Kinda confusing the way you describe it, try to fill in more info if you want help to understand something.

If you make a premade copy on the beta, you'll notice that your arcanums have been changed to grey, poor-quality items. They're no longer usable, and say something like "a burst of magic has shattered this arcanum, rendering it useless" or something like that. Leads me to believe they're removing helm enchants you get from items.

It's mainly because Pandarens at the moment can't get the required rep for the Cata level enchants due to bugs, so rather then take them out of the premade lists, they just blew them up; just like how relics are still dropping out of instances as gray items even though they aren't usable anymore.

I don't think they will completely remove helm enchants, they have been too integral to the process of character advancement since Vanilla.
If I had to make an educated guess (emphasis on
guess
though) I'd say they may convert the BoA Arcanums to something that you purchase once and then use it to unlock the Arcanum spell for your whole account. They once said they were planning something similar for Heirloom gear, you unlock it once, and then have access to it from every character on whichever server.

They may mention it, there will be crying from the "challenge" crowdHow? It doesn't affect main characters.

if you look at the forums via the beta site the item i linked shows up as a gray and looking through the beta item lists the only helm enchants that aren't junk now are the combo leg helm enchants all the others bc wrath as well as cata are all junked seems abit odd to junk them just because some people couldn't use the free ones they got
Post by

They were junked because more then likely the new ones are going to be come out soon; Leatherworkers can make the Pandaria leg enchants now after all.

As I said farther up:

There's been a crap ton of Rep issues and quest issues in the Beta lately, so junking things that are built on rep but are unusable(except for the Therazane shoulder enchants).
It also could be that the helm enchants are going to end up with an overhaul.

This is my suspicion. I had hoped that someone had found some smidgen of info on this, that no one was even discussing it anywhere surprised me.

As I said farther upAh, you posted that 2 minutes before my post, must've missed it :)
However, I doubt they'd remove them for all characters (not everyone plays a Pandaren) just because Pandaren can't get them (yet)
There have been worse levelling problems for Pandaren than a few stats which get less relevant 86+

That was probably the other reason lol, the bolded part.

I'd have loved to see Engineering get the head enchants, honestly. Every other crafting profession gets some sort of universal enchant for players. Engineers can only make scopes, which only hunters use.
