"Clickers"

Indeed. It's all a matter of personal taste.

The only time I ever ask the question and bring up the differences is when a guildie complains that they're having trouble with their camera or having trouble responding to something quick enough (like interrupting boss inductions). And yes, I had to ask and press the issue since we have one guildie who has trouble with this. Just once.

Hi all, I use an xbox pad to play, with pinnacle Game Profiler and I'm always on top

I tried that, but 1.) not enough buttons for everything I need to cast/use, and 2.) analog joystick to replace the mouse for the mouse cursor is horrible (there are too many commands that you cannot key bind).

The only time I might ever use a gamepad for an MMO is if I'm grinding and want to switch hand/wrist positions to relax from being on the keyboard and mouse all the time.

No, no, no, no! The point of the game is not to have fun, the point of the game is to tell other people they're doing it WRONG!!!!!ONETYONE!!!

Clicking sucks, end of story.

If you cannot see the efficiency and usefulness of keybinding, you lack logic and intelligence.

More mouse movement, less precision, staring at your ability bar rendering you oblivious to the environment, slower activation of rotation abilities, are just some of the negatives of clicking.

Common sense, if you play a healer and click, what takes longer... clicking the person who you need to heal, moving your mouse across the screen to click the heal, and so on whenever you need to switch targets OR simply clicking the person and immediately pressing the keybind...?

The worst player in your raid is a clicker, the worst player in your warzone is a clicker.

Keybind you fools...

My main problem is that with alts, how do you remember all your 30+ keybinds on multiple toons?

I run four characters total, a Sage and Sorcerer with mirrored builds, and a Commando and Mercenary, also mirrored. So I really only have to remember two.

But if I switch from my Sage to say my Merc, there is always a little ramp-up time remembering which abilities are for what. But after an hour or two of gameplay it all comes back to me. So for those playing alts, I don't recommend switching too often, but certainly not difficult to remember multiple key bindings and such.

lol how can there be a 30 page post arguing about this? i dont care if you're a clicker, if thats how you want to play go for it.

But anyone arguing that clicking is as effective as using keybinds is just flat out clueless.

I'm a clicker, and I will destroy you. I've had friends talking crap about clickers before (in WoW). Then I point out that I'm #1 on the recount ahead of similarly geared dps of the same class, and I click. That's when the crickets come out. I've played both ways. Clicking works better for me. To each his or her own.
