I was distracted looking at some tmogs and then remembered there’s all the tauren heritage sets and thought it would be pretty fun to make a totem themed set for my HMT warrior, but then discovered I can’t pick up the quest cos I race changed NE > HMT a while ago, so now I can’t access the HMT heritage set at all, sad. [1]
I already have chars in every class so have little inclination (or time…) to level another char from scratch just to get heritage armor then forget all about it. AFAIK the purpose of the level restriction was to restrict access to the heritage armor sets at the time they were released but that seems pretty pointless now.
Please remove the level restriction to access the heritage armor quest so I can run around on my HMT warrior bonking mobs with giant totems in style, thank you.
or just remove the restriction on race changed chars or whatever
The heritage sets for “core” races are less restrictive[2] that for allied races. I think that’s why you get to run round in your heritage armor and I just have to feel sad.
Core Races don’t have the requirement of leveling from scratch because their hertiage armors were added years after the race was added and that would be unfair to people who boosted or race change 10 years ago. Instead they require reputation.
I understand the rationale but I think it’s a pretty arbitrary distinction. Obviously locking heritage armor for chars that people levelled years ago would be dumb but if you race change that’s basically what happens to you anyway: I levelled my warr years ago and race changed to NE in WOD then HMT with X-faction at the end of SL and now heritage armor is locked for it.
