Subject: Re: Undocumented Patch List 1.7
Thanks for working together to compile a list of undocumented changes brought about with the latest patch (version 1.7). I can confirm that the following changes were made, but not listed.
- Large Rope Net will no longer drop from Westfall and Darkshore mobs.
- Many low level consumable items quest rewards are now Bind on Acquire.
- The effect of the Hand of Edward the Odd will no longer affect the opening of Chests or the taking of Graveyards in Alterac Valley.
Also, the casting bar for spells and abilities seems to be darker now, which is not intended and will hopefully be resolved in a future update."

There are a lot of posts talking about the nets in 2005 as well (earliest patch is late late 1.2)

A lot of indicators show that the nets were still in the game in early 2006 (Patch 1.9-2.01)
I imagine it was removed in 2.01.
Please add it to the drop table!
