As Season 1 of Dragonflight winds down, Blizzard Entertainment is moving forward with its decision to remove the Valor and Conquest cap in World of Warcraft. The success of Dragonflight as a World of Warcraft expansion has been in its simple direction, untethered from complex, superficial systems that bogged down previous installments such as Shadowlands or Battle for Azeroth. Though the expansion is still in the early stage of its content cycle, Blizzard's decision to focus on the things that made World of Warcraft fun has paid off remarkably well so far.

With an increased emphasis on professions and crafting, the return of Group Loot, as well as further streamlining the reward system from Dragonflight's Great Vault, obtaining and upgrading one's gear in World of Warcraft has certainly shifted to be more forgiving of a player's bad luck. One such system that emerged from Shadowlands, and inspired by Mists of Pandaria, have been the Valor gear upgrades, allowing players to take a desired item from a Mythic Keystone dungeon, and upgrade its item level by spending their hard-earned Valor points.

Since the launch of Dragonflight's Season 1, the amount of Valor a player could earn on a season was 1500 (with the number increasing by 750 per each additional week). Starting from February 14, this limit is being removed and World of Warcraft players will be able to acquire as much Valor as they need to upgrade their gear. Furthermore, the cap is also being lifted from Conquest points, the PvP equivalent to Valor points.

The decision has been met with universal praise from the World of Warcraft community, as the removal of Conquest and Valor caps will allow players to bring their alts up to speed, or incentivize them to try out new classes and specializations late in the season. Thanks to player-friendly decisions such as this, many fans are finding Dragonflight to be a refreshing change of pace, reminiscent of beloved expansions such as Legion.

With the Trading Post officially introduced to the live servers, the next content that players can expect in World of Warcraft are the Orc and Human Heritage Armor sets, coming in Dragonflight's Patch 10.0.7. According to the 2023 roadmap introduced by Blizzard, players can expect to get their hands on Patch 10.0.7 in March or April, with the larger Patch 10.1 (and Dragonflight Season 2) slated for a late spring or early summer release.
