Why are Justice Heirlooms so expensive?

In Development Cataclysm Classic Beta
1

Right now the coming prepatch is converting Triumph badges to 11.58 Justice Points. This is reflected by the group finder now rewarding 23 Justice Points as a queue bonus (2 Trump badges = 23.16 Justice Points).

This means on average, the typical 3 boss dungeon will reward 57 Justice Points (3 bosses + queue bonus). Heirlooms are presently priced at 2175 Justice Points each for armour. That’s 38.15 dungeon runs for 1 Heirloom.

Presently in WotLK Heirloom armour costs 40 badges, you get 5 per 3 boss dungeon you queue. Meaning 8 3-boss dungeons for a piece.

Because it’s balanced around level 85 dungeons/heroics output of justice points, not the prepatch/level 80 content.

I remember them being stupidly expensive during prepatch back in the day too.

It’d be nice if the costs were shifted a bit but I don’t anticipate it happening.

This is dumb. 3.5k JP for a weapon? When cap is 4k? This should be adjusted, at the very least until Cata launches officially and we get more JP per dungeon
