Greetings fellow Lurkers
Despite the fact that we had first kills on Aran and Illhoof last night in Karazhan (Illhoof 3rd total attempt, first one was just to see the fight mechanics), we left the instance with mixed feelings. Our trusty offtank druid not only did not get any loot yesterday, he in fact logged out with zero items on him.
Just as we were running down to Illhoof for the first attempt, ge logged off, back in, hearthed to Shattrah without any comment, portaled to Orgrimmar and went offline a short time later, all the while not responding to whispers. When he logged in, his first words would have probably made any chat filter blush. Naked, zero cash.
Apparently there is a security problem with Internet Explorer and the guildportal hosting service (or something, I realise this post isn't very helpful without detailed information, but everybody can take measures and I mainly wanted to bring the problem to attention).
So I'm most likely preaching to the quoir (spelling?) but please make sure you:
-are not using any Microsoft products (:P)
-keep your Antivirus Software /Adaware etc. up to date
-change your WoW password regularly, if you insist on Internet Explorer (though for the love of Thrall I can't imagine why you would)
Hopefully GMs will be able to rollback our druids character and get him the items back he worked so hard for. Don't let this happen to you or people you play with.
take care
