LFG Tool: 

Here is the first major highlight of this latest update. Following the announcement made by Blizzard at Blizzconline, they have finally introduced a new and advanced LFG tool for players. Although, it was already available for players it wasn’t used frequently by players. Considering the need of players, they have worked on it and changing the interface and making it more functional. With the advanced Look for Group (LFG) tool, players can conveniently look for decent teams for raids. Besides all the updates, it still does not offer automated group formation that is disappointing.

Guild Banks:

Here is another nice addition to the game by Blizzard. They will be adding Guild Banks as well. The Guild Bank is in-game storage that allows players to withdraw and deposit items and currency. This makes it convenient for the players to know how many resources do they have. This will also help different guilds share resources.

Druid Swift Flight Form: 

Another good news for the players, as Druids are also getting the Swift Flight Form. A quest chain is available for players to test. To start, you require a Level 70 Druid with 300 Riding Trained. The quest begins from Loganaar, leading down to Sethekk Halls, where the Druid will summon Anzu which offers multiple rewards including Swift Flight Form, Idol of Raven Goddess, and Reins of the Raven Lord, a very rare mount.
