Cataclysm Classic
Heirlooms were supposed to be auto-updated to scale to 85 once the raids were released, but only the guild purchased back and head slot ones were properly updated. The rest are still only scaling 1-80.
This was the case back in original Cataclysm. Only the head and cloak heirloom scale to 85 while the rest of the heirloom pieces scale only to 80. I believe this is working as intended.
It is working as intended. MoP Patch 5.2 let you upgrade all other heirloom slots to 85.

they said at first raid
They said the heirlooms that are MEANT to be 85, which are only the guild heirlooms. This is working as they said it would.
it was a response to just the helm and cape if you look closely.
No, because helm and cloak already go to 85. They said all heirlooms after the first raid was released would go to 85. 3 content patches have come out now. Firelands is out now. All looms should have been upgraded to 85.
literally not what they said at all. Heirlooms that are MEANT to be 85. I.e helm and cape. We got the helm and cape right on time. Your upgrades…arent a thing until MoP. Never were and never will be. This is the qoute from the very link u posted please read In original Cataclysm, level 85 heirlooms were tied to guild perks. To obtain those heirlooms, players were required to join a guild and boost it to guild level 10, which was meant to be a significant barrier to obtaining them.
In Cataclysm Classic, we chose to make heirloom rewards much more available to players, and since our intention is not to have level 85 heirlooms available during the initial 80-85 leveling, we’ve capped heirlooms at level 80.
When the first raids open, heirlooms that are intended to max at level 85 will be increased to level 85.
helm and cloak, until mop are the only guild heirlooms. REREAD AGAIN.
