excuse the ignorance but... bug?
if you remove auto-loot, move your skinning ability to your actionbar, and group up 5 or more skinnable corpses in close range, you can skin them but not loot the leather, then click on the first corpse you skinned (which should now have sparklies cause it needs to be looted) and press your skinning ability, you can reskin it. doing this repeatedly will continue to give skillups, assuming the mobs are at least green.
just go in the same order every time and youll skin up like crazy. additionally, if you throw and herb or mining node into the mix, you can level that up as well. gather the herb without autoloot, dont loot it, skin 5 or so mobs, regather herb. you should get a skill point. doesnt always work but it makes the grind ridiculously easy, it's the only way i could be bothered to level 450 herb/450 skinning on my 29 hunter.
oh yeah 3.0.8!!! as an elemental shaman here, i fucking love it. i went from chugging along on patchwerk with 4k dps, on tuesday i topped the meters with 5300. also i think im actually a viable pvp class now so i should probably l2p and start arenaing.
yeah ratings really better get rolled back cause that shit's broke. funny thing was the wg exploit, but i dont think every realm was affected by it. every time someone took control of wintergrasp, the northrend server would crash and wintergrasp would reset. got 18k honor and 27 wg marks in a little over an hour lol.
And shame I can't be arsed to level my Hunter on Malygos to 80 to actually get emblems for the heirloom axe.
