Disassociate "open menu" from double-clicking left mouse button.

[echoelman]

The game would become a lot more mouse-friendly if double clicking didn't launch your cursor to the bottom-left hand corner of the screen and pop open a menu.

Why not just remove that "feature" and save it for the keyboard/controller?

FFXI is primarly a mouse+keyboard game, but it would be nice on occasion to the use the cursor to select something instead of tabbing or pressing a function key.

Take your hanfd off of the mouse and unplug the controller.

seriously, all you need to play ffxi is the keyboard. It's one of the reasons I love FFXI.

I agree do NOT move the mouse cursor when a menu appears.

No. You can play with a gamepad only. Or a mouse only. Or a keyboard only. Or any combination of the three. I prefer gamepad + keyboard. But you may not. And you may love something, others may not.

So don't tell people how to play.

BTW... I bet a TON of $$$ or GIL that you do not know how to zoom in and out on the map screen.

I knew this whm once who targeted everything with the mouse, probably the worst player I had ever had the misfortune of playing with.

sure I know how to zoom in and out on the map screen, it's the same as zooming the camera normally - how does that relate to me thinking the mouse is only a hindrance.
plus I said "need" as in: you can use a controller/mouse too, but the bare minimum the game requires is a keyboard.
