<p>Ok i know it has been said that there are no plans at this time to make LON or SC items Heirloom.. Now with that being said..</p><p>Can we get some sort of official response as to why this actually is? If i spend my hard earned money on SC or LON items why should i not be able to use them on any or all of my characters. Its not as if LON cards arent already being traded/sold for ingame and real life money. You see LON cards on ebay all the time or for sale on the flames. Why for those of use who actually claimed our items or bought SC items are we limited to using them on only 1 toon? They provide no Stats, most are appreance items, even the mounts dont provide anything game breaking.. and the RAF mount is already Heirloom..</p><p>So can we please get a straigt forward answer as to why this isnt / cant be done?</p>

<p>Because they won't make as much money if you could just transfer the items ?</p>

<p>they give away 5 packs a month, i think those items that are recieved that way should be heirloomed atleast.</p>

If they do decide to do this, they need to put a attunable flag on them so the first time they are equipped they are locked ot that character</p>

<p>There is absolutely no reason to do it, because they basically already are heirloom. You choose what toon you want them on, you /claim them on that toon, end of story. You do realize that the heirloom items (at least the ones I have seen so far on test) are attuneable, meaning you choose what toon you want them on, you equip and attune it, end of story. The only difference is you are getting one item from your bank, the other from /claim. I don't see why people are even bringing this up at all. This is one of the more rediculous things to complain about that I have seen.</p>

Same goes for Void Shards.. HEIRLOOM.. the purpose of the heirloom tag was for this reason specifically so that you COULD use the item on multiple toons. Im not specifically speaking about the NEW heirloom items.. as those i can understand such as patterns and equipment. Im SPECIFICALLY talking about heirloom items that provide no stats, and are either mount, illusion or apperance only. </p><p>So please explain to me why..if for example i have the Fire Warg from LON.. it HAS to be tied to only 1 specific toon... it hurts no one for me to be able to pass it back and forth between my characters.. as i can already do this with the RAF mont.. IT is hurting me though becasue my fire warg is sitten on my dirge in his 50's that i dont relaly play anymore.. THe Station Cash equipment items are all no stat.. appereance items only.. so once again NO ATTUNE neccessary and who does it hurt for me to trade em on my account between my toons?</p>

<p>Mounts and void shards are not gear to be attuned.</p>

I draw the line, however, when I have limited character slots and am forced to delete that virtual clothing when I delete a character to make room for another.</p><p>If I could keep my SC armor sets and trade them around on all of my characters, I would be FAR more likely to buy several more sets instead of just the single set I have already purchased. Give me a virtual wardrobe that all of my characters can share, and I’ll fill that baby up. </p>

<p>Yep, these items are sold for real life money, so keeping heirloom tag away from em means more money.</p><p>Many people want heirloom on LoN stuff especially, but don't get your hopes up anytime soon.</p>
