https://us.battle.net/support/en/article/34721 is a walkthrough for deleting one of the cache folders.
The other cache folder is in your "World of Warcraft/_retail_" folder. It's simply named "Cache".
Delete these with your game and launcher closed.
It worked for me... I can't guarantee that it'll work for you. But it's worth a shot.Comment by ulkeshkoshStill waiting on the JY fixComment by RhyneyPlayers should now be able queue for the “Battle for Lordaeron” scenario.Comment by Titebiere83Players should now be able queue for the “Battle for Lordaeron” scenario.Comment by RhyneyYou can start the quest at 10.Comment by series6Can they remove Mechagnome Dungeon requirement as well, spent 4 hours in a queue on a "full" server waiting for it to pop till I gave up.

Must be an unpopular dungeon...

Not sure why all the alliance races seem to have dungeon requirements when the horde ones dont.Comment by TrimlysI have now 2 quest that i can't turn in.
"Payment in kind" from the campaign and
"An Unwelcome Advisor" both for Anduin in stormwind and he no where to be seen,(fell through the thrones or completely vanished, I do not know but this is stupid.
