Hello Everybody! :c
It's been happening for alooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong time now, and it's been bugging me. I've logged onto several other private servers and it keeps happening! I cannot make a rogue, paladin, warrior, death knight or any other class that requires, attacking with weapons. Any type of weapon. Whenever I try do a special move (other that auto-attack) accustomed to the classes abilities. The move doesn't work (it's shaded black on the bars) and it says "MUST EQUIP A WEAPON IN THE MAIN HAND." this has been bothering me or quite some time now and I want to fix it, without reinstalling it. Does anyone know how this can be fixed, is this an MPQ file that is acting up? Is it a DLL?! I can post screen shots on my WoW folder if it is needed!
Please Help

Are you using an RP weapon or real weapon?
I'm unsure about other servers, but this happens on COTH when someone has an RP weapon equipped instead of a statted weapon as the game cannot find it in it's list of "THESE WEAPONS PROC THIS SKILL".

As a giorgio tsoukalos fan, I suggest that ALIENS have taken our weapons away!
Here is direct evidence of non-human beings attempting to grab and use a firearm!
Sorry, I gotta make myself laugh.

I tried it on -many- servers, I have weapons from the Frost Emblem dealers in the ICC and the weapons still do not work. I consulted with Kretol the first day I arrived on CotH but he had no answer; which made me despair until now.

Did any of these other servers require a custom patch?
Have you attempted to disable any/all adons you have? Similarly, are all addons up to date?
Have you downloaded any special patches?[Such as long hair patch, Forsaken patch, dreanei tail's patch, ect]

Nope, all the servers I connect to I make sure I don't have to download custom patches. I haven't downloaded any of those patches and yes I have not enabled any addons while on (Eternal-WoW). Yet the problem persists. Do you think it is because on the realmlist I have
set patchlist logon.conquestofthehorde.com ??

Anyway, now that they mention it, I think it has to do with the RP weapons vs In-game obtained weapons thing, there are also a few more differences, for one, non-RP weapons have levels and etc. (Sorry if I'm bad at descriptions here, I'm rather tired.)

My suggestion would be to take a screenshot of the size of your COTH folder so others can compare it to theirs to spot any issue, as well as the contents of your WoW folder for a closer look. Be sure to put images in the spoilers SunThas!

Here are the screenshots of my WoW Folder, if you need me to take additional screenshots I am all for it. I didn't take screenshots of folders I deemed un-needed.

There is a difference from my Data>enUS folder and yours.
I don't have Patch-enUS-9.mpq
Or in the Data root folder I do not have wow-final.MPQ
In the root folder I don't have wow-patch.mpq either.
My suggestion is to move those three files to a different location outside you WoW directory and see if the problem persists.
Oh my god... you didn't...
