Tradeskill Writs Broken?

[LizzyIzzy2]

<p>After the patch yesterday (patch to test server on 10/1/2007), my carpenter could no longer pick up the work order from either the tables or the clipboards, etc. in order to do the tradeskill writs.  I could get the quest from the NPC, just couldn't get the work order (no inspect widget came up, no options on right-click). Seems this was the case for others trying to do writs as well. In addition, there was no toon animation while crafting (i.e. the toon just stands in front of the station, arms at sides) although the combine worked just fine.</p><p>We did /bug reports yesterday on these. Are crafting writs still broken on test?</p>

<p>Just an FYI...</p><p>Tradeskill writs do work properly now but none of my toons on test have any animation while crafting. They stand with their arms at their sides during the combine. Crafting station does not seem to matter... no animation at the woodworking table, the chemistry table, the workbench or the forge.</p><p>From a functional standpoint I can still craft but I would like for the proper animation to come back eventually.</p>
