Camera changes a' comin'
Why would you not want something that has been broken since day one to be fixed?
Look, whatever you do, just make it optional, okay?
They’ve already stated that there will be a “restore defaults” button, for starters. Secondly, what they’re doing is giving us more control over it. You can set the controls to match what we have now, and continue on your way.

Actually i wanna thank ANet for finally doing something about this. This makes me more happy than the wardrobe did. GW1 first-person camera view, i just can’t believe it we get it back. Thank you so much! I can’t wait to satisfy my nostalgia.

YA…because fixing camera collision and field of view options are something devs should never ever do! EVAR!
We don’t want functional camera options!

If you read the news post about the changes (https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/get-readycamera-changes-are-coming/), every new option is at least an on/off toggle and many of them are slider controls.
While these updates have been a long time coming, nonetheless they’re well thought out, obviously based upon player feedback, offer lots of control/customization to the player and most importantly – they’re all optional.
I think the gameplay programmers deserve a tip of the hat for how they’re implementing these features — they listed to what people were asking for and presented a solution with a wide range of options which met most people’s desires, including the option to disable each feature entirely for those who felt everything was fine before.
