At the end of a season, icons are converted to 20% value. The VP you get doesn’t apply to leaderboards, brackets and PVP season goals. Icons are mostly earned through real money purchases, so their value is hugely deflated in this process. My thoughts are if icons are only going to count towards Great General progress they should be compensated at 100% value because you are not gaining any competitive advantage.

If you are going to compensate at a lesser value, that lesser value should apply towards PvP season goals, leaderboard and bracket VP totals.

Further, you can’t cherry-pick what items you get from season pass rewards. So I don’t collect them on my main character until after I reach GG. I do this so the gold timers can be used in GAPs during vault events, which rarely occur during the first 2 weeks of a PvP season. So when I cash in my burning marks my icons already don’t apply towards GG…which leads me to a greater reason I would carry them over to another season. It would be nice if those timers were not automatically applied when obtained them and were an item to be used at a later time, especially if you will not consider 100% value compensation for icons.
