BoA/Heirlooms - Solution
This topics is posted probably once a month since the release of the items, I wanted to share an out of the box solution that was a part of a reply to a similar topic. This may cause some disagreement at first but if this is the only way to fix a problem/concern and give subscribers what they want, why not.
Considering the features you're opening up for Diablo 3, with Bnet balance, please consider this.
1. If BOA's were something obtained via Battle.net instead of only in-game (lets say you get said achievement that opens up the Bnet account, like when you buy a mount or pet from Bnet) or use the in-game tokens/points to unlock something on the Battle.net account.
2. Make the BOA a pet or something similar in nature instead of armor pieces, or something even cooler a glowing effect like enchants around me <insert screenshot of a character having a complete Diablo 2 green set>. I'm just thinking outside of the box, as EVERYONE would rather have the exp boost vs not having to farm for armor. (I believe all dungeons give armor loot for the quests and pre-lvl 60 you get an armor piece per random) This pet could augment the armor stats your wearing if that is a concern from a Bnet company standpoint.
3. This way the exp bonus items are no longer limited by server but generated by account and a pet is something Blizz is already able to distribute. Obviously the pet/mount or glowing effect would change as you obtain more exp bonus' but just a realistic solution.
-OR a long shot, for those who want to share heirlooms cross realm, charge me said fee less than $10 to enable this pet/glowy thingy.
