Blizzard is so clueless and out of touch I have no words...
please blizzard just uncap this stuff S4 was awesome because it was uncapped
U wont learn even after so many quit and then u pretend to listen in the last season just to continou with ur bs systems noone wants in the first season again and again.
Gunna take 17 weeks to be able to earn the same amount of valor I earned in the first 2 weeks of shadowlands season 4... How boring.
Was planning on a resub when season 1 opens until I saw this post, maybe in a few months when the valor cap is high enough to ignore then I will reconsider.
Uncapped valor is bad it increases the expected ilvl by 13 too early and too fast, shortens the season and makes all forms of pve content an absolute joke in 2-3 weeks. Lets say you are pushing +15s first two weeks (no raid), you get 2000 rating, that is 398 ilvl end of dungeon loot. By the 3rd week, with two vault opened you will be just over 400 ilvl. Now you do the same with but with uncapped valor and once you get 2000 rating no no life +2s and farm out enough valor to upgrade all your items, by the 3rd week you will be over 413 ilvl. At this point you have outgeared the heroic raid, making that content type completely irrelevant, the expected average ilvl for your pug m+ groups just went up by 11-13 item levels, anyone not having this ilvl not getting invited to anything. And yes it might feel like a punishment for 10% of the playerbase who has unlimited time to play the game but this is also very unhealthy for the season. This somewhat worked for S4 because the goal there was to gear up fast hence the short season.
I think this is good and bad. I think they should uncap it the week after the race to world first is done
A reasonable cap would be starting at 3k valor and increasing by another 3k every week.
Increase conquest caps to 700/week at least.
Imo also there shouldnt be cap on valor. There was a time in s4 to have many alts, to rotate with them on progressing mythic radis for weakers guilds.The only way to change this is spam in Game suggestions amd maybe post on forum.
