I tried this from a post I saw that said:
Hey Guys,

There's tons of threads posted and lots of promising solutions. I have one that I've been testing for three days and have not had as much as lag spike when mousing over cogs. This works if you're willing to disable tooltips when you are anywhere a cog icon might show up.

You will need to create two macros, for "turn off tooltips" and "turn on tooltips".

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

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

This should get you through until the official fix comes down from Blizzard. Happy hunting!



Okay, I did all of that and it still crashes my computer every single time!!!! fix this blizzard!!! preferably before the event ends!!! i want my mount!!! been waiting all year!

As others have mentioned, Leowyatt, make sure you turn it off while doing the event and turn it back on once its over. If possible go in to your video settings and also disable hardware cursor.

Lastly, please refrain from posting in all caps as its unnecessary.
