TBC Anniversary: heroic keys now need only Honored

Heroic dungeons in TBC Anniversary have become easier to reach. In its hotfixes for 27 October, Blizzard changed the heroic dungeon keys so that they now require Honored reputation with the matching faction, instead of Revered.

Until now a character had to reach Revered before the key could be bought, which meant a long stretch of reputation work before that faction's heroic dungeons opened up. With the requirement dropped to Honored, characters can get their keys earlier and start running heroics sooner.

The change is a single line in the hotfix list, and Blizzard did not explain the reason for it. It went out as a hotfix, so it applies without a patch.

Blizzard posted the same line in its TBC hotfix thread on the European and American forums, alongside the Midnight hotfixes for the same day. It comes a few days after Zul'Aman opened on 22 October.
