Interesting change that was mentioned in the Zam youtube interview peice was that there will be no more valor point gear but that vp's will be used to upgrade the stats on your existing gear.

Will be interesting to see how this plays out for instance grinding when we can't just overgear the instance to beat them.

Also not sure how possible gold medals in challenges will be for the majority of boxers (myself especially) when it's a similar issue brought about by the gear normalisation.
