Hi everyone,

In Interface option you can toggle "Click-to-move" but when you try to use it ( by using right click) the char only move for few step, even if you click far away.

For those who wanna say that wow has to be played in QSWD i answer this : i've played Lineage for 7 years, it's click to move and i'm kinda used to it.

Sorry for my crappy english.

Thanks

I'm sure enough to give you what I think might be the real problem about this.
It's all a monitor "Refresh Rate" (RR henceforth) issue not equal to your wow settings, and in general a wow problem not supporting very well refreshing rates above 60hz.
Let me explain better:
[*]If you have a 75hz monitor like me, and in game you set 75hz, the click to move function won't work => Wow supporting problem
[*]If you intend to leave set your monitor RR at 75hz, and set 60hz to Wow, it will work quite decently, apart from re-bugging itself sometimes.
[*]If you decide to lower your monitor RR at 60 (just to wow, so at the expense of other games/programs that would benefit from it instead) and set the same 60hz to wow, it will work flawlessly.

My graphic card is an ATI and, same as Nvidia, you usually have to access your graphic card manager program (Catalyst Control Center for me) to change your RR.
You should ask to anyone more expert than me if it would be possible to write a .bat executable to access their options .ini files (or similar), to change the refresh rate of your monitor only before launching Wow, and letting it unchanged on every other programs.

P.S: also other options such as the V-Sync and similar contribute to this "refresh rate defect", but personally I tend to let this one disabled to gain some fps.

Btw I used to click to move often in WotLK too, particularly to automatically acquire the herbs nodes on the distance while I was doing other things like watching tv or similar.
