So, the cap was reduced to 980, which one can reach with 7x ZG/ZA, and the old raids give 35 valor on 10-man and 45 on 25-man heroic only.
WTF? Is there any reason to put an effort into doing heroic Blackwing and Bastion? To be honest I'd rather do those raids in heroic to get valor but it just seems like a waste of time. Some items are nice and come close to firelands gear but time spent does sure as hell not equal the reward. Anyone else pissed of about this stupidity? I'm sick of doing ZG and ZA over and over and we'll have to keep doing those for quick access to valor points.
Thanks Blizzard, you fucking IDIOTS.
EDIT: The major point is that Blizzard devalued raid hardmodes below ZG/ZA. No one is claiming that you should skip firelands because you can cap your valor with ZG/ZA.
