnacle ops hundreds of times is tedious and absolutely boring.
The second option is to kill the grind in 6 months. Let all the gear from the current year have all the bonuses and gear power with no reset until next expansion.
Gonna add divides video cause. It is relevant.

Edit: For those saying "you have 6 months." No we don't. The power resets in 6 months. So the longer I take to get to max power the more I will be punished for waiting. If I hit max a week before the reset I'm back to 0 and little t5s to show for it. THIS is the problem with the system itself. It actively punishes those who wait or play casually. If power sharing was enabled for loot. Then I could still raid and play the game super chill. I could just team up with players that want to grind everytime. But they hate that idea it seems.

I just want them to remove the power grind entirely. It's such an archaic system at this point in the games life, especially with how this current team wants to implement power deltas in all the end game/aspirational content. It's still perfectly fine to have the gear tiers locked behind the difficulties. We want to farm, not grind power levels that literally means nothing.
