Auto Target Bug?

I didn't see this posted anywhere else and unless someone here has a fix for me This is written at the developers.

Yes the targeting is broken And a lot of times people, (myself included) have trouble targeting an enemy. But recently I'm having a different problem as well.

Here is an example of the problem

When Tapping ranged attack skills, almost 100% of the time as target will die the next shot fires and goes off to hit another target... Sometimes it goes off and hits 2 targets though generally only one actually takes damage. However these are targets that are not selected. with skills that have 100 range sometimes you can shoot targets that are quite far away as well. bringing them running over.

Of course the first thing I checked was to make sure all my auto targeting options are off. But I did notice that when it happens. Its not even auto target... the game just shoots the next guy, they don't even get targeted. So I'm not sure what is going on... I have noticed that the reactions and damage of the second target is horridly delayed as well so perhaps it has something to do with pressing the skills too fast?

Its a major annoyance to finish off one group of enemies only to have another group running at you because your power automatically targeted and shot. This is especially annoying where there are options that turn off auto targets and one that specifically says "Only attack if target selected" I don't really understand what the point of having that option is if it doesn't work at all.

    Yep, that's one of the many targeting issues we have right now. I experience this frequently as well. Can you add ^this post to This thread as well?

    I'm trying to keep targeting issues in the forefront so hopefully we can have them addressed sooner rather than later.

    I think this behavior was added with F2P. When you start the tutorial, there is an info box that tells you the game tries to guess who you intended to target if you have no one targeted. It is unfortunate that this behavior overrides your targeting settings.

    ...and fires an umprompted shot of it's own. And it's always just one shot.
