They won’t. They’ll probably come up with some hideously expensive consumable that you have to grind for the privilege of buying repeatedly with tokens.

Dear Geebus…PLEASE let them replace it with a Rep buff…

That had more to do with Reforging being completely removed from the game, I’d wager.
Of what use will a rep buff be for most leveling zones?
Thanks for clarifying, but I’m still a little confused. Are you saying what benefit do heirlooms provide if not an xp buff?
And this matters why? It still wont be the items that I went and got, then grinded to upgrade.
No, dear. I used my REAL time to grind the gold needed to buy those Heirlooms. I’ve never once bought a Token to sell either so don’t even try that.

I bet they “thought” about pathfinder too.
And well…you know.

The benefit is the xp. What is the issue if the XP bonus remains?
Because you literally just said the problem wasn’t that other people are getting the same bonus. If they buffed heirlooms by 40% would you be complaining that they aren’t “the items that I went and got?”
It’s fine to think other people shouldn’t get the same bonus as you, just admit that that’s your real point.
I just got the stupid booty bay ring [anger noises]
Yep, and I stand by that.
Nope, they would still have the buff that was the draw of them. Try again. that is if the buff is the xp
Everything in this game is a temporary item and you don’t own any of it. You used fake currency to unlock access to pixels that are going in the recycle bin at some point.
The issue, I’d guess without being a developer, is that they’re basically just giving that buff to everyone, because for all intents and purposes everyone already has it. So if they compensate by taking the buff from ‘everyone’ and keeping it the way it is by only applying it to ‘pretty light blue text’, would that solve the problem?
The xp buff is faster levelling. You’re getting faster levelling by default. If they made it so you could keep the text, would there no longer be an issue?
Can I at least get a player house to mannequin my heirlooms?

Based on wording I’d say it’s not guaranteed, but I imagine it’ll be something like that and doubt they will leave us high and dry.
This also gives them an opportunity to expand on more heirloom slots without worrying about leveling speeds getting even crazier because that seems to be what halted them from rounding out the sets with boots, wrists, etc.
The general tone of the SL leveling updates is everything is faster than it currently is even with heirlooms so it’s not necessary when SL launches. If they fail to deliver on the speed aspect they by all means grab your pitchforks, but people are seeing one chunk of info and assuming the whole system is getting borked.

That’s what GD does. Time after time, no matter how often they end up being wrong.

People lost millions on corrupted gear that later got nerfed, they didn’t get their gold back, neither should you.

You didn’t answer the question. You danced around it. What would be the issue if the xp bonus remained on top of the leveling changes they are making?
They’ve reduced the leveling experience before and didn’t remove the xp then. How is this any different?
You can keep the snarky comments please and thank you.
So you baught them for the increased xp and faster leveling? something that is still going to be available as leveling is made faster across the board in shadowlands allready? So… why are you upset?
It’s called a balance change, people are allready getting much faster leveling, which is designed around compleating 1 expansion. The whole point of this change is so players can experiance 1 story as they level, throwing in heirloom xp boost ontop of this global xp compleatly undermines that goal.
Currently xp gain has ened up being balanced around heirlooms, it was easier to just give everyone that boost naturally and balance it around that with everyone on a level playing field.
