- Changed! (11/03): Group Disenchanting Option: In addition to rolling Need or Greed on items, players now have the option to elect for an item to be disenchanted if an enchanter of the appropriate skill level is in the group. Disenchant works exactly like Greed except if a player wins the Greed roll, they will receive the disenchanted materials instead. Players who choose Need will always win the item and will always beat those that choose Greed or Disenchant.
- Unit nameplates are now subject to line-of-sight limitations in certain situations (this does not pertain to objects like Arena pillars or bridges). (Not sure if this will change the SW auction house trick or not)

My thoughts about the patch notes so far. With the change of rep being quicker to grind AND the head enchants now being BOA there is a possibility less people will run heroics to grind rep. What does this mean exactly? The possibility of less enchanting mats on the AH. People will still farm for badges but you can farm for badges quicker then you can farm for rep. Esp if its for a hybrid class such as a paladin or druid.
Also Sons of Hodir rep is becoming easier to grind. Quests will now grant more rep (whether or not this applies to dailies I'm not sure) so its a safe assumption that relic prices will drop as people need less overall. However on the counter to this argument is that since its easier you may have people grinding the rep who haven't yet and you may see a price increase.
