There is a pretty trivial way to circumvent the issue. Instead of voiding all VP from the previous PvP season, carry over just enough to reach Legionary VIII. The amount required is very low and shouldn’t have any game related side effects, the change is entirely server side without requiring a client update. The Legionary VIII rule is around to prevent daily alliance hopping for gold marks, this would still be in effect.
