You can only earn a certain amount each week now… Whats up with this?
I’m wondering this too
“Capping for the Week”
Participation for rewards used to be a seemingly rewards-focused or ‘Checklist’ style, where if you’d already earned your daily or weekly goal for the week, or perhaps the Limit of conquest points during the time in which it was a currency, you had nothing else to play for but rating. This is being thrown out for a system that rewards those who play, as the conquest “limit” is not there***, and as long as you keep playing, you will earn your rewards in due time.
For those who are limited on time, there remains a way to gain additional rewards for/based on weekly performance, in the form of the War Chest. These can be found in the PvP hub areas of either the Dueler’s Guild of Boralus or Mugambala in Zandalar. The rewards for this are similar in regards to the Mythic+ chest system, where earning Conquest points will (at the end of each week) give a reward in the chest the following week. The game will always choose the highest bracket That you have played games in for the week when deciding what rewards you’re eligible to earn. Blizzard has said they intend to have higher earners of conquest able to bypass the lower level of gearing based on their rank, and this may carry over to the chest as well-- but we’ll get into that shortly…

So i don’t understand..
It’s dumb how there’s a points “limit” each week, they should change it so any points earned past the 500 mark simply “roll over” and accumulate.
Bad design when I have 480/500 conquest points, somehow get 100 conquest points and… poof… the 80 extra points just disappear

There’s always been a weekly limit so players don’t grind out a full set of conquest gear on the first day of the new PvP season.
Later on, if you’ve fallen behind on conquest caps, they let you catch up.

You must be post-WOD huh bruv? Though you are right, there has not always been a cap to limit you from gaining full sets through mindless grinding. This is a more recent thing in WoW history.
Always been like this at the beginning of the season. You can only cap 500 each week.
Correct. Always been a limit. I don’t agree with it, but it’s been there.
You’re only allowed 1 peice of 445 loot per week because otherwise you might catch up to PVErs ilvl.

Some days when I’m in a bad mood I like to think of what would happen if raiders had our gearing system. I imagine they’d be a little angry at having to grind points for three months just to grind more points again.

Dat transmog… 
Eh… Except the current conquest gear is super basic. As has been pointed out before it’s “welfare gear”. Essentially just old honor gear. That was entirely grindable. When it scales up unfortunately it’s probably better than old honor gear though.
They want you to keep playing the RNG lottery though. So the beginning of the season is just like everyone else. Pray and hope for the right item. Then pray and hope for the right corruption!

First round of conquest gear is 445 ilevel. (Equivalent to Normal Ny’alotha raids.)
Second round of conquest gear is 460 ilevel. (Equivalent to Heroic Ny’alotha raids.)
That’s hardly super basic or “welfare gear.”
Or are you guys already vendoring 445 ilevel items?

Yes normal raids is pretty basic though? Kinda like old honor gear of old was. Conquest gear won’t really be “good” until it scales up. 440 is what a lot of people were pre patch.
I dunno, just miss grinding old honor sets. Having to wait every week for an honor set gear is pretty meh.

Yep. It would help with alts also if there was a rollover allowance.
Is blizz afraid a couple weeks ‘in advance’ 445 conquest gear is gonna let too many get ahead of the raiders? lol

Also, we are getting emissary quests for 445 gear too, so another reason to have some rollover..

I’m finding, even on alliance, capping takes at most 2 days. I always do the PvP conquest quests which absolutely blow but it help and learn the routes of the chest drops, that’s effortless conquest.
This toon was capped on Wednesday with no world chest drops. Only random BGs and skirmish. It’s damn near too easy.

There is a roll over just not the first week…
Not last I saw. Did they change something?
Every week after the first you can cap more than once.
