Guild Wars 2

Just turn it the heck off and remove it from the entire game. You cant coddle everyone all of the time. At some point being lazy and not trying has to bite you in the tail. This one feature is making the game almost unplayable for any medium to small sized clans with pvp talent. We pointed this out all through the entire beta. Time and time again this feature has demonstrated how distructive it is and it alone has made zerging in this game rewarding. Its realy simple.

The scoring system not being complete by any standard is a far second to removing autotarget.

I’ve actually disabled the autotarget feature because it’s obnoxious, but I fail to see how it really helps zerging. If there is anything that promotes zerging, it’s the rally on downed state and AOE limitations, but…. autotarget?

Maybe it does, but I don’t see it. Would you explain?

Well doesnt that autotarget pick closest target first so against ranged or mesmer its pet/illusion.

I did turn it off!

It would help if you gave some actual reasons as to why you feel autotarget is so “destructive”.

Do you think tab targetting should be removed too? I mean that is basically just autotargetting with the press of a button.

How does this ruin small groups/guilds. We use this to our advantage when we are attacked by auto-target noobs (after all the true power comes from CTRL-T Trains.

Auto target is great, we can better control where the damage lands

Well I would think auto targeting is an advantage for the opposing side since damage tends to be more spread out then if they were grouped and ctrl+t ing targets.

@OP

So what you’re saying is: Bad lazy players are killing you?

I often, and my guild mates can attest to this, will charge head first into a group larger than us, and often win against superior numbers.

Are you saying that your small group of “pvpers” can’t handle people that rely on auto target?

You do realize that in this game, you don’t even need to target right? You can just blindly fire off into the world and your attacks will hit something that it collides with?
