UI Changes

Auction House

• The auction house now has a Glyphs section, with subcategories for each Class.

Currency Tab

• The Currency Tab is currently filled by all Marks of Honor and all Badges as well as Honor/Arena point listings. Other reward tokens are not included (i.e.,  [Halaa Battle Token], etc. )

Reputation

• The reputation listings are now sorted into a more hierarchical view.

Minibar

• Hovering over the "Game Menu" option in the minibar now shows latency. The color of the screen also gives you a visual indication of the latency (green, yellow, red).

• The seed pods throughout Azeroth are now blue in color.

NPCs

• Bear type mobs have icons in which their mouth is less wide open. These mobs are generally found in Ashenvale and Hillsbrad Foothills.
• Ship crews (last seen in the PTR of Patch 2.3.0) have returned! Ships and zeppelins now enjoy a full selection of crews, some of which even sell reagents, food, or repair items.
