"Clickers"

While I will agree that keybinding is better, clickers can move with WADS and strafe with QE while clicking. So, 0% is incorrect unless my keyboard is special.

This is a joke right?

Did you just imply that back pedaling AND keyboard turning are successful methods of control in a pvp environment?

Gotta be a joke.

Same way you learn anything: Practice and memorization.

You make decent points, but the main reason we say movement is more efficient and easier with the mouse turning is for scenarios in which you need to strafe run, turn at times, and cast.

Yes you can strafe and cast if you are a clicker, but strafe, cast and turn becomes awkward and difficult.

You can strafe and click, I'm going to fraps it tonight when I get back home.


However, I know some amazing players that click but all in all, your skill will improve if you key bind, if nothing, your imput will improve just by a bit which will make your life a lot better especially in small fight situations.

If you don't think it's a big deal then why did you start a thread about it?

Play however you like. If you are having fun, you're doing it right.

Burn!

I've actually tried before in WOW, but it was several years after playing as a clicker and it just felt weird and clumsy to me. I kept hitting the wrong spells or hitting the wrong movement keys when I'd bring my fingers back down after hitting a spell. Plus I felt like I had to look at my keyboard way too often. It was one of those things were I knew I'd probably benefited from it if I'd just stick with it, but because clicking had always worked for me, I switched back and have been clicking ever since. I may try again one day, but for now, what I do seems to work fine.

So. Just out of curiosity, did anyone consider that you can watch the action on the screen, and still see the action bars in your peripheral vision. As well, you can see where the mouse is in relationship to them? You don't have to keep your eyes glued to the bar to click. Just sayin'. Some people have that awareness of their peripheral vision, some don't.

Just like some people are really good at touch typing and can keybind without a problem. And some people can't remember the keyboard to save their life.

The only fact you can argue is that a great clicker is a great clicker, and a great keybinder is a great keybinder. No one has any ground to stand on to say that the keybinder MUST be better than the clicker. Not yet, at least.

When/if the top 20 PvPers in ranked warzones say they are all clickers or all keybinders, then I'll consider that one way may be better than the other, and that anyone has a leg to stand on in this argument.

Until then, there is no evidence one way or the other to show which one is better. Any way you argue it, all you can say is "I think X is better" because quite frankly, you don't know.

And if you do know, show me some actual proof, at which point I will concede the argument and change to that method to better improve myself.

I'm only going to say these two things one time.

The first thing i'm going to say is,, LET THE PEOPLE PLAY WHATEVER WAY THEY WANT TO.
It's a game. I see no problem with people being clickers. It's their way of playing, what does it matter to you?

"But clicking is bad, you're gimping yourself" SO?!?!? There's probably 5 times more people key-binders than there are clickers, yet the absolute "crop of the crop" if you permit me to use this expresion, is less than 5% of the playerbase. And in that 5% there are clickers as well.

So at the end of the day what does it matter? As long as the person is doing it right, it's right. That's like the math teacher scolding you in school for using a different method to solve the problem, than the one thought in school. Doesn't matter. you solved the problem!

I've had my fair share of server firsts and top 200 parses and im a key-binder.
But here's the catch. One of the people in my guild had top 30 parses, and ....he was/is a clicker. A clicker outperformed me. and half the guild, in a guild going for server firsts every single patch/expansion with half the guild with top 100 parses.

The second thing is this.
Klicking is statistically worse than key-binding.
Yes it's true. We all understand that and it won't change.
However here's the shocker, statistically speaking, there are FAR MORE bad key-binders than there are clickers.
For every one bad clicker, you have like 10 bad key-binders.

So why does it really matter how the person is playing as long as he is showing results?
And even if he doesn't show results. who cares?
As long as the person is not trying (does not want) to complete the hardest content available, it doesn't matter.
If he's a "bad" (and do take into account the quotations) he will be limited in what he can accomplish until he improves to the point it is required of him.
If he doesn't improve and is still bad at the end of the day, newsflash, he won't be getting a spot in that raid/operation/flashpoint/you-name-it , REGARDLESS if he is a clicker or a binder.

So stop bashing each other. You're being ridiculous... especially the binders.
