To start you on your Shadowlands Season 3 journey, we’ll be lowering some of the Great Vault participation requirements beginning next week’s maintenance on March 1.

Raid Vault

The new thresholds for the raid requirements will map better to the structure of the Sepulcher of the First Ones raid, especially for groups attempting to move from one difficulty up into the next.

• The first Raid Vault now requires 2 Raid Boss victories (was 3).
• The second Raid Vault now requires 5 Raid Boss victories (was 6).
• The third Raid Vault now requires 8 Raid Boss victories (was 9).

Mythic+ and PvP Vaults

We want to make these feel a little more attainable, even as aspirational goals for highly-engaged players who love that type of content.

• The third Mythic+ Vault now requires 8 completed dungeons (was 10).
• The third PvP Vault now requires 5500 Honor earned in Rated PvP (was 6250).

The 'its only worth of playing wow on the last patch of expansion' was never this real, are the devs finally playing the game???

they want to make an actual change that matter, add great vault rewards for doing things beyond the limited raid, mythics and rated pvp.  Limiting rewards to these 3 specific endgame activities was Just more of the elitist mindset that has driven off most of the casual playerbase that made WoW what it was at it's height during Wrath

That wouldn't matter at all? If people want to do those things, they need to have some level of gear to do it, and then get rewards from it, hence GV. For everything else, gear is not relevant. Want to WQ? can do it naked, pet battle? Naked, do all the quests in the game? Some of them even easier naked!

There are no other real end game activities bar Boreghast perhaps. But that's far too unbalanced to reward any meaningful gear progression.

I'm curious why this change and post makes you say that?

These are some welcomed changes but I feel as if this should of been implemented earlier at the start of SL.  I got burned out due to other players non motivational means to better themselves in a Mythic+ setting, the limited amount of gear on a non timed key along with BiS Conduits not dropping at the time, and  the select affixes that were not properly scaled at the start of season 1 and dungeon scaling.  This also led players into 'buying' their M+ dungeon runs with either gold or tokens just to have the achievements/mounts.

Heck I don't even know if I would want to come back for even the next expansion.
