[ Script Fix ] for mouse acceleration.
Couldn't find a working fix so I made one ...
This runs Wow then turns off mouse acceleration. After closing Wow will restore mouse acceleration.
You could change the script to suit your needs. This is an Autoit script and can be compiled to an executable
(once you installed Autoit). Autoit is a free scripting language and very useful for stuff like this. Once compiled
or ran in script form this file needs to be Wow main folder (the same folder as the Wow.exe file).
Notes:
This will stay in the background waiting for Wow to exit then turn back on the mouse acceleration. It will have a slight stall when turning back on mouse acceleration. The loop is 99.99% "sleeping" and will not effect Wow game play at all. If the Wow process is not found within 10 seconds of running - the program will show an error and exit. Wait a full 6 seconds before running the program again anytime you exit Wow. The program was tested on Windows 10. It is a .au3 program (Autoit) used for program logic. However the function directly calls the system's .dlls "Assembler style" - it should be compatible with all Windows versions due to that.

Or two direct mouse acceleration switch programs ...
One to turn off mouse acceleration and one to turn on mouse acceleration.
[ Just move the ; in front of the line you're not using and create two scripts or programs ]
