Xbox 360 gamepad interface and support?
It is.
Google GW2 Xbox controller.
It’s been possible almost since launch, but ground targeting is a hassle and things are much slower in general which is why very few people use it.
The novelty is great, I spent some time enjoying it, but you won’t be able to playonthe same level as someone using a keyboard&mouse.
this is why ANet should make self something officially that will solve the problem you are mentioning here together with a gaming controler that is extra made for that.
If they then sell these like they seel extra desinged gw2 gaming keybords/mouses, I think Anet would make quite some real good profit with them.
Well I imagine the main issue is ground targeting, an anet release wouldn’t really change that.
Controller support isn’t an easy thing to do on MMOs. I do mostly tab targeting when I play, but I do click on things from time to time. So how would I make use of the mouse cursor with a gamepad? I think ESO is going to use it because they’ll be doing something more akin to how Firefall, Defiance and Neverwinter Online do target controls. To make this work in GW2 would require a complete revamp of the user interface.

Just get yourself a logitech g13 or a nostromo. You will be much happier than a 360 controller.
Added bonus is the g13 screen actually displays a good amount of gw2 info
Because no one gives a crap about 360… GW2 is not a console game, its a PC game. Man up or go back to crappy consoles.
