The corrupt cursor... and you

Any chance we can get this seemingly minor, yet very annoying bug squashed? A cursor doesn't do me much good if it doesn't appear on screen once I log in. Generally, I have to log into the game an average of 5 times before my cursor is "fixed." (And, yes, I've tried the "force software cursor" fix, with no luck.)

    Agreed. As of this post I've logged in and out 4 times to fix the cursor. Adding that to the 5 previous times I had to do the same thing this morning. Very irritating seeing "Corrupt cursor, fixing" and it not fixing.

    There is absolutely nothing in here that has any way shape or form to do with the cursor problem its a form response.

    I have to admitt this response made me more upset than the actual bug. Cryptic this is just unaccpetable.

    Yes, this is one of the most annoying things in the game. Sometimes, though, it will just randomly fix itself when I'm playing.

    And I, too, am infuriated by the response you got.
