Anyone know how exactly the vp item conversion will work after 5.2?

Since this expansion has changed how getting the valor gear works, what makes you think it will even be down graded? Personally, I hope they don't downgrade it so that you still have to work to earn your gear until in LK and Cata where it was given to everyone for pretty much logging in..

As in, the items which now cost vp being converted to costing JP instead? I read something yesterday or the day before which sort of gave me the impression that the current VP items may not be downgraded to JP. Has Bliz officially announced anything on this or are we just to assume that they will be downgraded as usual?
The last thing I read seemed to say to me as well that VP items will stay VP in 5.2, and even beyond, and that Blizzard was looking for us to gear up in Raid Finder.

Yeah, I am pretty sure the intent is that VP will not be downgraded this expansion. What really is the point since there isn´t going to be much new VP gear to buy and really, get the rep to buy it will take awhile anyway.
I also think the devs don´t even know you. GC recently commented that they decided (rather recently) that 5.2 gear would not be upgradeable with VP.. Seems like they are really not sure what they are doing yet.
They did flub VP and JP gear at launch, especially JP requiring rep, but also having ALL the VP gear be at Revered was a bit bad also.

People would stock VP, so no. Even if the VP gear requires some rep, you'd still have to farm the VP again.
And if you still had 3k VP, you wouldn't earn more VP until you reached the required rep to buy something (and spend VP on something from that tier) so that's not a good thing either.

I'm not sure I get what exactly you mean by this or what exactly you are replying to. vp pts always get converted into jp when Bliz down a downgrade with old vp items.
'tis true.

I read the speculations in this thread as being about VP not being converted ("downgraded") to JP >_<
I'm sorry.
.
Well, I guess they could do that until new 5mans push the boundaries of gear obtainable outside of raids, and as 5.2 doesn't introduce new dungeons... but when they'll do new ones, current VP gear will cost JP, I bet.

Zarhym only said there wouldn't be new dungeons in
5.2
, not that there won't be any new dungeons during 5.X

We are talking about 5.2 read the thread title. Not 5.x
