I would like to know Arenanet’s stance on this, it is a popular modification gaining notice around websites like R/GuildWars2.

Here is the Reddit Submission (quoted below with download links removed)

Toggle Combat Mode on and off with any key you choose. Combat Mode transforms Guild Wars 2 movement and targeting into that of a true action game. The cursor becomes a fixed crosshair (of your choice) at the center of the screen. Moving the mouse now turns your character and camera (as if the right button was held, like a 3rd person shooter). Left Click can now be assigned to any action. Auto Attack / Weapon slot 1 is a popular choice. Right Click becomes anything you want; Dodge? Weapon Swap? Whatever you choose.

Current Features:
*Crosshair, with crosshair targeting
*Completely eliminates Holding Right Click, and Tab targeting
*Very helpful for disabled and Carpel Tunnel / RSI inflicted gamers
*Left and Right Mouse Keys now perform actions (Such as Dodge, weapon Swap, Auto Attack, Profession Skill)
*Scroll Wheel also now performs actions (Such as Dodge, weapon Swap, Auto Attack, Profession Skill)
*Seamless intergration with GW2. Opening panels such as Inventory and Hero Panel will switch you out of Combat Mode
*Simple to install and customize, even easier to use in game
*Gathering Mode: Toggle gathering nodes names on and off (Insert key by default)

0.2 changes the way targeting is done from 0.1 and vanilla GW2 (more similar to Jayce’s original script). It takes a bit more getting used to, as there is no set target that we are used to in MMO’s. But after 20 minutes you will never want to go back to the old ways. Whenever you press a ranged ability that needs a target it will ALWAYS cast it on the mob under (or closest to) the players cross hair. There is no traditional targeting in this, whatever you face, you hit.

I tried this but at my 20-30 FPS the camera is so ridiculously floaty that it’s not comfortable at all for aiming like this, doesn’t feel like GTA or such games.
What frame rate do you have in this video?
