I hope the reason they closed it was because they already have plans to add the option and so there’s no need to keep the discussion.

Hey Mithran! If this was the case then a little bit of feedback or information from ArenaNet would be nice! You know, show your customers a little bit of courtesy and respect.

Right now it seems that when you get a job as a moderator on these forums you are also issued a pair of jack-boots. Thread closures with no explanation and threads querying closures deleted with a ‘moderators must not be questioned’ warning. From my personal perspective I know how this will end and I won’t be playing this game any more I can assure you.

Sadly this is the way of most forums these days, gaming forums or otherwise, forum mods become in a sense power freaks and also tend to close a lot of repeat threads instead of answering the obviously growing problems. Imho no threads involving a specific issue should be closed unless said issue has been resolved or for some reason is no longer an issue.(or an unpopular issue that few people care about).

This issue needs fixing really interrupts the flow of play and is a major pain. Especially in a game where constant movement is required to be any good.

It’s absolute madness that this is still in the game. This has gone on for far too long. How many people have to ask for a fix before ArenaNet even begins to listen? So many minor things have been addressed yet this major frustration among players is left alone.

So please ArenaNet, at least acknowledge that this is an issue, even if you are not fixing it yet, it would make a lot of people happier if you said it was in the pipeline at least.

Agreed I don’t even understand how this game made it to market without the ability to uncheck right click targeting. Such an amazing game missing a baseline quality of life feature.

I hate that I’m turning into “one of those guys” but new backpack models? Really Anet?

FIX THIS.

Mighty Joe is right, all sorts of unkind descriptors come to mind but to be polite, its just plain dumb. I’ve accidentally killed at least two eagles and countless rabbits because of this…. and since it’s predetermined that I’m supposed to be the good-guy, this kind of behaviour is very unbecoming….

Adding to the cacophony on this issue. Yet another inexplicable problem that is not being addressed by Anet. This has been driving me nuts since the game launched. Between this issue and being suppressed in chat for “excessive messages” for no apparent reason it’s really adversely affecting the enjoyment of the game.

Much of this game they got right but there are a few issues that are just perplexing as to why they don’t fix or at least acknowledge them. Do something or at least say something!

It makes NO SENSE for the button that ArenaNet has assigned to Turn your View also be the SAME one that Selects Targets. Who was the sadist who decided on this?

PLEASE Allow those of us who DO NOT WANT to Target with a Right-Click to disable this feature, as it is a major pain in the kitten It is very frustrating in pve, but it is a deadly pandemic in PvP & WvW!!

Correct me if I am wrong, but this was not always a problem – meaning it is a feature that was recently added (within the past few months).

No toggle, just remove it, it’s ludicrous.

Plz yes fix this, im constanly activating objects when i don’t want to and attacking too! I only want to rotate the bloody camera!
One of my best examples of what happened: I dropped lava on the ground before the fractal boss (dredge fractal) was there because I wanted to rotate view and I often click not too far away from my character.

I would also like to see this gone. WvW it is nearly impossible to reliably target someone in any decent sized fight where you need to stay on the move.

I would love to see right-click targeting gone. I’ve lost countless targets because I just want to move my camera. Sometimes it results in my death. Every time I lose a target by moving my camera, the game loses of bit of its appeal.

Well, whatever the cause of the delay, it needs to be fixed. This is as close to a game breaking bug as I’ve ever seen. Almost all defeats in PvE can be attributed to the loss of target at a critical moment and it’s always due to the right-clicking nonsense.

one of the top most annoying things with this game is how hard it is to get them to respond to and deal with the stupid things. like the camera move button targeting crap.

Right click targeting. Gamebreaking issue. Absolutely. No.1.

Sin.1524:

I target something with left click and as I’m constantly moving the camera with right click, it’s constantly targeting things I don’t want targeted. I’d love it if ArenaNet disabled right click targeting or at least added an option for it, because it’s really annoying.

Suggestion: At the topic states, a toggle to disable it. A HUGE amount of people believe that simply making right click target on mouse release instead of mouse down, that it would fix the problem, but I still feel I would randomly target things. Example being when I target something, turn my camera just a little to get a different view, and release on a huge group of people (that I obviously do not want to be targeted.) Perhaps we could have an option for all 3?

Here is the Reddit thread (I would have posted here earlier but was unable) if anyone wants to read more feedback:

Still don’t understand why we don’t have this option yet. It works extremely well, even in it’s current state.

We need this as an option. Works extremely well and you don’t have to use it if you don’t want to. I really don’t see why such a SIMPLE thing hasn’t been implemented yet.

This topic is 4 month old(I guess), 129 replies and still nothing changed, its look like Anet dont care and not playing their own game

I played Startek online its boring game,BUT their keybord options are amazing you can change what you want,Anet take some inspiration from it!

Instead of remove armor preview for all type of armor you could fix this!

I absolutly support this suggestion, puts me almost in rage sometimes in big fights.
Ruines the gameflow at all.

Easy fix is possible, no hard developer work needed. Thx.

hear hear!! wait, let me say it again!

YES, PLEASE!

Last dev post was months ago. Can we get a comment on this?

Just found this post after giving up on this problem being solved. Glad to know there are others out there, this feels like an occupy wall street moment lolz.

But seriously, please fix this.

I second the OP’s point. But we’ve got different related problems here, playing together:

• Right-click targeting
• Targeting on mouse down / up (both already discussed)
• Non-sticky targeting: target drops on clicks onto non-targetable stuff

Afaik sticky/nonsticky targeting is the established term for this.
Sticky targeting contrariwise means clicking somewhere into the botany does not drop your target. I feel this option would solve the better part of the issue.

January update please?
Almost unbearable in PvP for target skills

Make this happen, this must be the most idiotic feature in MMO’s history, only purpose i can think for it is to annoy the hell out of people.

I also agree, I would like this disabled.

I don’t see any harm in making something like this a tick box in options that we can disable/enable so it pleases everyone

I agree, I tend to always right click a enemy by mistake just trying to look around. Its very annoying. +1

this is probably my only big peeve with this game right now. not just because the function is so disruptive but it’s taking so long to address it. the obvious solution is to make an option like double-tap to evade. however, i have found that once i was aware of this function i started becoming more conscious of my mouse position and even started learning to use right click as a faster way to attack new targets (as opposed to left clicking then pressing 1 or tabbing till i get to that target). i could see how it might work if it didn’t interfere with camera adjustments, but in its present state right-click targeting is more annoying than helpful. so try actually using the right click for all the things it does that you don’t want it to. it may ease your suffering until we get our fix.

This please. It’s such a pain having those random target change in the middle of battle. I don’t want to select anything with the right click NEVER EVER.
If you don’t want to remove it at least give us an option to turn it off because this is really ruining the gaming experience of a lot of people.
Thank you

I have to second this. Remove right click targeting and give us right mouse turn on the spot.
