While in auto combat my Avatar automatically murders all rabbits on sight.

While in auto combat, my Avatar automatically murders all rabbits on sight. Basically, it would be great if I didn't murder all the friendly wildlife basically anything that doesn't inherently pose a threat I don't think I should auto attack it. Wolves and bears I'd say they usually do but rabbits, deer, and I haven't really seen it happen with horses but they all fall under the I don't need to auto kill them.

 

This is as designed, sadly for the rabbits.

 

I accidentally killed the quest npc in The Clink because of this. I don't think it should target neutral npcs.

 

It also auto attacks and wastes arrows shooting at practice dummies. Pressing T turns auto-attack on and off easily.

 

Yeah it would be nice if we could not target neutral targets

 

Killing neutral targets due to a "As design" is just terrible.

 

Should just not shoot mob that we ahve not targeted. Flawed design .

 

@AshnakAGQ All NPCs in The Clink can be killed by design. This is not true for all scenes, but The Clink was designed so that if you kill an NPC, it disrupts your Virtue path.

 

Using Auto attack is not the best option for Archery, you will provide more damage and use fewer arrows if you use charged attacks.

 

I don't do archery I do magery and blades lol.

 

This! Many times over.

We should be in control of our avatars.

 

I think it's to make you think twice before enabling auto-targetting.

 

I didn't see anywhere an auto-target option. I checked for an auto-attack thats not the same

My avatar shouldn't attack anthing until i say so

 

As this thread appears to be turning into a feedback thread, I'll help it along to the appropriate forum. Thanks!

 

It just needs to be consistent. If the combat mechanics have lots of AoE splash or ranged attacks aggressively seek out and find targets, then the game mechanics shouldn't penalize people for hitting an extra target.

Many games focus on one or the other. Over the course of it's existence WoW transformed from a game built around precise targeting to one built around AoE.

 

You can't just move all teh bugs you don't want to fix to feed back
