Q u o t e:
He said that there are no plans to extend the experience bonus they give past level 80...
Our answer was always steadfastly "We have no current plans for this" when asked about Faction change, too. It's true the items do say 1-80 in-game currently, but they may simply be showing the current minimum and maximum levels in the game.
However, it may well be that the tooltip remains true once the expansion launches. It would be a shame if there was a feeling that everyone either everyone
had to have the heirlooms to get through to 85 that little bit faster, or for us to extend the experience needed from 80-85 by 20% in the assumption that somehow
most people had the Heirlooms.
Let's wait and see what happens. Until the plans are
much clearer, or the expansion is actually live and we're able to see how the Heirlooms work in it, I'd personally be a bit cautious in buying experience boosting Heirloom items in advance, just for the hope that they do work from 80-85.
