Having trouble trying to contact Landro Longshot to redeem your  World of Warcraft Trading Card game goodies? If your problems involves having a Hated reputation with the Booty Bay faction, then you've got the same problem as player Lieandra.

The player reports a bug that causes Longshot to spawn a Booty Bay Bruiser every time somebody with hated rep with Booty Bay attempts to talk to him. What's strange here is that Longshot doesn't have any connection with the Steamwheedle Cartel, the guys running Booty Bay.

The good news is that Blizzard has already caught wind of this bug, and that fixes have already been implemented. As Hortus explained in a follow-up post:

The changes to guard spawns have been made. As I said before you will still have to deal with the guards but it should be easier now. I've found that if you stand behind Landro it should be possible to speak with him without too much difficulty.

Being a Bloodsail Buccaneer is not meant to be easy. Dealing with the Booty Bay guards is the price you pay for the second coolest hat in the game (mine being the coolest).

Hortus' headgear, in case you're wondering, is a Gnomish Mind Control Cap. Just keep the mod's advise in mind the next time you try to redeem your high-level loot over at Booty Bay. Stick around in case we receive word of any related updates.
