Anyone else having a problem looting those parts? I see other characters looting them (the parts disappear when they are collected), but my character bends to pick them up and no item appears for loot. The character stays locked in the loot position till i move it.
No, i'm not in a raid (like an imbecile in WoW US forums suggested for another player having the same problem) and have tried with auto loot on and off.

Description
There's just too much to do around here, and too few gnomes on their feet to help! The high tinker has asked me to start converting some of our old bots and parts from Operation: Gnomeregan. I hope to have a new line of multi-bots ready for a field test soon! I don't suppose you'd have some time to help, do you? There are all kinds of parts scattered around. Pick up anything you find and bring it back to me. You never know what could turn out to be useful!
Where to go

We will need all the weapons, inventions, and soldiers we can get in order to defeat Razlo Crushcog and his followers. Over to the northeast, you'll find Engineer Grindspark, one of a new generation of brilliant gnomish minds. Why, he hasn't had an explosion in over three prototypes!

- A Job for the Multi-Bot
If the multi-bot works, it will help us do all kinds of jobs that are unpleasant or dangerous for us gnomes! After Thermaplugg detonated his irradiator at the end of Operation: Gnomeregan, toxic clouds and ooze began bubbling up at the old airfield south of town.
