Do you think Blizzard will someday sell heirlooms in the Blizzard store?

[Faladrath]

Heirlooms have been around for like, 4 years at this point. If they haven't yet, why would they start now?

And leveling has not been?

OT: Counter to their own current offer so highly unlikely to happen.

[Lochton]

No... actually, I was just about to say something else, but no.. Don't think so.

If they wished to add more heirlooms, why scrap possible content on getting/obtaining these heirlooms just so people can buy them in the store... don't think so.. Unless it is going to be silly heirlooms, but even there.. I don't think so.

(Silly heirlooms = Apron, frying pan, rolling pin)

I dont think they will ever sell gear with stats of them for real currency. But then again i never thought that they would sell instant level cap..

Definitely. WoW is already 100% p2w so it won't matter. Besides, the plan from Activision-Blizzard was to have a "microtransaction(lol)" store ingame for a very long time. You can see they approached it slowly, got the playerbase used to the idea. Added pets, then mounts, then transmog etc. Now the game is fully pay-to-win with purchaseable alts(!!) You can literally buy alt characters off the shop, with them being boosted to the max level ingame (aswell as given loads of advantages such as eq, epic flying skill, profession boosts etc)


Why would it matter if they sold heirloom gear when you can just buy the maximum level boost? The game is already ruined.

Everything will be sold in store eventually. You voted with your wallets and their greed has no limits.

[thughuggz]

they sure will be selling boa items in not so long since ya made this poll. ya just gave them the idea and the poll shows not every single player apposes this idea and they can make money from it so ya its coming soon!

This. Glad to see not everyone is a retard.

[Morgaith]

I'm almost surprised that they are not there already.

while I agree with this sentiment, why would they sell heirlooms now, when theyre selling the 90 boosts?

[McNeil]

They will sell it eventually, people just keep buying them...

[Mihalik]

Probably. To be honest it would have no effect on endgame and very little effect on the metagame.

[Psychotrip]

Stop giving them ideas.

I pay for a subscription so I can have EVERYTHING that exists in the game. I don't want to pay for anything extra just because I want it. That's what the sub is for.

There's a little bit of hyperbole here, I just can't place my finger on it...

[Mosotti]

I'm sure of it. Blizzard already has the confirmation that they can sell even real steamy shit on that store and it will sell like crazy

[Vivek]

The people who chose "No" are much too naive.

[Terahertz]

Why would they? Those who casually play WoW will have -more-than-enough- honor/justice points to buy and upgrade heirlooms. Besides that, heirlooms are usually a once in a life time purchase anyways >_>

[Irisel]

They already are, somewhere. Isn't there like a vial with 100% XP gains?

[Mormolyce]

Heirloom as in gear that assists leveling, ie with an XP boost and/or gear advantage while low level?

Don't really see the point as we have it already. And boost kind of renders it irrelevant.

Maybe for vanity, but that's really just mog gear we're talking about there.

Almost certain they will, or they must be very afraid to get something new and controversial into the shop. But after putting a fully new level 90 character in a shop, I don't really see the reason why they wouldn't let you buy heirlooms. It's almost the same as buying a new character, except it's in the form of gear and you level quicker instead of having a new character in a blink of an eye. Imo it would be stupid from Blizzard not to include those in the shop, since it's so close to the buyable level 90.
