hm, phased zone, sounds great because most players (99.9%) do quests to open the gates or dailies for reputation etc...
So it's nice because nobody will see you farming but the biggest problem is
selling the shards for the mount and no matter what you do Alani sellers are obvious bots

Btw it's nice because shards are now linked to your bnet account so you can rotate with many chars to sell the mount and be less suspious.
Will give it a try next week when i will be back.
Thanks in advance for sharing.
edit: Am i the only player to have a hard time selling Alani's pull ? I mean i only sell the pull for 40k gold and find no buyer for a week now and i am full of shard...
