Guild Wars 2

This isn’t a bug, but rather a suggestion.

Pressing ‘ESC’ should NOT cancel auto-run.

Play ANY other MMO with an auto-run feature and see that this is BEST. At the very LEAST change the priority order for what pressing ‘ESC’ effects. For example, if while using auto-run a player aggros a mob, which automatically sets the current player target to that mob, and they choose to ignore the mob and keep running by, pressing ‘ESC’ should drop the current player target FIRST then cancel auto-run LAST.

If anything it should ALWAYS cancel auto-run LAST. If I am running from one corner of a map to another, and while on my way decide to browse through my inventory or some other area of the interface, pressing ‘ESC’ should close out those menus FIRST and CANCEL auto-run LAST if at all.

Currently pressing ‘ESC’ cancels auto-run first and foremost, above closing any menus or dropping your target. THE WHOLE PURPOSE FOR AUTO-RUN IN THE FIRST PLACE IS TO AUTOMATE MUNDANE BEHAVIOR LIKE RUNNING IN A STRAIGHT LINE, WHILE ALLOWING THE PLAYER TO BROWSE THEIR INTERFACE IN THE MEANTIME. The current ‘ESC’ priority disrupts this obvious feature. Auto-run is a toggle. If I want to cancel it, I’ll just toggle it off, pressing ‘esc’ is completely unnecessary. It doesnt really hurt gameplay at all, its just annoying and would be a lot better developed if corrected.
