Hello.

Please note that you will not be able to upgrade items that dropped before patch 9.0.5.

While we have technical reasons for this, we also want to avoid the feeling that you should go through months of item history and stuff your bags and your bank in preparation for this.

In-game, items that can be upgraded will be clearly labeled as such.

Comment by sorrowdemonica"Good news everyone, world of waitcraft is still as unrewarding as ever!

You complained about gear so now you get a gear reset! The last 2 months of gear acquisition were for nothing!"Comment by Aerolite08The item restore tool is now a 7 day cooldown, way down from like 60 days or something.

It's not going to help in this case but it's something I noticed while looking at it for this reason pre-clarification (because they're not good enough at what they do to state things properly in one go).Comment by SarthoriusThe "technical" reason being they want to get more play time out of us. What a joke.Comment by RobberzzNot much loot drops in dungeons now, so having to re-loot the items people spent awhile trying to get (If they have gotten them) seems.. rough.
But, looking forward to the Valor points in general. Just not so much regrinding to get the same items. :/Comment by Ceredalirha, stuff my bags of loot that doesnt drop. that's hilarious.Comment by KhetumPeople don't realise it is a nightmare to code such a system and make it backwards-compatible, while also ensuring you don't have half your player base recovering 2-month old items massively and dealing with potential gamebreaking upgrades thst you would get if a big slips in. Do you want this system in 9.0.5 or do you want it by mi-octobre? Make a choice coz u can't have both...Comment by officialvarghBuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu tip: guys get your alts to lvl 60 free m0 boosts incComment by officialvarghPeople don't realise it is a nightmare to code such a system and make it backwards-compatible, while also ensuring you don't have half your player base recovering 2-month old items massively and dealing with potential gamebreaking upgrades thst you would get if a big slips in.

GG no need to play until the patch now (aside from 1-2hrs a week for vault potential lol) This system should have launched with the pvp season to be honest..Comment by SkjoldurPeople don't realise it is a nightmare to code such a system and make it backwards-compatible, while also ensuring you don't have half your player base recovering 2-month old items massively and dealing with potential gamebreaking upgrades thst you would get if a big slips in.

GG blizz, and the "technical issues" also kept you from letting us add corruption to old items; that sure didn't last long.

This is stupid.Comment by SgtGrumblesWhy.Comment by flamestorm"Please note that you will not be able to upgrade items that dropped before patch 9.0.5."

If you do this, you can 100% sure you loose many subscriber. I explain why.
Mythic+ players, who DO NOT raid, DOES not do pvp stuck on an certain gear level now. After 6 six week I didn't get any usable gear from vault. I had to choose sygia.
Than you bring this valor system which could be answer. I farm out my BIS gear with hard work from Mythic plus runs, because no valid vault loot.. and NOW you say that I can start over the farming. Congratulations.

"..also want to avoid the feeling that you should go through months of item history and stuff your bags and your bank in preparation for this."
That what player who ONLY player mithyc+ do. Others who also raid and pvp will NOT do that because they have the gear what they wanted.

If you don't change your mind me and many other mithyc+ player will NEVER play wow again.
