I have seen quite a few posts made by people who received heirlooms they did not want before the patch introducing heirloomshards was released.
I received the bloodhound heirloom about a week before the patch and was apalled when I woke up the day that the patch was released without receiving any heirloom shards.
Maybe they could give all players who received heirlooms before the patch 150 heirloom shards in exchange for the heirloom they received, that way the could buy the one they want.
I do hope they implement this.
