Undocumented change from the maintenance yesterday?

Prior to yesterday's maintenance, whenever I reached the 1000 Valor Point cap, all my characters would get the "Valor of the Ancients" buff, which multiples valor gain by 50% on other characters, and this buff would always disappear on Tuesdays after everything resets.
When I logged on last night, on my one and only 90, she still had the valor buff, and the dailies were awarding me between six and eight valor points instead of the usual five. I logged on this morning quickly before work, and the buff was still there.
Did they change something and I'm just stupid?

That....sounds like a glitch. I don't think I have that still.

That's what I thought, that it was a glitch. If it's still there tonight I'll put in a ticket.

Isn't that something that you wouldn't put a ticket in for? It's like getting a questions wrong on a test and saying "Hey teacher! You missed one" :)
Or if he doesn't Blizz will go back and take all the valor he earned for the week on that toon for something they like to call CHEATING.

Well, not just that, but honesty is better in this case, too. I know I'm a jerk and all, but I'm still an honest jerk. :P

Others (including myself) experience this occasionally. The buff stays for a time after the server reset, which at this point in time is basically a free addition of valor points. Unless they fix it in 5.2, it will continue to be like this. It has been so for a time now.
Ah, interesting. I've never seen it happen, and it's always been gone for me when I've logged in on Tuesdays.

yeah, I think it has even been posted about here on this forum. It probably has something to do with server time vs your time vs pacific time... but yeah, some say it lasts for almost half a day.
I really wish the devs would think about changing it anyway. I try to pace myself on my main and cap on Monday, so I rarely get any benefit with my alts. The only way to really benefit from it is to slam VP early in the week.

I've experienced this too but only for a short time (like maybe an hour) on Tuesdays.
I wish they'd change the valor acquisition a little bit, like maybe extend the buff for two weeks. So if you get it on Monday it'll be gone by NEXT Tuesday. I am not one to complain about stuff usually and I still like WoW but valor capping as a non-raider has been a chore. My main gripe is how they changed the heroics to only give decent valor points once a day. What was the problem with letting people have 7/ a week versus one a day? Some days I cannot get on to run heroics or do scenarios or do dailies and that just means that the next time I log on I have to try to cram in that much more stuff to make sure I cap.
I'd love it if they would bring back the Cata system of first 7 heroics you do that week reward decent valor, after that it's not much. People like me who cannot play 7 days a week would have the option of knocking them out all in one day, or one a day or however they felt like handling it. I've been reduced to grinding the same golden lotus/klaxxi dailies every time I play to make sure I valor cap even though I've been exalted on 3 90s since first few weeks of MOP. With all the other stuff there is to do like pvp, pet battles and trying to level alts, capping out valor has been a serious pain in the ass and for me personally it's taking a bit of enjoyment out of the game the way they have it now.

I've noticed this every tuesday since the release of MoP that i've gotten valor cap which has been all but 2 seperate weeks. The buff stays on you Tuesday and will remain on your toon until you hearth or log off. As soon as you do one or both, the buff will be gone for good till next week. I took full advantage of it this week and did every single daily quest available to me in Pandaria and ended up with nearly 500 valor just from dailies. Also, going into scenario's, dungeon's, and or raids will also cancel this buff. So just a hint, if you want to take advanage, make sure you log out in Pandaria, i start out in s7s, and hit up all the dailies from there. Just do not hearth or que for anything or else the buff will leave.
