Some highlights for me:

You no longer have to clear Naxxramas to get to Sapphiron's lair. Tha means that raids will now be able to go directly to Sapphiron, and (presumably) subsequently Kel'Thuzad.

This is going to make chasing achievements MUCH easier, and gearing up fresh 80s as well.

Emblems of Triumph to be the new base emblems

This is also great news for fresh 80s, you can jump from your 80 greens and blues iLevel 174 gear, past Naxx 10 iLevel 200 gear, past Naxx 25 iLevel 213 gear, past Ulduar 10 iLevel 219 gear, past Ulduar 25 iLevel 226 gear STRAIGHT into ToC heroic iLevel 245 gear. Ready for the iLevel 271 gear in icecrown citadel.

Arctic Fur is less annoying, vendor purchased

From most expensive and rare thing, to useless vendor bought piece of crap.

Disenchant as a loot option

And much, much more.

Go click the links, go read the reports - i couldn't find a date on these though.

[Voicy]

Damn ... so my poor little rogue with his single lvl219 item is exactly that. Poor and little.

[senorblinky]

Yeah, but the kicker is, you can run heroic dungeons and upgrade that little oke in the course of a few days, not just one or two items per raid per week.

[Mugato]

I like the changes. Blizzard is starting to catch a wake up.

[senorblinky]

Blizzard has been making millions from us for a few years now.
We will take what they give us, good or bad, and live with it, because we are addicts.

[Flatty]

I ain't so addicted any more - got pwned holy by warlocks in the BG's.....fear, fear, fear, WTF?, fear, fear, fear...oh, hello Angel where did you come from?

Anyone feel like offering me a decent amount for my account, otherwise I am selling it - been offered $370 for it & that was only one the basis of Angelica, my Paladin. I couldn't be bothered to fill out the other toons?

[Voicy]

R3k ... not bad dude...that would mean you made a profit from playing wow.

[Flatty]

I don't know how you can possible call playing more than 3 months solid, 24/7 & only get R3k for it a profit, but if you say so? Never mind a year & a half of subs, bandwidth, and the actual cost of the game & the two expansions.

[Hoss]

How about buying a ton of Borean leather off AH now; waiting for the patch and then reselling it at a profit for those wanting Artic Fur? What da ya think?

[Voicy]

I don't know how you can possible call playing more than 3 months solid, 24/7 & only get R3k for it a profit, but if you say so? Never mind a year & a half of subs, bandwidth, and the actual cost of the game & the two expansions.

I'm not going to count BW, because you would've used it on playing another game anyway.

WoW = R300
TBC = R300
WOTLK = R350

That's R950

Subs = 18 x R150 = R2700

So that's R3650 that you've physically spent on the game.

18 Months = 540 days. Iow it cost you R1.20 per day to play wow.

Now ... for 18 months of enjoyment and 3 of those months being 24/7 attention ... how much prospective money did you save, which you would've spent had you gone out on a night in the town or renting dvd's or whatnot.

If it's less than R1.20, then I humbly apologize for miscalculating your relative profit.
