i thought that heirlooms was only removed from the store and not from the game :/
i mean, removing heirlooms from the donate store is only logical when you want a competitive realm, but removing them in game is just alt unfriendly
why where they removed anyways?
i think they where added when wotlk was released as well, not mid expansion.
and why is there pvp heirloom but not pve heirloom?
I asked this question a while ago to get an official answer and was quoted that it is very unlikely that Heirlooms will be in the game at all.
Which is definitely not Alt friendly. I agree.

"No, we won't remove the ability to get Heirlooms in-game as far as I know, and if we do it will be a decision up to the Administration.
I won't even bother with the "Blizz-like" part. "
That post was in november... I guess its still undecided if heirloom gonna be available or not.
It makes no sense why its not in the game. If its to avoid twinks being too overpowered i can understand "slightly".
however that could easily be fixed by tweaking the stats they give. I dont mind having a a reduced stat item with experience bonus honestly.
Twinks are always OP compared to non-twinks.
Heirlooms are important to make some classes competiv in certain brackets.
Heirlooms are a nice addition to the Game. I cant read those "its hardcore" any longer.
Nothing to do with hardcore to disable features that make the game more fun.
Reduce gold or xp or reputation as a penalty for dying. That would make the Game tougher.
Increase mobdamage overall or some stuff that really turns wow into a challenge. Dunno. But dont remove cool features. It doesnt make the game experince hardcore.
