Since Blizzard doesn’t seem to care about these forums I’m here to share the news.
Very good changes Especially for people who are just starting their “Cataclysm Mains” now, Also hoping they add Emblems of frost from every boss BLIZZARD PLEASE.
Get increased dungeon drops in Wrath of the Lich King Classic and take part in the UPrising of gnomes and trolls as they work to reclaim their homelands. Alliance players will heed the call of High Tinker Mekkatorque in Operation Gnomeregan and members of the Horde will be called to Vol’jin’s side as he set his sights on Zalazane and the Echo Isles.
Join their causes and represent your faction with pride during these events!
Get Increased Dungeon Drops
To celebrate the launch of Operation Gnomeregan and Zalazane’s Fall and the coming of Cataclysm Classic, we’ve made several limited-time adjustments to Defense Protocol: Gamma dungeons as well as the acquisition rate of Heroic tier tokens in 25-player Icecrown Citadel. There are also additional limited-time adjustments to the acquisition rates of Fragments of Val’anyr and Shadowfrost Shards in Ulduar and Icecrown Citadel, respectively. All Defense Protocol Gamma bosses now drop 2 Defiler’s Scourgestones (up from 1.) Here are the changes players can expect:
All Icecrown Citadel 25-player Normal and Heroic bosses are now guaranteed to drop 1 Shadowfrost Shard.
All Icecrown Citadel 25-player Normal and Heroic end wing bosses and The Lich King now drop 2 guaranteed Shadowfrost Shards (up from 1.)
All Icecrown Citadel 25-player Heroic end wing bosses now drop one additional Heroic tier token.
The Lich King now drops 2 additional Heroic tier tokens on 25-player Heroic difficulty.
All “Hard Mode” encounters in the 25-player version of Ulduar are now guaranteed to drop 1 Fragment of Val’anyr. Please note that Algalon and “Zero Light” Yogg-Saron are unchanged and drop the same number of Fragments as they did previously as they were already very generous with their Fragment drops. These changes will take effect with each region’s regularly occurring maintenance beginning the week of March 26 and will remain in place until the end of the Cataclysm Classic pre-patch period.
My memory fails me here. Is this the Cata prepatch or not? That is, new talent systems, making goblins/worgens etc. From what I can tell by the post, it’s not.
Nah this is just some PvE stuff that was added with the ruby sanctum patch originally but never mentioned in the patch notes of 3.3.5.

The loot changes to ICC are great. This will help gear alts faster but more importantly help guilds that are still at 11/12 HC to get a few more people HC tokens faster that still need them.
I have yet to upgrade a single tier piece to 277 even though I’m 6.3 GS, mostly due to bad RNG on conc tokens and prio on DPS/Tanks (I’m a disc priest)
I mean… I didn’t see 1h axe drop from LK HC for 10 runs straight. I think LK and Halion could use additional drops just to finish the game BiS and make most of the end of arena season. I don’t even think I will get the axe by the end of expansion (I need 2 of em), meanwhile farming LK for more than 2 months.
Tokens are good for alts, but for mains missing 1 or 2 peaces it’s just frustrating
