2.3 Unofficial Patch Notes
Blizzard Posters have been very active on 2.3 changes, therefore a list has been compiled into patch notes which contains all blue posts related to 2.3, we added several additions to this list made by the wow community (we will keep adding new). Let us know in comments if something is missing (all new additions will be mentioned in the latest news updates).
General
•The 33% spell damage bonus on +healing affects enchants, gems, and all the other items, however it doesn't include temporary buffs, some BC leveling greens with "of the..." stats, and some Zul'Gurub items. (UPDATED)
•The next flying mount (Cenarion Expedition) will be a Swift Hippogryph, which one will have the same speed as the Swift Gryphon and Wind Rider (280%). (UPDATED)
•Escape Artist has now a 1 min 45sec cooldown.
•All Disarm immunity effects in the game were changed to 50% disarm duration reduction (non stacking).
•Auction's duration have been changed to 12, 24 or 48 hours. Also deposit prices for all duration will be the same. (src)
•Auction House will now sort server side. If multiple pages exist you will be able to sort across all pages. (src)
•You will now be able to ctrl-click a recipe to preview the item the recipe will create in the dressing room. (src)
•Ogri'la Faction Vendor: This vendor now sells potions useable anywhere for a large number of Apexis Shards. 50 shards, as good as super mana/heal pots. (src)
•New Flying Mount added. Requires 2,000g and Exalted with Cenarion Expedition. 280% Speed. (src)
•Healing Reduction effects now affect all Drain spells and abilities (i.e. Mortal Strike vs Drain Life)
•Level 20-60 Quest EXP has been increased, while EXP to Level has been decreased. (src)
•Guild Banks added to the game. (src)
•New Arena Relics have been added for more talent specs, and existing Relics have been renamed to create a more consistent naming convention. (src)
•1/3rd of +Healing will count as +Dmg (src)
Raids & Dungeons
• New daily quests are available in the Lower City for 5 man heroic and non-heroic dungeons (Once at a time, a bit like battlegroundw weekends, each day you will get quests for a different dungeons). The following non-heroic dungeons are concerned : Shattered Halls, Steamvault, Shadow Labyrinth, Black Morass, Botanica, Mechanar, and Arcatraz. All dungeons will get quests in Heroic mode. If you're getting the non-heroic and the heroic quest on the same day for the same dungeon, you can complete both by running it in heroic mode once. Non heroic quests will reward you with a Ethereum Prison Key (various reputation), gold, and reputation with the Consortium. Heroic quests will give you 2 Badges of Justice, gold, and reputation with the Consortium.
•Mobs inside Sethekk Halls will now continue to award Lower City reputation all the way into Exalted. Previously they stopped giving reputation in non-heroic mode just before players hit revered.
•The number of creatures that must be killed in the Karazhan Servants Quarters area before a miniboss spawns has been reduced.
•New Daily quests for heroic and select non-heroic instances.
•New 10-Man Raid - Zul'Aman, Zul'Aman is complete and now only needs time on the PTR. (src)
•Heroic Badges drop from Zul'aman and Karazhan bosses
•New Title - Champion of the Naaru: Awarded to those who complete the Tempest Keep attunement quest at level 70. (src)
Zul'Aman
•For more infos, check Zul'Aman Preview
•Zul'Aman will be a 10-person raid zone
•Zul'Aman will be on a quicker reset than 7 days (some might call this "casual")
•Zul'Aman will be MORE difficult than Karazhan and drop better loot (some might call this hardcore)
•Zul'Aman will feature 6 bosses and it's our goal that you can kill them all in one night -- perhaps 2-3 hour clear times (some might call this casual)
•Heroic Badges drop from Zul'aman bosses
•Zul'Aman will not have a key requirement. Nor will it have an attunement quest\ (some might call this casual)
•Zul'Aman will have a VERY challenging timed quest for those who choose to participate in it. This *will be* hardcore and will be very rewarding. Players do not have to engage in the timed run (very similar to the Baron run in Stratholme)
•We're tuning the first boss in Zul'Aman to require less raid coordination than some other raid bosses. He will still hit very hard so you'll need to be geared properly but it won't take 15 minutes to explain the fight. It will be a simple yet challenging fight. The other boss fights get more complex and challenging from there. If players want a basis of comparison, imagine the tuning of ZA started around Nightbane/Prince difficulty and ramped up from there.
PvP
•New healing wand for Season 3 Arena.
•New Melee PvP Cloak added to the game: 34 Stam, 20 Crit, 20 Resil, 46 AP, 112 Armor Penetration.
•New Caster PvP Cloak added to the game: 34 Stam, 15 Int, 16 Spell Crit, 23 Resil, +27 Spell Damage/Heal.
•New Healer PvP Cloak added to the game: 34 stam, 15 int, 6 mana/5sec, 23 resil, +51 healing / +17 spell dmg.

•Battlegrounds now have a buff period upon entering, and upon being resurrected at the Spirit Healer (similar to Arenas)
•New Battleground rewards: Boots, Belt, and Bracers

Alterac Valley
•Each team will have a starting reinforcement count. Reinforcements can be lost in significant amounts if a tower is destroyed or if Captain Galvangar or Belinda Stonehearth is killed. For each team member death, an additional reinforcement will be lost. On the death of General Drek’Thar or Vanndar Stormpike, all reinforcements are lost and the team is defeated. At any point in time, if a team is reduced to zero reinforcements, the opposing team will win the battle. Defending your own teammates, towers, and key NPCs will be an important aspect of maintaining team resources and achieving victory in Alterac Valley. (UPDATED)
•Warlords and their general will be more closely linked in the next patch. Pulling one is a guarantee the other will come as well. Each team begins with four Warmasters. Destroying a tower will eliminate the associated Warmaster. Unlike the current game play, however, destroying the enemy tower will not add a Warmaster to your own side. (UPDATED)
•We will be changing the pace of the battle slightly with a reduction in the time needed to control a tower or graveyard. Where it currently takes five minutes to gain control, the time will be reduced to four minutes. The honor for capturing a tower will also be increased. (UPDATED)
•Currently, players can sometimes be sent to their starting tunnels far from the battlefront. This can often be an inconvenient location to respawn and more out of the way from the action than we would like, to correct this, players will instead respawn at a team-controlled graveyard. Should the team not have a graveyard under their control, they will respawn in the starting tunnel. (UPDATED)
•Players will only be awarded bonus honor during the battle for destroying enemy towers and slaying the enemy Captain. Once the battle is concluded, bonus honor will be awarded for intact towers, a surviving Captain, and for victory in battle. The bonus honor awarded should be similar to previous totals, but will reward players for taking more active roles in Alterac Valley toward defending or attacking key locations and NPCs. (UPDATED)
•We have reduced the number of elite NPCs in Stormpike and Frostwolf holds as well as sent all Commanders and Lieutenants out of Alterac Valley. (UPDATED)
Arena Season 3
•Season 3 weapons will have new art (existing raid weapon models), they will be different colored raid weapons. (UPDATED)
•The same titles of Challenger, Rival, and Gladiator will be given to players when season 2 completes. The players with titles from season 1 will have them removed and the titles will be redistributed to the people who win them at the completion of season 2. (UPDATED)
•The Armored Netherdrake reward for Season 2 will have a different color than the one from Season 1. (UPDATED)
•All items in the gladiator season 1, 2, and 3 sets will be part of the same set, so you can use those items interchangably and keep the set bonuses.

2.3 Changes and Daily Blue
New Flying Mount in 2.3 (Source)
We translated it from french to english.
Regarding Flying Mounts, we plan to add a new mount in 2.3. This mount will be buyable from the Cenarion Expedition, the requirements to buy it are exalted and 2000 gold.
Personal Arena Ratings implemented in 2.3 (Source)
Well to start we'll just let everyone know that the arena RATINGS (not the number of points they'll cost) required to purchase the season 3 items will be 1850 for the weapons, and 2000 for shoulders. The rating will not be required to continue using the item, only to initially purchase it.
Now, most people have expected the weapon rating since we announced it at BlizzCon, and it's a bit lower than we had initially said, but the shoulders are obviously going to raise some questions. The shoulders for any set are commonly the most visually representative, they're the most visible at any distance, and as they allow a lot of space compared to say a leg or bracer item, we commonly take them and really create something visually impressive. We want that visually impressive item to represent what a player has achieved, and so the achievement of being a contender in the arena at a higher level will be visually distinguished. The shoulders are also average in the benefit they provide, as compared to a chest or leg item for example, and without them the set bonuses can still be completed.
This raises the question of a player finding a team that is of a skill level higher than their own, and simply buying the item with points they've gained at a lower rating. 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.
New Daily Quests (Source)
We have some new daily quests targeting a random battleground each day. You'll want to keep an eye out for Alliance Brigadier Generals and Horde Warbringers near your faction's battlemasters in all major capitals. The battleground daily quests will reward gold, experience, and honor. You’ll be able to begin these as soon as you’re able to enter the battlegrounds themselves. So if it’s a WSG day, and you’re level 11, you can take the quest.
One hour delay on AH mails (Source)
Just curious what this is about. We have to wait an hour to get our cash now?
This is in addition to the mail change that we made previously in patch 2.1.3. By adding in the delay we can better track transactions to assure the legitimacy of them.
This change will help us to better ensure the legitimacy of such transactions and further prevent the unlawful influx of currency into each realm’s economy.
Players will still receive their items immediately, but it will take one hour for the coins to show up in your mailbox.
Why do level 60 recipes require Exalted? (Source)
There are a number of recipes in the game that require exalted reputation to receive. The enchants you are referring to are pretty unique and still desired by many people at level 70. So we wanted to add a new method to make them attainable but just like a lot of other enchanting recipes, we don't want them to be easily attainable. If we wanted that they would be purchasable from a trainer.
While hitting exalted with one of these factions doesn't happen in 5 minutes, if you want to get the particular enchant, you can focus on getting reputation for that faction and you will definitely reach it over time.
Measures have been taken to prevent rep/loot farming in Hyjal (Source)
There are indeed protections put in place that should make it extremely difficult for very small groups of players to activate the Battle of Mount Hyjal event and be rewarded with either reputation or items from killing the incoming enemy creatures before the players suffer a defeat. Whenever an enemy wave spawns, there's a check done to see if you've killed enough of the enemy creatures. If you haven't, then loot/rep is disabled for that wave of spawns. If you have killed enough, then that wave and further waves of creatures leading up to the next boss have loot/reputation.
Under relatively normal conditions where a full raid is attempting to fight through the enemy waves of creatures to defeat a boss, all creatures past the first wave should reward reputation and have a chance at item loot.
These kinds of protections were necessary so as to not promote the creation and activation of large numbers of Hyjal instances, which could lead to performance problems for the server.
