Dinked around with xmogs and reserved a name and have been waiting for today to unlock mechagnomes so i can finally make my planned main for Slands today. Worked all day, finally got home psyched to do this questline and get leveling on my slands main and then this happened.
Apparently it had been a reported bug for a while now too on the PTR.
WTF blizz this is extremely deflating, didn’t you expect this to be the first thing people did in this prepatch? 
please fix asap thanks.
