I am just curious if the whole problem is with mailing heirlooms, if Blizzard really wanted us to be able to use heirlooms on other realms couldnt it be possible that they have a system in place that determines you have those such heirlooms on another realm so you can just purchase them on the new realm? Have a heirlooms vendor accessible in SW or ORG and if the system determines you own those items on other realms you can just purchase them on any realm for free or a little bit of gold?

Your solution doesn't allow me to mail an heirloom from char A on server B to char C on server D. It just allows me to buy another copy of the heirloom with a second set of currency on another server. Currency (like JP) which I can't get, because I'm level 1.

Moving items between servers (and the back-end support tools for dealing with allowing users to do that) is probably more work than you think it is.

Framework already exists, has for a long time, but, they've stated that they want to do something weird and new with heirlooms, devs have stated they dont like doing it via mail. On top of this, lack of heirlooms on new servers keeps you on your low pop server so the server pop doesn't get any lower, so benefit would be minimal.

And if it was that easy, don't you think they'd done it already?
But let me guess, it's because they prefer payment for realm transfers, ignoring that people who find themselves in a situation where they "can't" migrate often stop playing. last time I checked people who don't play don't pay.

It is that easy. The truth is that Blizzard doesn't want to do it. They can call it "technical issues" but they are still making alot of money with character transfers of heirloom items on same account as it is. So why should they change it ? Money money money. !

It's clear you're one big Blizzard fanboy, so that's reward enough, don't you think

Cute, good ol' condescending fanboy remarks. Setting the standard high.

But don't worry, I've disagreed with many changes. I don't instantly favor everything Blizzard does. However most of the times I do agree with their reasoning. Part of the reason why that is, is that I'm into programming and game design, so I never assume that any changes Blizzard, or any other major game company, does is done on a whim.

And I'm intelligent enough to consider changes from more than my own perspective and I've found Blizzards/GCs reasoning to most of the time be logical, rational and realistic. Even when my own class or methods were nerfed. More than can be said about idiots who cannot handle their class getting balanced and feels like the best course of action is to verbally attack GC on his twitter.

I'm not talking about demanding buffs, i just want them to do their jobs better and test better. Using a calculator isn't enough, you actually need to test stuff properly and Blizzard's internal testing.....hmm, how long have you played this game?

And here we go, "they should do their jobs better". Part of the reason balancing takes ages is just that, they're sampling data from just about every part of the game. Gear levels, skill, arena ranks, bosses. high end, low end. below 90. For me that is doing their job right.

And I've kept my account active since January 2006.

You literally just ignored everything I just said.
Why would they change it? Because players who can't reroll servers may quit altogether.

I'm digging the sets.

[Allishia]

Which Hunterset ist the best ???

[BeerWolf]

Heh @ the Peanut gang off Daily Blink - that was exactly what I was thinking of when I saw the presents of this year, the pigskin football... Lucy's endless torment against Charlie Brown to kick it.

[Idletime]

I'm mostly sad I can name all those sets in the comic...

The Season 13 Hunter gear looks like they killed and skinned one of the Skeksis from The Dark Crystal.

Ohh everything is just fine and dandy, everything is just picture perfect!

"How you feel about firemages losing there raid spots after recent hotfixes
Haven't seen it happen. Some mages are able to try Arcane and Frost now though."

For starters it is Their*. Secondly, this is basically saying they did nerf Fire-Mages so that they try Arcane and Frost instead.

Um, not is isn't. What it's "basically" saying is "Now mages aren't pigeonholed into just speccing Fire." I'm not arguing for or against nerfing Fire, I'm just saying that your interpretation of what was said is wrong.

Yeah, that's totally what I've been saying.

Be a good girl and go away :3

Hard when people don't agree with your view of things. Get used to it, it's a part of being an adult!

About fire nerf: all of you who played mage in cata - you remember the feedback thread on blizzard forum we could reply to? Have you read the answers of the other players? I did. And most of posts was saying : fire is to rng but its fun to play. Arcane is too boring. Frost is cool but too weak for pve -> I understood that most of us get the best fun from playing fire and frost.
And now we get fire nerf and arcane buff. From the numbers I can see that Arcane is way ahead of frost and fire (which are more-less equal). So I only can say: thanks for reading feedback

[Freia]

uh, is it legal to rip off peanuts like that? and generate income by providing wallpaper?

pretty sure not.

/facepalm

They are generating income how? You can download it for free.

Did you not read him? There is obvious problems with them making cross-realm heirlooms that won't be solved with more people.

actually, theres a total easy workaround for that..

1. all former npcs selling heirlooms are going to stay the way they are. but, upon buying one of those heirlooms, you get an corresponding achievement (achievements=account-wide, huh?)
2. make the price for getting heirloom-"clones" 1 copper or something. and the NEW selling npc somewhere in the main cities. (of course the only obtainable heirloom-"clones" are those you already have the achievements for)
3. all already-purchased heirlooms should also grant the corresponding achievement when put on
4. this means: you buy the original heirloom for whatever points its price is. you get an achievement for doing so. you are able to buy corresponding heirloom-clones on whatever toon/server you want.

Simpler than that. You buy the heirloom, get an achievement, have it automatically sent to the first toon you create on any server. Just like with pets and mounts.

hmm. yep right. even better.
new toon, mailbox full of shiny stuff and you just need to get rid of the stuff you dont need & keep the nice ones.
also you dont need to need to visit a npc for re-buying armor you sold by accident. just create another toon on that server. me gusta much
