Guild Wars 2

I’ve played a lot of games and normally when you hold the right mouse button down it turns your character around instead of just the camera. if i want to turn my character, i have to leave the mouse and go to the keyboard, would be much faster if i could just turn around, very annoying.

Your character turns to face the camera orientation when you move.
If you want to spin on the spot for the purposes of making a video or something, then yes you would need to use turn keys.

i just want to turn around to jump in the right direction, i can’t move or i’ll fall off sometimes. The left button turns the camera, so why doesn’t the right button turn the character?

It does turn the character… when you walk forward while the camera is facing the direction you want to go (with right click) you go that direction.

If you’re upset that it doesn’t show your actual character turning until you actually move, this has no impact on game play and is purely cosmetic.

If i walk forward to turn my character around, i will fall off and die. (puzzle solving).

It’s bad game design, since both mouse buttons do the same when you are not moving and add redundancy.

Not true, since it disconnects you from your character, gives false info on enemy facing in PvP and impacts the direction of spell casts. You have no idea how many times I leapt in the wrong direction on jumping puzzles or in combat.
