I'm going to say that I think this format is more fair to everyone, and I actually like it. A lot of people are complaining that this is 100% pay to play. And I agree with that. In this format, you're going to have to drop a little cash to make T2, and there are a lot of people out there that have made T2 without dropping any cash in the other format.

HOWEVER, if you were making T2 in the other format as a free player, you were relying HEAVILY on T1 allies that would finish your bosses and seed you top notch bosses to get in on. And those allies were the ones spending $200+. So T1 players/competitors were footing a majority of the bill for the rest of us. Under this format, I'd venture to say that you could get T1 for <$100 and T2 for <$30, and you rely only on yourself. Basically, its giving those T1 players backs a little break from carrying us (including me). Just my perspective.
