Most critters won't start a pet battle if clicked upon.  Surely there
aren't that many pet-battle-enabled critters in one area?

Do you mean your combat pet gets in the way of things you'd like to click
on?  Combat pets will always stand to your character's left, so you could
just face away from the item of interest.  Or you could click the "go
stand over THERE" button on the pet bar to send them away for a bit.

> Or any way to target nearest non-mob item of interest?

I don't believe you can target things that aren't mobs.  I don't know if
this would help, but you can make a keybinding for "interact with the thing
my cursor is currently hovering over."

Hundreds?  I really have no idea what you mean.  What are you doing,
exactly?  And what do you mean by "voidlord"?

Macro /targetenemy and click through the mobs.  It works like the tab 
button in your desktop.  And it doesnt target battle pets, neutral 
mobs/chars or critters.  Only the the eeeeviiiiiil ones that also wants 
to kill kill KILL you! :)

Nope.  It always prioritize the specific mob you attack.  But if you let 
it build up aggro on mob #1 for a few secs by using the voidwalker's own 
attack button and you attack mob #2 the aggro on mob #1 will be kept 
until its dead or aggro is lost.
You can also let the void tank everything by building up aggro one by 
one.  But I wont recommend this strategy as the void's aoe aggro sucks. 
  If you have problems with aggro etc you should try the tiny nameplates 
addon as the nameplate's color tells you all about aggro on specific 
mobs.  Red = bad, yellow = youre close to aggro cap, blue = everything 
is fine and you can take a tan.

The voidlord is the superior version of a warlock's voidwalker.  More 
stamina etc..

  I have that at F1 since '2' is my opening attack button.
  /targetinteract /targetlootable would be nice :-)

I meant if there is a clickable object, quest, loot etc, 20% of the time 
the pet will decide to move onto it when I click.

   whatchu doin? that looks interesting, scratch my tummy.
  I suppose it may have something to do with 250-500ms ping, what I see 
isn't what system thinks is there and by the time I click on a clear 
object something is in the way, then it shows as moved.
  I am having really bad ping spikes atm and it is just happening so often.

  I was hoping for some option or way to just click through the pet, or 
to have the pet not be so upclose friendly.
  I know you just have to pivot point of view, it is just you see an 
object, it is clear..but suddenly not -after- the click.

hehe..  I use /targetenemy a *LOT* when I cycle and dot through mobs on 
my mage or lock.  I'm lefthanded so I use the right part of the keyboard 
with all the numbers.  Donnu the english word for that section...   1235 
is bound for forward/back/strafing and 7 is macroed with /targetenemy. 
Its very important for me to have the most-used buttons near the 
movement buttons as /targetenemy is pretty vital for my playstyle.

Ah.  High latency can show some odd behavior when interacting with 
objects in the game.  The game is tolerant to high latency to a some 
sort of a threshold. :)  250-300ms is acceptable for pve and barely 
acceptable for simple heroic dungeons.  500ms is fine for AH bashing.
It could be a worn-out adsl modem?  That happened to me a year ago with 
a 7 year old zyxel modem.  Latency suddenly went sky-high in maybe 5-60 
secs and sometimes also DCed me.  I was sure it was a f*cked up carrier 
line.  My isp told me I was wrong. :)

It is just local congestion and international routing,    Thats without 
ddos attacks or misconfigurations. It comes and goes over a day or week, 
but is staying longer.

 From here in oz it can't physically get less than 150ms or so ping, 
depending on the cable configuration and path taken. Light only travels 
so fast.
  220ms is pretty good to go up the west pacifc rim, across the north 
pacific, and back through who knows how many repeaters, hubs, switches 
and exchanges. Everthing on the route is doing a very very good job to 
get that.

Also congestion on one or other multi terabit cable could see some being 
redirected across asia. Packets arrive out of sequence, have to be 
reassembled or timeout and resent.

I care about most of the traffic in the world, because my packets have 
to drive through every peak hour in the world :-)

I know that.  He didn't say what the voidlord was *doing* that
was a problem.

Was it attacking when he didn't want it to?  Was it getting in the way,
visually, of his target?  Was it making unpleasant sounds?
