Only one I've seen not already mentioned is that the sprinklers on the farm in Halfhill don't spray water up into the air anymore, they just dump it down into the ground. Must have been a drop in the local water pressure.
I hadn't noticed that. I always thought it was weird anyhow. lol

Not sure if anyone else mentioned this, but now you only get 2 Golden Lotuses per spirit of harmony, rather than 3.

another minor one.
The very common pets that get put on the BMAH (for no real reason) now have a start bid of 10g rather than 10,000g. Noticed one of the cats on there today.

I'm glad to see that fixed. They had the animation upside down before, the water wasn't supposed to shoot up into the sky.

planting crops had a 12 hour timer (that you could only do once a day) and now it's a 23 hour timer.
I think they just changed the reset time from midnight server time to 0300 realm time.

My hunter's gun is transmogged to a bow but no longer makes the bow sound like it did pre 5.1.. Instead it uses its original gun sound.
Not sure if this is a bug or intended. I've yet to test re-transmogging it.
I mogged my gun into a bow post-5.1 dropping. MOST of the time, it makes bow sounds. But every 3 seconds or so, there's a gun shot. I'm guessing there's some extra event that's triggering a shot sound that isn't being properly affected by the mog.

This. I had mine at 8 hours.

It is no longer possible to get up the right edge of the small cliff on the way from waterworks to mines in Battle for Gilneas.

3:00 PST actually. This is true for everything: Dailies, crops, cooldowns...

Was the nerf to
Blingtron 4000
(1 box per account) in the notes?
Yeh I noticed this tonight also. Very annoying in my opinion. 10 characters doing it each day for a few weeks now and generally only got crap. Wonder if they have increased the drop % on the better items
Probably not, they want the special items to be rare, and that's probably why they restricted the access to the gift also... so people could not increase their chances significantly by using alts...
Given that the wowhead client has recorded the package being opened almost 116,000 times and it hasn't dropped a single mount (and only a very low number of pets or vanity tiems) I don't think there was ever any danger of them becoming common.

I read a tweet or post somewhere by a blue saying it was a bug. It is supposed to be per character.
Also, to point out that on Wowhead, it does show 1 drop of the mount.. so 1 in 100,000 chance? haha

Found a couple so far
1. Raidfinder pop-up no longer tells you how many bosses were killed
2. SoH turn-in for golden lotus now only gives you 2 (down from 3)
3. Flightpath in Halfhill was moved away from cooking part of town.
When you enter into a raid using LFR, this is what will happen:
Lets say you start at the last boss of , the next time you enter the same , you will not get the same boss.
The system will choose a boss that you haven't killed, first
. This concept works rather well on the grand scale of things. You might not think so, but this is the reason why:
So this new idea to hide what boss encounter you will start at is rather a good idea, since people in the past didn't have a clue that this is the mechanic in place. They would sign up for notice that they wasn't starting from the first boss encounter so they decided to leave the queue.
This mistake would cause them to have to re-queue, not only would this slow the process down for them, it would also cause everyone else waiting for more members to join a LFR group, that had already been started to lose time.
Only "x" could be running at a single point in time , thus holding back everyone else that joined LFR queue after you. This chain re-action would cause queue times to be longer then needed. So everyone would suffer.
