I've had that one a couple of times, yeah, not encountered the earlier
bug you met though.

3 bosses in there are annoying in different ways - spider boss if you
fall down you end up basically permastunned till death, patrolling
dogs guy, one dog will permastun you till death unless you have a dot
onhim which if you're lucky will break the stun, and gatekeeper boss
does a % of health-based ability that basically will kill you if you
can't kill him before he does it... seeing as I'm a healy priest, my
dps is not high enough meaning I have to switch back to 10N mode for
that one fight, even though I can do everything else on 25N or 10H
(haven't tried 25H since I got better gear, that might be manageable
for me now, wasn't before 6.2) None of those are bugs though, just
mechanics that don't work out very well with only one person present!

If you mean Dragon Soul, it is entirely soloable, although Spine of
Deathwing is the most annoying bloody fight ever - not so hard once
you figure out the correct execution (took me a couple of deaths and
one enrage timer before I got it right), but REALLY annoying. Think
I've only done 10-man normal there btw, but as I understand it heroic
is no harder mechanicswise.

Those are great for money, our monthly sub is consistently 60k+ so I
pay with RL money (feels better value for money, in that the
conversion to US prices means we only pay slightly more than you guys,
vs nearly double in gold...), so my ingame gold is racking up now. Got
my eye on the BMAH for some really nice mounts, but of course on the
rare occasion they're up someone else already bid the goldcap - the
downside to a very active server, if I had the same gold on a dead one
I'd probably have been able to get something by now.

What, those barrels are sellable? Damn, I've been using mine, didn't
notice that and just assumed BoP! As for the useless gear, if it has
an interesting model, that'll be transmog hunters, supply seems higher
than demand on my realm but theoretically there's a number of rubbish
low lvl greens that are worth thousands, due to desirable models. I've
set MogIt up to display looks on a female when I mouseover, as the
more "revealing" models tend to be pricy (my main is a male so the
usual dressing room doesn't give me much clue how things would look on
a female!). 

With the forthcoming transmog system letting people learn as many
looks as they like, transmog will be big money by the time 7.0 comes
round; I don't have enough bankspace to start now but in the runup to
it I'll start stockpiling salvage crates and see how much I can sell
in early 7.0 as people start wanting every look! (well, I'll probably
be learning a lot of them myself tbh... collector instinct tends to
come before goldmaking for me :-))
