Curse informed me that WOW now has a special 64bit game since this patch. Is this correct? If so how do I apply it?

I got to say blizzard, although you do your best to patch and balance between pve and 4 different brackets of pvp, I really think you need to address some of the outstanding issues and not force people to wait until MoP. I for one have already stopped playing as a result of this lack of attention to certain classes but I just cannot stand for what apears to be a rather high level of disregard to your player basis. If you have no intention, or cannot possibly fix the major challenge of imbalance in the game between say, just arenas, or just RBGs, please let us know. But I think many would agree with me here, just pick something and have a go at it, you can only get feedback from it rather then leaving us all to complain even more that nothing is being done until MoP.

"Players now have the chance to receive both the Lovely Charm and Grisly Trophy from a single kill."

No they don't. I had to gather all 250 Grisly Trophies and only then I was able to loot Charms... And of course had both the guide and the kit...

@Wobblez: Well-said. No Death Knight has ever properly articulated what exactly "Hero Class" means, when you strip it down. Presumably because for most people playing them it's an excuse to game imbalance and nothing more.

Apologies in advance to those few Death Knights who're actually well-read and clued up and know what "Hero Class" means. I'm sure you'll admit you're in the minority.

@Stonemaiden: Just to try and help people understand "A hero class is a character class derived from the base classes, but with exclusive perks. Examples of these perks include a higher starting level, better starting gear, unique abilities, and class mounts. Another example of a perk is that your abilities can run off something other than mana, rage, energy or Focus. The only current hero class, the death knight, uses the rune system which no other class has. Prerequisites are required to "unlock" the hero class for play"

Transmogrified items should always lose their transmogrification when mailed......

dafuq? what's the point of doing that? ..
@Boomspree: Well, we don't think a brand new level 1 alt should be able to theoretically equip gear that looks like the latest tier, for example. A character can transmogrify gear to look like something they can actually equip.
