-The "Favor" system has now been added into the game (I'm not the only one who remembers that april fools gag...right? Guys?).
- After processing massive amounts of data, complaints, and suggestions, we have finally gone ahead and changed Bard from a "DPS" class to a "Tank" class. Bard-only gear now provides significantly more Defense and Magic Defense for the rare occasions they can't kite a mob, and they've been given a new trait that doubles all threat generation to help prevent those silly Paladins and Warriors from stealing hate
- Blacklist size has been increase from 200 entries to 1,000 entries.
- Adding someone to your Blacklist removes all /tell messages they have sent you from your chat log.
- It is now possibly to right-click someone's name and select "Report Character". When doing so, you will be given a small list of options to designate what they are being reported for. Options include "Harassment", "Cheating", and "RMT".
And, for a special 2.51 "Things I want to see on the Patch Notes but probably won't" bonus...
