Can someone please tell me why you can't equip all the heirloom items you craft?

hello,
Basically I am wondering why it seems that you can only equip some of the heirloom items while at camp. It's driving me nuts and makes unlocking and crafting all the items pointless

Funny thing is you can equip other players heirlooms on top of your own. For example if you have heirloom gauntlets and you kill a player that has a helmet heirloom you can equip it in raid.

I'm currently trying to get my heirloom staff to some build but in my stash I have the exact same staff, a "gift" from someone else :D

hehe, i have a whole stash page exclusively for "borrowed" heirlooms, i need some items to not be partially green? i just take some of those items, they also tell me what's people generally take for their heirlooms enchantment

Sometimes i've got weird surprise like fire resist or "+6 shadow damage on weapon"
former is way too situationnal, and the latter seems quite weak in itself

Going back with what OP said, first you can upgrade heirlooms up to epic/purple, second while the heirloom type force them to have innate "+X% exp gain" instead of innate "+X life per kill" or similar you can find on "natural" magic/epic gear

Heirlooms chosen enchantments still make them quite strong, i mean imagine i can create a whole armor set with each armor giving me +6DEX and +7.2 MAX HP and +18% crit chance?
yeah, would make looting kinda hard to compete, would need like maxed rolls or perfect combinaison of enchants to make me think twice about changing stuff

Another thing OP seems to ignore, is that heirlooms can be crafted with either 2 materials of their rarity (extremely easy with heirloom still uncommon, become annoying when epic) OR using mithril tokens, how rare it is?

i dunno, ask maybe the NPC merchant who sell 100 mithril token for only 1000 gold each? and she restock like every week i think? So not that expansive to craft heirlooms back, much less than buying random gear to dismantle (10-15 mats per dismantle) and even less than buying the materials straight from the NPC merchant

Oh yeah, you're right about the heirloom being weakers. But with the choice of stats + higher quality, it still beats the grey stuff or even a white/green player. So basically, being able to wear full heirloom would just mean people starting up with their level 1, would be even more at a disadvantage playing in lobbies where most players would be full green/blue.

Anyway, I've seen the bazillions posts of OP about wanting a PvE-only experience so it's evident that suggestion comes from someone who's looking after a traditional RPG experience rather than a balanced PvPvE looter-shooter^^
