DISREGARD THIS POST - IT IS NOT ACCURATE AND WILL NOT WORK

Wanted to clarify for anyone considering RAF that might have read this from the WoW RAF Benefits page

Note: Players who have an existing link from before January 22nd will continue to earn 200% extra experience. When grouped with multiple players you have recruited, your bonus experience matches the player with the highest bonus.

I had two accounts linked on 1/14 that had the old bonus, and last week pulled the trigger on 3 more to get that "grandfathered" bonus.

A-B on 1/14, then B-C, C-D, D-E on 2/5.

However - only A and B were getting the 200% bonus XP and stacking heirloom bonus. C, D and E were leveling at a rate about 4.5 times slower.

Blizzard explained they have to RAF from the same sub-account, not just within a battle.net account. So to get the bonus I would have had to hub and spoke it like:

A-B, A-C, A-D, and A-E

So if anyone has an old RAF they are thinking of adding onto - balance your decision to get the extra XP Bonus against how your granted levels will flow.
