[Suggestion] Improve TAB key logic

[Claire_Pendragon]

you have 5 different ways to "Tab target" currently.

*0 key on the num pad acts as a "target directly in front of you"
*then you have target nearest to furthest (and its reverse)
*then target nearest enemy
*then target based on previous targets
*and lastly, my favorite, 4 and 6 on the num pad. (Left/right) which cycles through mobs based on what is left/right of the screen.
mixing between 0 and then 4/6, you can usually target what ever mob you want, with a single button press, even if there are 10 mobs on the screen (no mouse needed)

this alone makes me enjoy the targeting in FFXIV, more than any other MMO.

There may be a lot of targeting options, but they aren't useful in their current implementation. To target with the number pad you have to take your hand off either your mouse of WASD, which isn't a good idea in any of the more difficult fights. Tab is the only real option unless you re-bind the number pad to your mouse or something else easy to reach. Target nearest IS nice with the 0 button, but again its so far away, and I don't want a button that just does that - I want the Tab to automatically target nearest, and THEN cycle. It isn't difficult - in fact, it's a common feature in nearly every other MMO ever created.

While there may be many targeting options and there is possibly a way to get it working to everybody's individual liking, they really need to optimize the Tab target system so it is manageable by everybody. There are simply too many options to be bothered most of the time for most people. For myself after messing with the Target Filters and a few different targeting options I saw in the keybind section, I gave up. It's too frustrating. I want one button that does what it should do. I don't want to HAVE to use Tab and Shift+Tab, I want to just use Tab like I can do in every other game and be able to predict what it is going to target just with simple intuition.
