    I guess the IQ of people playing this game is dropping by the second...
    It's not about ALT+Click , if it was or it was not there and how people dealt with it or with the lack of it.
    It's about a feature that was in-game and got screwed up because of a "in training" developer "working" on the code.
    To the "defenders" of the old ways: why don't you guys just g t f o the forum and go outside play in the sand with a bucked and a couple of sticks for about 3 weeks? World sure found way to amuse itself before MMOs were available.

    Autopath and quest finder aren't features that are really useful to a lvl 100...but are a life and time saver for lowbies playing this game. It's a good thing, it's something that helps, it's something every decent game out there has.

    I understand why people complain about it not existing anymore. What I don't understand is the high lvl idiots venting their frustrantion on this game on the one's that still have a lot to learn about this game.

    Absolutely agree

    I don't see why this concern about Players' Laziness cars where invited for make you people not to walk for miles you known?

    Its a feature,I don't remember any QQ about when it was released,no one saying"omg with this feature now players will be so lazy qq qq QQ",now that someone is asking to bring it back(Since there is no apparent reason why it should be disabled),there some"cool old-players-who-just-teleport-in",that QQ and call others lazy.

    Stop using Cars/motors and start using Bicycles since you're so cool and don't need features that only makes you save unnecessary time and clicks

    Okay. Okay you know what? Since everybody is too much of a baby to concede both parties are right in this argument, Imma ****in' do it for you and you can all shut up and GTFO and let this really stupid thread die.

    1) Auto-path to instances was a working feature and there was no need to get it removed. I understand this argument and agree with it. Nothing has changed because you can still auto-path to that instance, it just takes five seconds longer to go onto the map and alt-click. Yeah, they 'fixed' something that didn't need to be fixed. The devs are morons. We get it. Shut up. We've known the devs do this for a while now.

    2) On a similar note, let me repeat something I said in point one.
    Nothing has changed because you can still auto-path to that instance, it just takes five seconds longer to go onto the map and alt-click.

    And this is the other reason this thread is stupid. You can still auto-path to an instance and if you are complaining that you can't auto-path to BH you are wrong. You clearly know where the instance is (and were clearly too cheap to use the illusion stone, which still works and would take you there instantly for a tiny fee) so why in god's name can you not just open the map, go over the dungeon (again, you already know where it is if you're complaining about BH) and alt-click over it?

    Holy **** are you auto-pathing once again to your BH? YOU ARE.

    Short of having broken fingers or a brain that simply doesn't function at all there is no excuse for you to sit here and complain you can't auto-path to BH any more. You can, it takes only five seconds longer to do so, you have lost NOTHING.

    3) If you're doing an FB and don't happen to know where your monsters are? Ask somebody.

    4) Every single one of you can stop treating this issue like it's god damn rocket science. That means both parties on this side of the argument, kthnx.

    Guess what?! I like posting in annoying colors too

    HOWEVER, I did not know that abaddon was fb89 and how amazingly difficult it must be to navigate in oht

    Back in the day we didn't have auto pathing (I played then as well) and we lived. Now we have people that QQ over something that is trivial because they are to cheap to cough up the illusion stone money

    Yea, my bad. Abbaddon is fb 99 (you can crucify me now). Annoying colors?? Dunno, but purple is REALLY visible for me. Switch your lights on LOL.

    Why are people defending PWE on this? This is something that worked before. They broke it. Period, end of discussion.

    Is it a showstopper? No, of course not. Does it seriously ruin gameplay like some of the other things they've broken? No, of course not. But why wasn't it just left alone? Why should something so simple fail when it did work and quite honestly really should work whether or not you think it's important?

    EXACTLY. +9000
    to all of those who say no to every damn little thing ppl post here in forums,

    if youre so conservative, that you would play forever in this all **** settings, go die, stop flame ppl about the things they suggest, trying to change the world and making it better b:laugh

    Nice suggestion:) Please follow what Amencat said:)))
    If they are making a legite suggestion than place it in the Suggestions area.

    People will get flamed garanteed if they are QQing over something that is not needed and just adds to laziness.

    It may have worked but without it many people feel like they are blind mice running around Perfect World.

    You clearly have no clue. This is no NEW suggestion. Read more and you will see that the arguing is about fixing something that got broken recently. Ty for your attention.

    Sometimes I wonder how many such posts (above) need to be written for people to understand what is going on. +666 to last quoted fragment.

    good old days are long gone.
    Good old days were when there were 6 ancient arbors on the server and one of them was mine.
    There was no BH and I had no idea there is a WQ...
    Good old days were the ones when spending days/weeks at fishes or butterflies to lvl was as common as a sneeze when you have a cold, and availability of those spots was announced in faction and passes from one squad to the other.
    "looking for squad for fishes" was popping up in faction chat every 10-15 minutes.
    Those are gone.
    Now you have hypers/oracles and FC.
    Adapt or quit.

    I know right? I remember when there was no quest finder even. lol People still managed to find most of their quests.

    God I remember that Quest Finder. *hits Find Quest* "NPC (Coords) is looking for you." b:chuckle

    WQ without auto path was entertaining. Fly at a high altitude in a direction, come back to your screen and notice you overshot your destination. Click another direction, repeat until you get to your destination.

    Whether or not the change was intentional, I'm unsure of. I never really clicked a NPC to go to it, just auto pathed via alt+click to the dungeon. If it was "working properly" and then "broken," then yes they should fix it. Is it really that important? No, not really.

    You shouldn't be flying to BH in the first place. In the time it takes for you to fly there, you could have grinded more than 10K.

    The problem with people these days is that they have no real clue just where their quests will lead them because they didn't bother to pay attention.

    When I was your level on my first char, we didn't have the ease of autopathing to the green name, in the quest log. I won't claim to know the world like the back of my hand, but I at least know where I have to go to all of the instances, Secret Passage, Nightscream Island, the Cave of Sadistic Glee, and Heaven and Hell.

    If you find yourself lost, ask for directions or do what I had to do and look it up.
    ^ It's not really that hard to just memorize the main instinces that you will have to go to, and its very simple to alt+click where you need to go, but there will always be lazy people who want everything spoon-fed to them. Its not hard, stop complaining.

    A good moderator should:
    - Have the computer skills necessary to handle forum-related tasks (Web skills, basic programming)
    - Be patient to handle all sorts of requests
    - Be level-headed to keep discussions and some petty squabbles in check.b:cool

    hehehe, nice analogy.

    Anyways.

    A fresh reminder as to the original QQ from the OP.

    Complained that he could not auto to the entrance to their BH. Secondly could not Auto to mobs/bosses in instances.

    Both reasons of pure laziness. Everyone arguing the fact that they are upset its broken for the sake its broken now then its understandable since why fiddle with it if theres nothing wrong.
    tatuaje: grinding mobs and zhenning ???
    frankieraye:All right, I admit it, it's a bit retro. lol.

    As Airyll mentioned, I concede that both sides have a valid argument. There was nothing wrong with the autopath before, so why does it appear to be broken now? Very reminiscent of the UI that was fine the way it was before... And TW... And most of the game for that matter, imo.

    On the other hand, I haven't even noticed any problems with my autopath. Probably because I got to lvl 77 with none. I liked the old days better. I bet autopath alone raised the leveling rate 1.5x.

    Now if we only had autoloot, so you automatically picked up all drops from a mob you killed, laziness could transcend to the next level...

    Okay. Okay you know what? *stuff*

    God I remember that Quest Finder. *hits Find Quest* "NPC (Coords) is looking for you." b:chuckle

    lol, yeah.... So many newer players wouldn't even play if they reverted back to the old system. Too funny. 'OMG I actually have to FIND my quest mobs? I'm done goodbye PWI"

    WQ without auto path was entertaining. Fly at a high altitude in a direction, come back to your screen and notice you overshot your destination. Click another direction, repeat until you get to your destination.

    Alt-Clicking the Wold Map is quicker than using autopath for world quest. Just hit 'M' click on the general location, then alt-click. It's easier than hitting Q then 'find quest' then clicking repeatable quests' selecting the volume and then clicking the NPC name.

    Whether or not the change was intentional, I'm unsure of. I never really clicked a NPC to go to it, just auto pathed via alt+click to the dungeon. If it was "working properly" and then "broken," then yes they should fix it. Is it really that important? No, not really.

    Autopathing is really nice. However there was something to be said about the game before everything was put in easy mode. Next major update you'll have your own bot, and all you need to do is log in, click 'Play" and it will start auto-completing everything for you... you can watch it like a movie. lol
    I post in forums. This one and others. That's why I post.

    QQ-ing about this is really pointless.How hard can it be to know where your BH bosses are.Given that you do your BH regularly which most of you do now,you should be extremely familiar where your BH bosses are.

    ...Really? Here's a tip for you: Stop being lazy and just alt click on the map if you want to autopath. The thing has spoiled too many...

    Altertnatively you can either go manually yourself or you could use the Illusion Stone for easier access.b:bye

    some of us who aren't slaves to pw dont know or remember where everything is. auto-path helps
