VP will turn into JP. JP over cap will probably be like the emblem to JP conversion, where they'll give you a little while to spend your excess (while not being able to earn extra) but then reimpose the hard 4k limit and convert extra to gold shortly after the patch.
Though it's possible they may just skip allowing you to have over 4k, I don't see what the reason would be. People that have enough VP+JP for it to be a problem already have access to buy VP gear, and wouldn't be the ones to buy full sets of old VP gear on patch day... and even then, why would that be an issue?

Ok...so effectively that would mean that come 4.1 the COMBINED value of your VP and JP would be available for 356 (think that is ithe right number) item value wear. Is that right?
and THAT would mean.....
Very limited value in continue to grind out your VP from daily heroics - especially if JP capped. If you are a "jack-of-all-trades" better to invest that time into PvP or alts. You are investing 1 to 2 hours (if you unluckily get H DM) in grinding out for 70 points that will soon be converted into your JPs.
I guess back to grinding out CP ;-)
Gear has always been like that. You could basically always say ´why grind out the best gear now, I will just wait until it is more easily available in a few months´. If you really are a jack of all trades, then it probably is better to put together the honor/jp offset and pvp set then it is to absolutely grind all the valor points you can.
Also, your definition of the word ´soon´ isn´t well defined. Cata has been out less than 3 months, there is probably another month until 4.1 comes... that is a significant amount of this teir still to be played.

Nothing has said so far that anything will be lowered. What they are doing it seems if offering epics from the new hc's instead of giving you free raid gear. After all this is not Wrath.
Dude, they said that's how it will work when they announced the system.

Mind, it's not the entire Valor list of items that will be downgraded; only the previous Tier items, in this case, the three T11 pieces.

Are you sure? I thought they were moving down all the current valor pieces to JP pieces, because what's the point of having non top tier gear for the points you get from the top tier raids?
I thought I read somewhere it's only certain items....could be wrong, and if someone is on the PTR that is reading this thread, care to verify the info for us?

I'm really wondering what they'll do with the BoE valor boots. will be interesting to see the influx of fresh 85s in all greens with epic boots.
yeah, the boe boots will be interesting because if they bump down to JP, they will really make the herb.ore.cloth vendor they just added obsolete.
I also wonder what will happen to the cost of the current JP stuff. They can´t bump down the epic stuff and and have them cost the same as blues on the same vendor.
In any event, anyone who thought Cata was going to be different than wotlk was mistaken. Heroics are already very easy with moderate players. After 4.1, those same players will be blowing through heroics in record time and have full epic gear. I don´t really care though, I liked wotlk.

I don't see what the difference is, nor why it's a problem to anybody.
