Why is the GUI so freaking cumbersome? You go to target and it takes 3 or 4 clicks to get a mob targeted especially if your moving. No auto run? When moving stuff in your pack around it doesn't auto scroll down so if you want to move it from the top to bottom or vise versa you have to pick it up put it in a spot (usually where you already have something) then take the mouse and scroll the pack up/down and then move it again! Do your dev's get brownie points for making the gui irritating and frustrating to use? The characters turn like your steering a car instead of a person, you have to use your mouse and your keyboard to make a simple turnaround? The mail is 1hr to deliver items?? And you can't copy and paste a name so you have to type it over and over again if sending your alts something? The graphics and game play are very entertaining but if anything will eventually get me to say to H with this game it's the GUI! Sheesh make it less frustrating please!

    Somethings are a little wierd, but every game has wierd GUI choices....
    My character turns very well, like a person... No idea why you are having problems turning.... to autorun, click on the sky towards where you want to go and there you go... we also have auto-path, you may want to try that.
    Too often we loose sight of life's simple pleasures. Remember, when someone annoys you, it takes 42 muscles in your face to frown, BUT, it only takes 4 muscles to extend your arm and slap that mother#$@%#^! upside the head.

    Some things are a little weird? Exactly my point here!

    This is the suggestion box hence I'm suggesting that "some things" should be made not so weird!

    The targeting stinks, absolutely reeks! I've failed heals on people cause the targeting stinks and clicking their name is not always responsive, sometimes have to click that 2 or 3 times as well to get a person targeted and by then they are dead and irritated with me cause my cleric didn't get the heals off!

    And on the character turning you have 2 options. One is your character makes a 90 degree turn everytime you try to turn or you can turn in a wide circle if your use AD keys checked. In most of the newer mmorpgs your character will turn in one spot if you are not moving forward or backward. It is such a better arrangement.

    Note: I haven't tried auto pathing. But now that you have mentioned it I will do that. But if it takes much to set up it still won't replace just hitting a key to stay in run mode and key to turn it off!

    Yes actually you can. Haven't you ever right clicked on someone's name and saw the 'copy name' option? Just window out of the game, type your alts name, select its name and press ctrl-c and when you're ingame press ctrl-v to paste it. That easy.

    I find the GUI is getting more irresponsive, whether by netlag or what. I don't know really, but the interface and controls just seem very clumsy....

    Actually I would appreciate these things more than an expansion
