BUT when they release the next raid tier, they also release craftet ilvl 250 gear. this gear is in any case superior to the old BiS gear. so there is no point in farming the BiS raidgear, because on patchday all raiders get the new ilvl 250 gear and throwing their ilvl 240 gear away.
You don't understand the concept either, but I don't blame you because somehow with patch 2.4 people threw the meaning of actual BiS (BEST in slot) out of the window and adapted of calling everything with an higher ilvl - BiS.
Therefore I can understand why you are complaining about the ilvl 250 gear are being made available to everyone after the servers go back online.

Now actual raiders don't care, because the mix and match of the actual gear sets, still outweigh the stats on the ilvl 250 gear. Sure there will be sets, just like in every other patch, that gives 1 or 2 classes the ability to go unsub since all they have to do is buying the crafted gear and meld it and wait for their team mates to catch up.

However it's not for every class like that and all it does, is giving people that haven't played the "old" raids the opportunity of jumping right into the patch cycle, buy gear, run the new dungeons/raid for better gear. For the "real" raider it doesn't matter if your 7 neighbors got their gear from the market board or farmed that gear, the gear becomes outdated the moment you set foot into the new raid content. If you are one of the people that actually farmed their gear prior, you won't have to bother of even getting the ilvl 250 crafted gear and can focus on other stuff.

You see the difference in raiders that don't stress about the patch and "raiders" that seem to care about an ilvl raise due to crafted gear on patch day?
