Does anyone know if legendaries will ever be like heirloom items? As in, it takes so long to craft them for most people, and by the time many have them crafted, the next content is being released, so why not have the item scale with player level? Also, if i did the work to attain a legendary item, i would always want it displayed to show my hard work, not just get it for one new content release, then throw it into the bank...

They've answered that in the past, and the answer was basically "no". The slightly longer version is that since legendaries are all weapons, and weapons are the coolest upgrade you can get, they don't want to give people a weapon they'd use forever since it'd then remove the fun of getting an upgrade.

Hopefully at the very least they won't put any more Legendaries on the last tier of an expansion... doing it that way basically means you never really get any use out of it, since by the time you complete it you have the raid on farm. (Assuming they continue the farming shards model.)
