This is one rare area where WoW has it right but GW2 has failed thus far.
Here’s the option in WoW: http://i.imgur.com/aU3Kfh.jpg

Now, here’s a situation I find myself in all too often as an Asura: I want to look up. So, I’m looking straight ahead… In GW2, when I start to look up, the camera would zoom in uncontrollably as soon as it clips with the ground. But with this option, the camera pivots at the point it touched the ground, without zooming. I can look straight up without having to worry about my zoom or viewpoint changing drastically. And look at that, I can see straight up with no half-rendered extremely-zoomed-in character in the way.

This issue really reared it’s head in Arah today. Fighting a boss that you have to perform specific actions on when he creates a vortex fairly high up on his body. My poor little asura couldn’t look up well enough to see the vortex without the camera going crazy with its unsolicited zooming.
