Im posting it here because i cant read that damn small text.

General

• Auction's duration have been changed to 12, 24 or 48 hours. Also deposit prices for all duration will be the same.
• You will now be able to ctrl-click a recipe to preview the item the recipe will create in the dressing room.
• All items of the auction house will be sorted server side, basically it means that when you'll try to sort a particular item by price, it will sort it through all page, not only the current one.
• Zul'Aman, a 10-person raid instance located in Ghostlands will be introduced.
• New Honor Badge rewards will be introduced.
• Zul'Aman and Karazhan boss encounters will drop Honor badges.
• Guild Banks will be introduced.
• Quest reward experience will be increased, while experience required per-level 20-60 will be decreased.
• Spell effects labeled "Increases Healing by x" will now increase spell damage by around 33% of that value as well.

Reputations

• You can buy now buy Super Mana and Health Potions from Ogri'la quartermaster. They're usable everywhere and costs 50 Apexis Shard.
• A New flying mount will be made available through Cenarion Expedition reputation. The mount will require Exalted and about 2000 gold.

PvP

• Daily quests will be added for Battlegrounds. The quests are random each day and will reward gold, experience and honor.
• Season 3 Weapons will require a rating of 1850 to purchase, while shoulder slot items will require 2000.
• A new "Personal Rating System" will be added to prevent "selling" Arena teams.
  • To restrict this we're implementing a personal rating system in patch 2.3. This is an additional arena rating that is unique to each character for each team they belong to. This rating rises and declines using the same formula as the arena team rating, but only in games that character participates in.
  • You'll also be able to track this rating through the PvP interface. The personal rating will be used for purchasing items that require a specific rating, and also be used to determine eligibility for the end of season rewards. So, a player will have to achieve a specific rating, and not just get into a team to see the rewards that are meant to visually distinguish the high-rated players.
