I need an Heir(loom)

     So, i'm pondering the newest idea that blizzard is instituting.  Heirloom weapons on good old Garrosh Hellscream.  Well, regular Garrosh Hellscream.  Alright, filthy evil Garrosh Hellscream.

     The loot table on Garrosh Hellscream, for the 5 people who haven't heard, drops heirloom weapons that level with you up to level 100.  So that means (A) We are getting 10 levels next expansion, and (B) this means you won't have to toss your weapon from the last boss of the expansion for a green that drops in the first area you explore next expansion.

     Now, 10 new levels is going to be a switch from the last two.  I am not sure if that means we are going to have more content to level through, or if they intend on the levels to go quicker so you get to receive more dings before you gain the level cap.  I hope the second one, as I am a confirmed alcoholic and don't want to have to work my way up through 10 long levels with all the characters I like to have at my disposal for raiding.

     It is worth mentioning that these weapons don't have an XP gain or anything that might give you an advantage on leveling other then the fact you won't have to swap out your weapon until you hit that 100 cap.  There will be little or no reason for people to rage on the forums about these... but we all know they will regardless.

      In order to get one of these weapons, you have to beat Garrosh on a level that is not LFR.  This means he has to go down on flex, normal, or heroic mode to reward you with you own heirloom weapon to wield.  So, that means your LFR only character doesn't get his toy, he has to actually go in with a planned raid, whether it be a flex-raid pug, or a 10 man normal.

      This does make me wonder what other ways could Blizzard give us for heirlooms like this?  Could instead of burning Justice Points, or gold on your next Heirloom can they make it a quest or achievement?  Maybe open up some heirlooms if you beat the first raid Tier of an expansion?  If you complete a complex series of quests?  Maybe for hitting a certain level of Achievement points?  What other ways could Blizzard give us for these things that are more engaging?

     What do you think?
