Heavensward Not a System Time Buy? How?

They've already stated that item data* will be provided to non-expac owners and if you logout in an expac area and try to login on a non-licensed device (platform, PS4/PC/PS3/Mac), you won't be able to login to that area you logged off in (can't login/get login error).

*Item Data being gear, job appearances, consumables, etc.

Could you please link me to the info, I can only seem to find info about it from third party gaming news websites. And what will happen with the expansion items if I log into a nonlicensed device, will they completely stop working?

I suppose I should have expected this much from SE after they set the price for a PSP game that's almost a decade old to $59.99...

Thanks for the link, still confused as to whether or not the items will continue to function on non-licensed platforms. I guess now this is just a thread about how making multi-platform users buy the same game/expansion over and over is pretty lame, not that anyone cares.

I'm looking for some of the posts made; but I know that they said somewhere that item data would be provided to non-expansion owners since people with the new jobs will be playing in original areas too. "expansion items stop working" -- I really think this is more focused on the accessible areas, I don't think the items will just stop working. Just like you can sell new items from the expansion on the market board and a non-expansion player can buy and use them.

I updated the my first post above with the comment about the login/logout point between a expansion licensed device and a non-licensed one.
