As a mechagnome I cannot click these. The hand lights up and no matter what angle i'm standing at, it says its too far away. I cannot get these to go away. I'm aware that the box to click it is very small, but i'm in the right place, i could do it just fine with larger races but for some reason, this one is not working. If i'm in the wrong spot it says Target is too far, but if im in the right spot it says "Out of Range" which, i'm not.
While doing this quest, get the flight point at 87,62. It's outside the base down a short ravine to the left. You'll thank me later. (It's handy for getting to Frostfire Ridge for other quests.)

Description
My patented "Come to Papa" voice command was only the first step. I also programmed all of my mole machines with a "Go Home" command that'll send 'em auto-diggin' to a pre-determined location - my workshop in Gorgrond! Let's send the mole machines home before the orcs stink 'em all up with their stupid breath and their sweaty... leather... thongs. <You hear Thaelin gagging a little from inside The Suit.> Blech!

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.
