Taron trash was having weird issues for us last night. On the second pull (two orcs who start out riding dogs then dismount) we killed an orc and dog, then the other dog despawned and we killed the last orc. A minute later one orc riding a dog came down the stairs. We tried to kill the dog but he despawned at about 80% killed the orc and again a minute later he was walking down the stairs.
After a botched attempt to just run up the stairs and kill the pack past him we gave up and went to bloodboil. The odd thing was the three packs at the top of the stairs that we aggroed also seemed to despawn. When I went back to check for loot they were slowly respawning.

This may be related - I noticed inability to overwrite old rips with new double-trinketed rips which would have definitely ticked for higher. "A more powerful spell is already active" was the message I got, too.

In heroic mech, only the player with the key to the 'chest' got a heroic badge. This might be caused by the remaining items being awarded by rolls before the keyholder loots the badge making it seem 'empty'. Might work correctly if everyone passes on the blue/etc. items then loots their badges before looting the remnants however I have only one experience with it so far and the 'chest' became unlootable after the keyholder looted his badge.

I just did some digging and couldn't find anything in relation to this, even the blue post saying that they know about the exploit and not to do it is gone. I guess blizz does not enjoy any reference to major mistakes.

This is what I suspect, and what was what happened with the chest in Heroic Ramparts. I'd recommend everyone pass on the rolls, get your badges, then loot the regular item.

More importantly: Anyone have any issues with the Chess chest in Karazhan?

That must have been for someone that was vendoring it/DE it repeatedly, I'll freely admit I bought a set to run around in, but got nothing more than a warning on my account, same as if I had cursed someone out in trade.

Mystical Skyfire Diamond: In 2.2 the duration of the focus buff was increased to 10 seconds.
When they added the internal cooldown to the gem in 2.3 they decreased the buff duration to 5 second. This is not documented and there was a blue post about it being a bug. But it's only 5 seconds at live servers now, making it even more useless for am spam

Okay. I hardly consider the 48-hour suspension for exploiting nearly 1k gold noteworthy.

This makes a lot more sense for someone who just bought some stuff and didn't try to use it for the ever-popular shenanigans.

I have updated the OP.

I mentioned this in the PvP forum, but I seem to have been awarded the ~400 bonus honor from the BG daily twice. I ran one AB, got 160 for winning, turned in my quest and had an estimate of ~600 for the day. Without doing any more PvP, I checked an hour or so later and had ~1000 honor for the day. Anyone else experience this?

Edit: I just went home for lunch and checked, and my total honor for yesterday is listed as ~600. It seems the ~1000 from yesterday was simply a display issue.

Not sure if it should be posted here, but yeah Season 3 delayed for a week.
