Soloing old content is weird

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?
