Guild Wars 2

The response from Anet reprinted below was from November 2012. It is now nearly April 2013 and events have come and gone. It was nice to see a response at all, but it would be nice to know what it is about right-click targeting that is causing the devs such agony in consideration. I understand that coding anything is a substantial undertaking, but how would a toggle box to disable right-click targeting adversely impact the game itself? I’ve played MMOs since Ultima Online. Turning the camera with the right mouse button is instinctive for a substantial portion of the player population. Constantly losing my target is getting very old.

…

Our development team reviews play input on a regular basis. They are aware of this suggestion, but have not yet reached a decision on what changes, if any, they will make to targeting.

There is a lot going on right now with the upcoming event, but after that, the team will take a look at a lot of different game elements, and may make some changes in the future.

Sorry I don’t have more specific information, but you can be sure this is not being ignored or rejected without due consideration.

Thanks for understanding.
