I had a very scary experience tonight. I wanted to take my 85 rogue (Alliance) over to Pandaria, just to get the maximum exp on the intro chain, not to quest there at that level. When i took th gyrocopter quest Unleash Hell.
I never got a vehicle bar. There was a button for Leave Vehicle (which I was afraid to use, thinking it would drop me on top of the horde base), but no vehicle action bar. So I couldn't fire at anything. And it doesn't return you to the gunship - you keep circling endlessly.
Hearthing was disabled. Several people, both in the Ironman guild and other Battle.net friends got on their normals to try to figure out what to do. (Hard to find toons who hadn't been to Pandaria but were old enough to go there). I figured the most conservative choice would be to hit /reload ui. That took forever and brought me back to the gyrocopter screen but tehn disconnected me.
Meanwhile a friend tested it and found that the Leave Vehicle button took them back to the Gunship but logging out dropped them, probably to their death. So i was pretty worried.
But I was able to log back in and omg my rogue was standing on the gunship! Alive! I did the pacifist trick and just hearthed out, knowing the portal would now be open when i want to come back to Pandaria. Too much adventure for one night. I didn't actually do that yet.
Just be aware of the potential for that glitch. I've done that quest numerous times, including on my irons, without any difficulty so I don't know if this was new or intermittent or what. Ar least my rogue lived to tell about it.

Whew, that was close. That's Blizzard's way of saying you're too young to head over to MoP....

I was so scared for you when I saw what was happening in guild chat last night, but logged off before you got out of that bad situation. SO glad you were able to make it off alive!
