Dungeon Finder System
- The Vote Kick option no longer has a 15-minute cooldown.^[1]
Frozen Orbs can now only be rolled on as Greed.^[2]
On the login screen, "Account Name" has been changed to "Battle.net Account Name"
Quest items in a player's inventory are now clearly marked with a golden border to make them more easily identifiable.
In the character list screen Hunters are shown wearing their ranged weapons instead of their main/off hand weapons
Placing a bid on an item in the auction house now displays a confirmation dialogue box to confirm the bid and the amount; previously only buyouts had confirmation boxes.

If a player joins a dungeon run that already has been started, he/she will now be teleported to your group guides current location, instead of to the entrance of the instance.

During the scan of the machine on the login screen, users using Windows 98 (or older), and users using outdated hardware will receive an warning message telling them their system will not be supported in future versions of Wow. ^[3]

[Weather-Beaten Fishing Hat] will no longer work on fishing poles below a certain ilevel.

^ Wryxian 2010-03-12. Frozen Orbs in Patch 3.3.3. Retrieved on 2010-03-12. “Yeah it just takes one person to press Need after everyone's pressed Greed on the Frozen Orbs and you miss out. But the good news is that in patch 3.3.3 this won't be the case anymore -- the roll for Frozen Orbs will be an automatic Greed roll. Rejoice!”
^ Datth 2010-03-23. This system will not be supported.... Retrieved on 2010-03-23. “There's a good chance that the patch encapsulating the 4.0 changes will make it completely unsupported when we move to new technology that your OS doesn't support. Windows 98 support was technically dropped in Burning Crusade and Wrath although it'd still run. We're planning more changes to 4.0 that drops support for *very* old technologies, too. When we get more information, we'll post it. I think for your case, old Athlon Thunderbird and Duron Spitfire chips will be dropped since you got the SSE message. Athlon XP and Duron Applebred will be fine.”
