Expansion locking

With all the scaling and syncing that can be done now, how about choosing to lock to an expansion. The mechanics, talents, abilities, etc. remain the same (too complex to return to those at the time of the expansion). But difficulty will be like during the expansion. Plus the story line will be active again. Lock to Legion/WoD to play the full story with all its features (artifact weapons). And here is something else. If you lock yourself to an expansion, heirloom gear cannot be used within the levels of that expansion.
So lets say you want to reexperience Wrath. Create a new character. Level it with heirloom gear to level 70. At which point the heirloom gear will be unusable. Then play through the whole story.
Or, scale down a current character and other characters in the guild to level 80 to rerun raids in their original difficulty. Do you have Shadowmourne or Val’anyr ? Equip it. (Legendary items do not scale, they can only be used in the expansion they originated from, and they are still soulbound)
The same would apply to any other expansion. This would also be good for those who joined WoW at a later expansion so they can experience what they missed.
