    game camera doesn't zoom out far enough if you ask me

    you should be max zoomed out if you want to make the most of your situational awareness

    If I kept the camera as close to my character as the default configuration in this game does if I were playing World of Warcraft, I'd never be able to see players coming up from behind me and Shamans would be just out of my FOV so I couldn't see them priming their nukes on me. It would be very difficult to line up Shockwaves that hit more than 2 players very well and decrease the overall amount of strategy I could use to control the movements of my enemies.

    I haven't kept a camera close to my character on purpose since I learned this. Stop admiring your character so much and zoom out. If you want to admire your character, that is what inn rooms or non combat situations are for.

    It isn't always about 'admiring your character'.

    As a BRD I always stay max zoom. Easier to see everything happening around you and to dodge stuff. But as a melee, I normally have to zoom in quite a bit because of all the skills/spells going off on the mob it makes it tougher to see which direction its facing so I can optimize DPS. This probably wouldn't be a problem if horrible tanks would stop moving the mob all over the place, but that's a different discussion.
