AOE on target
And especially hard for color blind people who lose the normal cursor pretty much all of the time because of all of the particle effects, let alone the targeting circle. At least I assume it is only colorblind people (I’m colorblind), but regular people might be losing the cursors as well.
It’s hands-down one of my biggest issues with this game— the darn cursor. AOE on target would eliminate one of the needs to see the cursor.

This was a specific design choice to require ACTIVE targeting (which requires awareness of surroundings) and avoid the TAB+# key attack mechanic of GW1. For all the nostalgic recollections of GW1 around these forums, nobody seems to want to admit that for quite a number of GW1 classes and skill sets, once you closed with a mob, you could dominate them 90% of the time blindfolded with just Tab, 1 Tab 2, Tab 3, Tab 1…..etc. etc.. That is also the reason that Hexes were removed.
While Passive targeting may be great for PvE, it is horrific for any type of PvP play. Now why they changed this and then removed collision detection for enemies (thus removing player positioning / blocking in PvP) is quite questionable and likely the main reason GW2 PvP will never be taken seriously by many competitive gamers.
On a related note, putting some significant effort in to some changes to better identify and locate the on screen targeting cursor WOULD be a greatly appreciate by nearly every player….Cursor is FAR too easy to loose control / sight of during combat.

Not just the colorblind. Try using YOLOmouse.
