In voidstar a few minutes ago, a jedi shadow is capping the door, oh noes. Walk into range, staring directly at him

*tab*

congratulations, you have just targeted the sage who is barely on your screen.

*tab*

Now you are targeting the Vanguard who is chasing you in an attempt to defend the cap

*tab*

*** a sentine!?!?! where the hell is he, I don't even see him!

*tab*

finally the shadow.

*permastun to dead before I can use any abilities*
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUU UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU. ....

you get the picture. Fix please.
The difference between madness and genius is measured in degrees of success.

Easy solution:

Set your middle mouse to "Target center screen"

It works very nicely indeed.

This kind of thing shouldn't be needed. I like the way you can tab/ shift tab between 2 people but general tabbing is a disaster.

They need to just change it to tab nearest which is covered from you outwards in a cone.

indeed. the fix isn't that complex.

but they do have time to make a cooldown overhaul so you can choose the color of the shade to be pink.

seriously...

less cosmetics, moar core issues.

You would think it's not complex, but the answer from BW during the guild summit was an irritated (paraphrasing) "yeah we know it sucks, maybe we can do something about it, I dunno, a bigger box to click on... we'll think about it. It's not important."

A most disappointing answer.
