2.3 unofficial patch notes
Well, they're not really patch notes, but we've seen tons of posts concerning class changes in 2.3 lately (probably because the 2.2 went live), and it's way easier to list them like patch notes instead of doing 300 blue posts report. I planned to do them myself but bumped into this post in the way, which means that these notes are heavily based on it.

Arena and personal rating requirements in 2.3
Finally got some values and information about the new "personal rating"
[blizzquote author=Drysc source=[URL]https://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=1778033729&pageNo=1&sid=1#10[/URL]] 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.[/blizzquote]
2.3 Fast release
Zul'aman and most likely the 2.3 patch will be released fast according to all the details we're getting.
[blizzquote author=Eyonix source=[URL]http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=1778036755&pageNo=2&sid=1#22]Zul'Aman[/URL] is done. We just need to get the raid dungeon on the public test realms, and make sure it sees extensive testing. Don't worry, it won't require the same amount of testing as voice chat. I feel few truly understand what it took to impliment voice chat, and test it properly.[/blizzquote]
New Cenarion Expedition mount in 2.3
Daghorn, a french Community Representative said in a blue post that a new mount will be added to the Cenarion Expedition in 2.3. It's included in the patch notes above but I guess some people will want a translation of the source.

1 hour delay on AH mails
So ... why are the money from your AH sales delayed ?
[blizzquote author=Nethaera source=[URL]http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=1778024949&pageNo=2&sid=1#31]This[/URL] 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 realms economy. Players will still receive their items immediately, but it will take one hour for the coins to show up in your mailbox. [/blizzquote]
