Players are reporting on the World of Warcraft Forums that a Quest known as Slaves to Saronite / Slaves to Saronite is currently bugged, after players interact with the Saronite Mine Slave, they lose 500 gold. Some players didn’t notice the missing gold until they had already lost thousands of gold!
Saronite Mine Slave, the NPC stealing player gold
I just started doing my daily rounds and when I got to “Slaves to Saronite” daily I heard the gold sound when I attempted to rescue one.
