They changed the fishing cursor to a hook. The fish was fine. The hook is larger and more annoying.
They readded the puff of smoke when you dismount and mount. It's gray and ugly. It's not timed right so it puffs after you've already been dismounted a few seconds.
Serious changes I know. Who'd they waste pay on for those changes?

Stupid and worthless:
- there are no ropes when vanessa dies (last boss in dm) - but she still blows up - I guess you have to jump off the ship and run all the way back around (clear path up thru fire now) to loot. My group got one-shot...we kinda figured the warning that popped was an error since there were not ropes - but kablamo!
Undocumented changes:
- can no longer fight croc boss in city from statues (figured it was an exploit and was gonna get changed, but no mention) - invis walls prevent you from getting near the statues
- can no longer jump down in first phase of the dream on vanessa - fire hits immediately and you'll likely cook when you jump (I'm not sure I'd call this an exploit, more of a design flaw, and it should've been mentioned)

I know, best.change.ever. lol
They also fixed the audio issues I was having. Audio would break up and sound crappy when lots of sounds were playing. Underwater sounds got really messed up. The audio sounds amazing now for some reason, lol.
They also fixed the annoying Blacksmith items that were equipping wrong and the consolidate buffs option that would keep reverting and stuff like that.
I like the new Cinematic pop up window. Nice touch.

Goblin Zeppelin Masters who are marked as Horde faction will no longer cause Alliance players to lose neutral goblin reputation if killed.
This was somewhere on the priority list?
Many holiday decorations have been updated to better align with the post-Cataclysm world. In addition, decorations should be visible in all Stormwind quest phases, and have returned to Gadgetzan. Party on, dudes!
Good thing they fixed the holiday graphics and forgot to update the holiday quests for Cataclysm.

Sometimes there are bugs or problems that are simple to fix, so you mind as well take the 10 seconds to change a value in the database. It is kinda cool small things get some attention at times. I know many times there is some small annoyance that I wish were fixed, but know will probably not happen because as you state - priorities.

I wish they'd change back to the old BG is ready pop-up. The recent change to where the pop-up goes 'bong!' like 3-4 or times loudly, plus the goddamn popup won't go away until you minimize it 3-4 times if you aren't ready to enter that very second.

Ok GOOD - I thought I was going insane becuase I know hear much more ambient sound from my rear channel speakers. Was wondering it they did anything there...
Also - does anyone know if they changed anything with the random BG queues? On my Horde toon, the waits went down significantly. Some people were trying to attribute it to "more people playing PVP" - which I am discounting. Any ideas?

Patch day, lots of class changes.
"more people playing PVP" is the correct assessment. Give it a week, it'll be back to normal.

This may be under the "not paying attention" catagory on the dev side more then anything. They changed the quests in Tol Barad island to always give 6. The problem is, even when you get the 5, you still get 6 commendations. The days that people get 5 are the days you have to kill "Tank", which awards 2 commendations for a total of 6. The same amount you would get on a 6 quests day.
I also thought it stupid to up the cost of conquest weapons. I understand their intention was to try and discourage people from using the pvp sets for pve. However, the stats on them didn't change (that I noticed) and increasing the cost only makes it take a week longer to get the weapon oO.
They put the honor heirloom vendor in org (and I'm assuming stormwind or some other ally city as well.) This pretty well assures the demise of wintergrasp though (at least on my server.)

Hmm, I just did one and gained a skill in cooking. The quest journal still even says you gain cooking skill. Maybe you were either capped or at the max level on your toon when you turned it in? I know I forgot to train the next level of cooking once and lost the skill point.

Teh took the fun out Throe of hte Tides. You used to be able to mount up on teh jellyfish and then sit on someone's mount's head. Why'd they fix that?! If it's supposedt o be "fun" they just nerfed one of hte funnest things in th game. And it didn't even affect the mechanics of the dungeons. /sigh Way to go.

Good old error 132 was a worthless change added
And the jellyfish mount in ToT..yes, there was some HUGE exploits that could be done with that. You could piggyback any class on top of another and stack them, and everyone on top of the person doing the running around couldn't get hurt, could cast while moving and if a rogue was on the very top EVERYONE could stealth and nothing they did would break it unless the bottom one did something to pop stealth.
Trust me on this..it was a huge exploit. Fun too!

I don't really mind the hook. They probably could have fixed something else that actually needed it, but no big deal.
I like that I now fall out of flight form when I survey with my druid... but I agree that the puff of smoke is sort of annoying and my bird now does some kind of awkward dip.
They also apparently fixed that you can't loot 2 barrels from 1 keg in the Dragonmaw dailies.

The price on Conquest Weapons is a bug. They are still available for purchase at the old price, it just shows a higher one.

Dang!! I didn't know about that!! I thought you autodismounted when you left the jelly fish though?
And the upped the minimum level req for entering BC dungeons from 55 to 57. What's the point?
