Just a thought about a Legendary

[MCMLXXXII]

Why not make a legendary that scales up while you are levelling( or takes your itemlevel average). This would make an item truly Legendary. As soon as there is another dungeon/raid which drops better Epics, they could make the legendary stop dropping from it's original source.
What do you guys think?

Let the flaming begin!

This idea is new and original.
Not.

No, that would make it a heirloom.

[Vober]

Yeah... Just as Rogge said. That would be an Heirloom.

They had a question about this in the recent Twitter dev chat thing... and no they aren't going to do it... they like cycling out items and having it so people don't feel like they have to go back to do the old content just to get a certain legendary...

No, that would make it a heirloom.

No it would be a heirloom when it is BoA.

From the front page:

Q: Any chance the Legendary items will grow stronger as players level up as heirlooms? Its too much work, just to ditch after a patch.
A: This is something we have talked about a great deal. One of the concerns about making a weapon “best in the game” that scales up, is that players will continue to do old, outdated content in order to obtain the weapon. This ends up being not very fun for the other participants. While obtaining a legendary weapon is an incredible accomplishment, it is important cycle out weapons on a somewhat regular basis to make sure players are always playing new content.

Maybe an eventbased weapon or something.

so instead of doing naxx, you would have rather had every level 80 rogue do sunwell every week?
sorry, but I don't see how that would make the item more legendary. Epics aren't epic or rare anymore either. You must have noticed?

I got another idea.

A legendary fairy flying next to me, spreading magical dust over me increasing my ap/sp with 1000 stacking over 9k times. That's how it is at lvl 1, it scales with level. Also, it resses me instant and it scares away the troll.

Your thought have been talked over and over again. No, TF won't be a 258 item.
