Dear developers and community,
I'm making this post to gather all bugs related to skinning in one topic; and to gather some feedback from the community to see if others are experiencing the same problems.
1. Skinning a mob yields no leather
This problem happens seemingly at random for every kind of skinnable mob. Sometimes if you skin a mob, the skinning animation and castbar will complete, but you will receive no leather from it. The corpse will not dissapear but will become unskinnable. The player also gains a skill increase as if it was skinned normally.
This leads me to believe the loottables for skinning are bugged. Skinning should always yield loot, no matter the combined dropchance of the items.
2. Leather dissapears if the skinner's inventory is full
If skinning a mob when using auto-loot (holding shift while rightclicking) the loot will dissapear if the skinner's inventory is full. It will give a message 'inventory is full', it will show the lootwindow for a fraction of a second and then the window will dissapear.
Now the corpse cannot be looted again once room has been made in the inventory, the leather has dissapeared completely, the corpse however is still there. What should happen is that the leather remains on the corpse as if it were normal loot (only lootable by the skinner).
3. Corpses with loot show as skinnable
According to wowwiki: "Any skinnable mobs will say "Skinnable" in their tooltip after they are dead and completely looted"
At the time of writing mobs on Nostalrius show as skinnable (the icon appears), even if there's still loot on the corpse. The game does give an error if you attempt to skin it, stating the corpse must be looted before skinning. Instead it should just show like any other mob, UNTIL it has been completely looted.
If anyone else has any bugs to add to this, or if you have evidence that contradicts my reports I will gladly edit my posts to reflect your findings.
