I would like to suggest that the “right click to interact” option allows you to click, say on a node and it will auto take you to it and let you gather all with one click.

This would also work for any interacts, even NPC’s and any other objects, but i would like to see it especially for gathering as that is what we all do most of the time.

My hands hurt after playing gw2 for an hour due to so much clicking and I would really like to see it reduced.

I would also like to see gathering being one action, ie: you hit the node once and gather till it’s done, instead of having to hit it multiple times especially in case of rich nodes.

The only other game I’ve been playing for some years now, is Lotro and this function works wonderfully in that game. I don’t see why it can’t work in GW2 as well.

In fact, this is done so well in Lotro, that even when I’m riding my steed, I can right click a node (as long as i can see it) and my character is brought up to the node, dismounted and starts mining all with just one right click! Gathering is an absolute pleasure and actually very relaxing activity in Lotro, while I find it rather painful in GW2.

Dev’s i know you can do this, please make it happen and save my hands!
Thanks in advance

Umm… Gathering IS one action, except for rich-nodes or those few extra gathers you might get due to WvW bonus. Even so you only need 1-2 clicks most of the time.

Also, why can’t you just run to the node and hit F? I don’t think I even use mouse for clicking outside my inventory.

People who can argue often offer a good and meaningful conversation about the subject.
People who can’t tend to call the opponent troll, scream something utterly incomprehensible
and finally result to personal insults.

I do use F as well but u still have to be right on top of the node to activate it. and in my case, it’s hardly ever 1 action, there’s always that extra pce of wood, or ore.

What i’m talking about is being able to right click to target a node or an npc from a distance in order to perform an action, ie: bring your characters automatically within range of a node and start gathering, or automatically interact with a NPC, all with 1 right click of a mouse.

As i said above, it works beautifully in Lotro and that’s an 8 year old game, so what would be wrong with it working here too? I mean u can use right click to target things in gw2 as well, but it does nothing. It does not perform an action so your character just stand there.
