    One thing I have noticed is that when I am in party, I am constantly prompted in the middle of combat to leave the group. While I am sure this is user error, I am also sure that this is because the game is not understanding the user input.

    In detail, I am a chronic user of both mouse buttons to move and move the camera. That is a long earned discipline from many MMO's which this game seems to support. But in combat, I am always loosing the target in this game which forces a lot of double clicking. I have been trying to relearn how to play with WASD, but it is hard faught. Most concerning is that not all people will be as dedicated as I to stop using the double button movement.

    The most agrivating part is that when I am teaming with people, I am literally constantly prompted to leave the group.

    I cannot prioritize this in gaming as I do not not have the insight of the developers, but I have almost 30 years developing software professionally and if I am having troubles with this, it just might be something to look at, at least a little.

    I'm going to guess that you are being affected by the (very known) mouse look bug where right-clicking to move the camera causes objects to act as though they were clicked on as they pass under the cursor location. This is also a problem with people who use pets.

    The next release is a week away, a lot of stuff is going to get fixed. (And we will get all new bugs to report! The fun never stops!)

    I agree, it is a nuisance, but also a known bug...

    What I feel is worse is that popups are modal and in the middle of your screen... Let's say I am fighting the Troll to give the rest of the party the chance to sneak past, and the party leader leaves the scene...
    I get a modal popup asking me whether I want to leave the scene too... Nice thought, but while it is up, my avatar is disabled, and before I get a chance to click yes (or no), the Troll attacks and kills me! *Whoops*
