Guild Wars 2

So I recently started playing the game again after being away for a few years. I’m enjoying my time, but one feature that drives me crazy is the auto-targeting. I’ve read threads and it seems most people just advise to turn it off, but I was wondering if anyone has suggested allowing a double-tap option for it.

What I mean is that with no target, pressing an attack key once would select the target (same as now), however; instead of attacking straight away, require a second press of the key to confirm and initiate the attack. Obviously if a target is already selected, the second press wouldn’t be required.

I find that auto-target can be really helpful in many situations, however it always seem to randomly target and attack a non-engaged enemy way off in the distance at the worst possible time. I think enabling an option like I described would allow people to enjoy the benefit of auto-target while reducing much of the frustration it can at times cause.

Hope that made sense. Also, if anyone has other targeting advice to share with a new player, I’d welcome it.
