Right. The issue is it is particularly new.
We are in the middle of the current raid tier.
This happens when they add the previous raid tier to the duty finder when the new raid tier is released.
Because of the Raid Finder, which is in addition to the duty finder, it's locking players out of the current tier, whe n they were clearing it a week ago in lesser gear anyways.

The workaround for us was to go farm content for fast tomes and upgrade a piece of gear with lore that was immediately replaced in thje instance wit h the lower level piece anyways.
Other groups unfortunately did get locked out due to capped lore and unavailable upgrade options.

It's minor to most, but wholly unnecessary regardless.
