The cap is not only to stagger content but also to protect the average player.Season 4 i was fully 12/12 week 2 sitting around 300 ilvl. Lots of players had really high gear because of this 'ilvl inflation' caused by uncapped valor. People that always played their few hours a day/week couldn't find a group for anything. I saw Heroic raid groups requiring ilvl higher than heroic raid gear, what makes no sense at all.
Arguments for capped valor:"Protect the "normal" player from endless farming" Time is limited, nothing is endless, normal people do not play 18 hours a day, you don't want endless farming in your preferred content? Too bad, you can farm raids on as many alts as you have until you're blue in the face. What? Too much work? Well. well. well. You can grind endlessly but you chose not to. How about that..."People just want to be fully geared day 1" Fully $%^&tier than heroic item level geared AT BEST, IF and only IF you can clear +19-20s day 1, if you are playing at that level you DESERVE to have that &*!@ty set of gear."M+ players just want to have more than raiders" Raiders have access to a full tier set of higher ilevel heroic and mythic gear depending on their skill level, time and number of alts day 1. M+ rely on already time gated catalyst system (starts on January 23 to get tier, and weekly vault luck, You don't know how M+ gearing works and your opinion should be discarded."People would be fully geared in a week and quit" The best M+ gear comes from the vault, which is already capped at 1 a week, shared with raid and PVP. M+ players can only get tier gear from the vault capped weekly and the catalyst capped weekly and starting late next month. Raiders will definitely have a full tier set WAY BEFORE M+ players. Why aren't you more worried about raiders getting gear and quitting the game?Arguments for uncapped valor:- You don't feel like you set every valor point on fire and dump it into the local water supply every. single. time. you upgrade *!@#ty early M+ gear you know the nearest vendor will love you for. Picture you are stomping on a cute little endangered animal every time you hit that upgrade button. Fun. Blizzard has changed. Really.- You will have more tanks/healers in the M+ pool because they have something to gain from running more dungeons.
Again? What's the point
