It is amazing to me how many of the old instances and raids are severely bugged when you go back to solo them. Just for example, I didn't get credit for the second boss in the Naxx military wing (the one with the bone piles) but I did kill him and did go on to kill the boss after him (4 horsemen, iirc). But, no credit for clearing military wing. The final boss in naxx (after the dragon) bugged 6 times, despawning after a few minutes over and over before finally not---as long as I stayed still in the center and never moved. One of the bosses in Firelands was not exactly bugged, but not exactly not either. Not sure if I should try the final raid in Cat or not. Will have to look at the mechanics and see if it even allows soloing (my sense is that it does not). I did get a mount drop in some raid in Dragonblight, but it was mount I already had. I'm up to 145K gold, despite the increase in monthly coin cost (up to 35K+). The missions and ship missions bring in so much money that even though I am spending 40-60K a month, I am still increasing my stockpile steadily. Most of my active minions are treasure hunters now, so god missions sometimes get doubled three times. Barrels of oil sell for stupid amounts of money (~1500g) as does a lot of worthless gear. I mean, worthless to me. Who the hell spends 5K on an ilevel 400 item? -- Because you can't cotton to evil. No Sir. You have to smack evil on the nose with the rolled-up newspaper of justice and say, 'Bad evil. Bad BAD evil"'
