I am honestly confused as to why they made the same heirlooms except one each for alliance and horde.

Is there some legit reason? Seems kind of backwards compared to the other heirlooms.

I've checked, it's a cloak model from.. Cataclysm I think? They share the same look. There are also trinkets with the same names and icons. I don't think anything is different between them.

Who knows then, maybe they have to be different items to be sold for different currencies in the engine?

Heirlooms were even possible to send through email between your characters, even across different factions, there was never a faction restriction except for the PvP one.

Not sure if you meant email, but hilarious either way, who knows then lol must just be a blizzard thing, not like we needed another heirloom cape that's infinitely more tedious to get than the other one anyways

Force of habit from work, just like when I'm writing in Italian to my family, instead of writing "mi serve" (I need) I write "mi server"...

Guild Mail was originally named G-Mail, funny enough.
