Since players will now queue directly from the Heart of the Mists, some core services (e.g., bank, trading post, laurel vendor) have been added there to provide more tools to manage your character between matches as well as help make the Heart of the Mists a more enjoyable social hub for PvP players.
While it’s great to finally get access to these services in HotM, I note that the Mystic Forge isn’t mentioned. Please say we’re getting it back, too!
