Fix interface issues, it's become ridiculous.

This is so basic, how do you mess it up.

I can't target PVP objectives to see their health (towers/walls/PVE crap)

I can't see my dungeon timer when I leave a crappy group, it just says I can't queue until the timer is up, no clue when that actually happens.

Any BG queue with a group smaller than 3 takes 40+ minutes. With a group of 3-4 it takes 4 minutes.

I can't inspect people reliably.

I can't mouseover the pumpkin in the headless horseman event reliably.

Seriously this is ridiculous. Fix the basics before you get fancy with goblins and worgen.

Q u o t e:
Permanent fixes take patches.

There is currently a viable workaround for the cogwheel error on the Tech Support forums.

***Quoted for Turtle***

It is also listed in our Patch 4.0.1 - Issues and Updates sticky above: (http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=27188062708&sid=1&pageNo=1#11):

    Workaround:

    Though we do not currently have an estimate on when a permanent resolution can be implemented we do have a possible workaround that players can try that has been successful for some. If you disable your tooltips may prevent the freezes/disconnects the Cogwheel is currently causing.

    Turn Off Tooltips

    /script GameTooltip.Temphide = function() GameTooltip:Hide() end; GameTooltip:SetScript("OnShow", GameTooltip.Temphide);


    Turn On Tooltips

    /script GameTooltip:SetScript("OnShow", GameTooltip.Show);

    We will provide what updates we can as soon as they become available.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    There have been many reports of players who experience their game either freezing or disconnecting entirely when interacting with objects that provide a "cogwheel" prompt. This can include such items as the Warlock soul well, Mage portals, feasts, or battleground objectives such as flags (both node and those that are able to be carried).

    Our QA team is aware of this issue and investigating. However, we do not have an ETA on a resolution. Hang tight, and keep an eye here for future updates!
