Since the ilvl boost is so minimal and the next relic quest progression isn't even out yet, I don't feel compelled to 'spam' anything.

Sure, I look for bonus windows, but I've only been doing about 300 lights/week since the patch and I feel like I've been making great progress without much time investment. If I only have a couple hours or so, I can fit in at least 20-30 lights. On the weekends, I can do big jumps like 200 between 2 days with little effort. If it's a HM primal I can even get GC seals from weapon turn ins and myth. Wolfmarks and myth/sold from frontlines.

I'd suggest taking a step back, breathe, and just get a different perspective on it. This is truly the most flexible progression step yet.
