Will they reset VPs with 5.2?

Hi,
What do you think?
I think that any time they change the prices on something, they always reset so that people won't be tempted to save up and buy at the new prices. So, with 5.2 having 50% off 5.0 Valor pieces and 25% off 5.1 Valor Items, I'm presuming they will reset VP.
Agree?
Cheers.

Probably not, only on new x-pacs
No. They reset it for every new tier.
Lanky: My guess would be yes they will along with conquest.

Did they reset in 5.1?
And, the reason they reset before that, was that you could buy Tier pieces with Valor. Now that you can't, that is not a reason to reset VPs any more.
Cheers.

Tier no longer being bought with valor is irrelevant, they were as much outdated as any other item bought with valor from the same time when you could. There's still plenty of items you can buy with valor currently. Since item upgrades are taking a vacation I'm assuming that when 5.2 hits there'll be new valor gear more closely matching ToT drops in power.

How is Tier not bought with Valor irrelevant?
What they used to do was:
Bring out a new Tier - that Tier costs Valor. Make the old Tier cost JPs. Convert all VPs to JPs so that your currency could buy you exactly what it could before the conversion.
And, you're just wrong on what's happening in 5.2. 5.1 Valor gear will cost 25% less Valor, and 5.0 Valor gear will cost 50% less Valor.
That's why it's a bit up in the air about a reset. If they want the same result as previous patches, they should really halve the amount of valor people have, or something, and not convert it to JPs.
Cheers.

@Hamandeggs: There's as much to buy for JP now as it was at the equivalent point in time during Cataclysm, except the blue JP gear then were the same item level as blue heroic drops. More if you count upgrading items with JP.
@lankybrit: It's irrelevant because there wasn't any fundamental difference between tier and other valor items of the same item level. The decision to remove tier from currency vendors was made because Blizzard felt it should be more closely associated with raids, not because of anything related to the relative value of currencies.
Edited previous post, comments relating to valor items still valid. I'm guessing it comes down to whether Blizzard agrees with you or not on whether VP hoarding would be a problem.

I too am wondering this, and hoping Blizzard will clarify this shortly, so I know what to do with my Valor.
The reason they downgraded it in the past was because they didn't want people to instantly be able to purchase 1-2 of the new pieces the day the patch hit. I think that makes sense, and I don't see why their stance would've changed.
That being said, since the current VP gear isn't going to be downgraded to JP, it would be a very bad decision on Blizzard's end to downgrade VP to JP, as 99% of the playerbase has no use for JP items.
