Some people may not notice, but there is a huge difference between items that automatically get mailed to any character you have like the store armor, and actually being able to mail items yourself, across realms, It's not even comparable, so please stop bringing things like this up, all it does is bring the little haters out who all act like they know anything to do with Blizz and just make themselves look stupid lol
Exactly. This is another thing people just don't understand. They are prioritizing Blizzard store technology over other content with subscription income.
Why make cross-realm heirloom technology or more heirlooms when they can charge for an XP boost potion that is. Making 85-90 heirlooms and allowing them cross realm will just diminish profits from the store.
Players SHOULD BE PISSED.

You know what, how about you wait for 5.4 FAQ to be released before you create a post like this. Myself, I am tired of people making a thread, just to create a huge discussion about something that isn't really that important. I question this before, then it hit me, what about Virtual Realms? You are able to join same guild, use same AH and same arena team. Maybe soon mail to each other?
FOMO: "Fear Of Missing Out", also commonly known as people with a mental issue of managing time and activities, many expecting others to fit into their schedule so they don't miss out on things to come. If FOMO becomes a problem for you, do seek help, it can be a very unhealthy lifestyle..
An easy fix to this is to abolish heirlooms and set the experience rates fair enough so everyone can agree with it.
To be honest Blizzard is probably kicking themselves that they didn't make heirlooms a store item.
It would have been perfect - highly desirable yet not necessary by any means, only blue item quality so nobody can complain about Pay2Win (yet still better in terms of stats than what most players have during leveling), ...
Transferring Heirlooms would help fix the exp rate problems, but they're charging money for that now so they'd prefer not to fix it.
This is what people mean when they say the cash shop is bad even for those who don't care to use it, there's implications beyond just 'I'll buy it or I won't'.
1) The problem is the mail system.
2) You are not forced to server change, that is just a temporary solution to the problem, just level without heirlooms instead of wasting time QQing about it.
Well I am a programmer (c family of languages going on 10years now), I happen to also have alot of experience working with network code and databases, and I can tell you it's trivial.
The funny thing is even without any technical qualifications it's obvious to any person possessing common sense that it's trivial, because private servers running on MySQL and operated by "kiddies" can do that and more, it's laughable to claim that Blizzard with all its knowhow and abundance of resources can't solve problems a bunch of "amateurs" can.
Their reasons for not providing solutions are (a) they are at the bottom of the priority list regardless of feasibility or (b) they make more money out of not solving the problem.
You take your pick.
Seeing there's a store now simply list them in the store once bought ingame under a category of their own. That way you can get them on another realm.
it's not like having multiple sets of the same piece is game breaking.

They can do those, but it will require more code to make items out of thin air than just cast a spell (to summon mount or pet). Same tech used for pets and mounts will be probably applied to tabards and heirlooms someday I guess. Maybe even during next expansion finally.
Never going to log into this garbage forum again as long as calling obvious troll obvious troll is the easiest way to get banned.
Trolling should be.
Seeing as how you can send em cross-server in 5.4 cus of the Virtual Realms feature, this statement is false.
