Inventory
The Guild Bank no longer allows players to transfer items before they have completed the criteria necessary to trade.
Voninblod now has a "Use" button in the Wealth tab.
I realize you guys didn't want to hint to people that they could do this... but... really.. this is anti-climactic...
and so is this Patch really.. after all the horrible things you guys have done to us (Gateway... Ad Generation nerfs... SKT Time Sinks... removal of Steam pay option which has in part make Zen almost impossible to buy with AD... and w/e you may still do to Zax/Ad generation...) and some great things you mention in the Q & A (very few things)... ... you continue to barely communicate with the community about things that matter most to them and then.. put out a patch that doesn't really deal with any of them.
GOOD... you lowered the cost of Runic Keys... the rest of the stuff is ok... I guess.. very few of them effect me personally.. the rest of it looks like stuff you came up with and worked on during a lunch break or 2.

It's nit picky things like this that makes me think the Devs (game company) are Stingy and Greedy... if the drop really IS "a little less frequently" then way mess with it? Why waste your precious Dev man Hours on it? Is it because you are doing everything you can to milk the player base for more cash?
Such a small change... supposedly no big deal... EXCEPT for how it makes you look to your customers. You guys really need to start asking yourselves... Is this change we are making going to gain/save us more than it's going to cost us?
