This was done to consolidate items (e.g. so mages and priests can roll on same item). Similar changes include hit and crit ratings from gear now affecting both spell and melee hit and crit. You should read the patch notes for the patches 2.3-3.01, 3.01-3.02 and 3.02-3.03 :) Similarities: * Some older items will sell well for a long time, especially with all the DKs leveling (and looking for good plate BoE blues for levels 60-70) and power-leveling professions. Some are practically worthless now. Observations: * Pet prices were inflated as soon as people heard there was an Achievement related to pets. Of course when the Achievements system was released that was really the big jump. Not just pet prices either, for example I expect Runecloth to keep selling well as people try to achieve exalted status with their city factions. Press "y" to open the Achievements window. * Item power has jumped significantly less compared to vanila->BC jump. Back then I had full T1 and a few T2 and I replaced practically everything before level 73. Now I have many pieces of badge gear (about T5-T6 gear level) and it will probably mostly keep up to level 75, maybe beyond. Talk is that people in full T6/Sunwell gear do not get any really good replacement all the way to Naxx, the first raid instance! Personally I think the AH will be a bit insane right now due to everyone busy leveling, so that few people have the time to gather mats. On the other hand people are leveling professions so are naturally looking at the AH for mats... last but not least, level 80 daily quests are expected to give ~30g per daily (!!). All of these are driving current AH prices through the roof. I'm going to stay away, the stakes are too rich for my blood - but if you have the mojo to get in on the action, it is very likely you can make very nice profits in the coming days.
