Personally I haven't been touching my level 90 toons but now I need to start grinding heroics so that I can upgrade 1 (hopefully I can make and send a second as well) BOA stave and my umbrella of chiji and my quilen statuette. The NPC will be gone but existing upgrades will stay in the game.

If I could upgrade any item, not just upgradables, I would be be happy about it. But the staged items is just stupid

I think it only works for the staff from Archaeology and stuff like that. Not sure about the other BOAs from guild merchant etc.

It only works for purple and blue boas (staff, umbrella, trinket, and the two handed axe I think is the fourth one). 1500 jp to upgrade the blues, 750x2 vp to upgrade the inscription staff.

This change is quite dumb and upgrading should have never been implemeneted int he first place. I like that upgrading is being removed but not the fact that gear that is upgraded isnt being reduced. Adding the changed that malev gear will be reduced from 483 to 476, People who are in full malev with 2/2 upgrade are not going to have their gear ilvl reduced, only further enlarging the gap between honor and conquest gear. #thestruggle

Then they will prob put upgrading back in 5.3 if it doesn't have a raid tier... stupid system

They said they will put it in for patches that do not have tier upgrades.

They should just get rid of it all together atleast for pvp gear... They've made MOP pvp horrible for anyone who starts mid season / rerolls.

More like every expansion breaks pvp, and when they get their shit together they release the next xpac talents and make it unbalanced again.

You hear this cry from both sides. The grass is always greener. The only problem I have with this next patch is that a few of my bread and butter spells are getting nerfed into the dirt. I wouldn't mind if I never got the spells in the first place, but once you have them and develop a play style around them, the thought of retooling makes me want to change specs or just quit playing that toon altogether.
