So basically, why would anyone use the upgrade feature until they are completely decked out in valor gear? Until then, it seems much more useful to just keep buying valor items, unless you really need specific stats on an item you already have and no valor item is a real upgrade for you.
Why didn't they just keep valor points for item purchases, and then use justice points to upgrade them..
