Some interesting posts about looms and leveling.
He also has a post titled “Welcome to speed leveling in Shadowlands” I won’t list it because it has a bad word in it

It’s going to be raining poo in the pre-patch. Don’t forget to pack an umbrella.
At how many things we got in wow , this company should be hiring not firing =)) , it’s pretty obvious they can’t fix all the aspects of the game .
I want to point out that in one of those he’s complaining about heirlooms power compared to blue crafted items.
Many people have said that past heirloom nerfs were justified and I tend to agree. While I have no idea how strong they’ve used to be I don’t feel like they need to be stronger than what they are in BFA.
One of the nerfs to heirlooms in Shadowlands is actually a consequence of the level squish.
Less levels>people level up less often>people don’t outlevel their questing gear that fast>heirlooms leveling up with you is suddenly underwhelming.
The idea of heirlooms is to always be relevant while leveling, not to be prime twink gear.
Heirlooms don’t have to be stronger considering what else besides stats you get from them. So I suppose it’s a trade off you make, I don’t see the problem there.
As for the enchants, yeah thats a little weird 
In Wrath they used to have about equal stats to crafted blue gear at appropriate level. Sure, you only had chest, shoulders and maybe ring that granted exp bonus, but trinkets & weapons were already around and they sure were strong. Nerfs occurred when you could pretty much clad your alts head to toe in +exp gear so not only you were getting bonus experience but ALSO you hit like a truck.
This enchants thing though looks to me like another facepalm-worthy complete and utter failure. Shouldn’t fire QA dept xD
Heirlooms were stronger than regular items before and so what? Someone leveling an alt didn’t have to constantly change his eq, people who wanted could not use them at all, twinks got their own PvP brackets, i don’t see anything bad in heirlooms being stronger, leveling is irrelevant and now it will be even just for the sake of seeing zones as it has no impact on main gameplay. I’m not surprised people who invested to bring looms up to level 120 are upset and angry, i would too if my looms weren’t upgraded to 110 only and it wasn’t so much gold investment.
The bonuses really need to be changed. I can’t believe that after all the negative feedback they’ve received the devs still haven’t done a single change to them. Quite disappointing.
Let me just tell you a story of a time during wrath of the lich king.
I was leveling my warrior and I only had two 2h weapons that were heirlooms.
I was in the slave pens dungeon and we were near the end boss, just had to get through that last corridor. As you may know or not know, the naga sorceresses have a ability to mind control someone.
We didn’t realize it at the time and I got mind-controlled.
Well, the healer died in 2 seconds followed by all the other dps and the tank was being punched to death by the mobs.
I ended up walking next to the naga, until I was freed from the mind control and got murdered.
Comparing PvP gear and PvE gear seems a little lopsided, same for the rings.
I would prefer if they simply refunded gold and removed damn system.Not because i need that gold,i only have few looms ,it would simply be more cleaner solution imo.
