Will tokens be needed for VP->JP gear in 4.2?

Talking about the Raid Set Gear you currently need Valor Points -OR- Tokens to exchange to acquire (unless you get them off the bosses in TB) from the Vendors in SW/ORG

Once all the current "Valor" stuff converts to Justice, will we still need the Raid Tokens off the bosses to get the set pieces currently requiring those set piece tokens? Or will they be reassigned with a Justice Point value instead?

In other words, can we buy a full set of T11 gear with ONLY Justice Points when 4.2 hits? Or do we still need some tokens?

Anything that costs Valor will cost Justice. Anything that costs Conquest will cost Honor. Nothing else changes. If the piece required an item token before, it will require one after. You'll have to down those bosses and win the tokens to purchase those pieces.

I thought the whole point of dropping gear from valor to justice was to make sure that toons who came up to 85 after 4.2 drops could get geared to do T12 content without having to run T11.

No, we expect people to run the previous tier before progressing to the next. But, as you can tell, we expect the previous tier to be fairly easily puggable both through nerfs and gear proliferation.

You'd be correct that once Tier 13 comes out we wouldn't expect new characters to need to run Tier 11 to catch up.
