[Pending Restart] - For 2 seconds after gaining corpse runner, you are invulnerable to effects and will drop all threat. This will prevent behavior like fears, dots casted on you in the same game-tick that you release back to the start of the dungeon to cause you to lose the corpse runner buff or worse, run out of the instance due to being feared. The threat drop serves a purpose of keeping you out of combat for a brief moment if you have DoT effects up on current mobs and will more than likely stop mobs from chasing you back to the beginning of the instance after a wipe.

[Requires Restart] Vanity items will now actually calculate a Deposit cost when posting auctions. Deposit cost is usually calculated by Vendor sell price, for vanity items since they have no sell price this made them have low deposit cost which made them very suspectible to overt flipping. Deposit cost for vanity items will be calculated like this: 3% Listing Price at 12 hours, 6% Listing Price at 24 hours, 12% Listing Price at 48 hours up to a max of 30 gold.
