My buddy recently upgraded the server from VIP to Gold version. During our 'test run', I encountered a rather weird (and very destructive) bug.
In the Gold version, it's possible to solo dungeons. I did not know this when I started testing, so I used the '.npc add' command to gather a party to tackle a random, non-heroic dungeon. I (a lvl 85 forsaken shadow priest) recruited a hunter (which I replaced with a death knight while in the instance), paladin, priest and mage and used the Dungeon Finder to start a random dungeon. I was sent to Throne of Tides. I easily beat Lady Naz'jar and Commander Ulthok. I beat Erunak Stonespeaker, but the boss battle did not enter phase 2 (Mindbender Ghur'sha releases Erunak and fights the party alone). I proceeded towards the final boss, Ozumat. In the final boss room, I found Neptulon, but could not interact with him. I could not start the fight with Ozumat. Thus, my dungeon run was over. Slightly annoyed by these setbacks, I left the party (of NPC's) while inside the instance. I then HS'd out of the dungeon.
Everytime I entered a portal, or used the HS, a message popped up, stating 'Left (location), diffculty =5'. Each time that happened, my stats took a hit, getting a progressively worse penalty, until they eventually reached 0. Relogging did not reset my stats, but they did reduce the penalties a little, until I used another portal or HS. The problem wasn't fixed by completely shutting down the game either. The gm tried several things, like .unaura all, but nothing helped. We eventually decided to revert back to the VIP backup from the day prior.
I hope this story makes sense. If anything about the story is unclear, let me know and I might be able to clarify.
