I'm afraid I have to disagree that the escape key is awkward as a kb/mouse (WASD) player. It's the go-to key to back out of menus, so I spam it all the time at the leve counter. It's already considered to be a 'cancel' key. Plus, it's already a standard cancel-spellcasting key in other MMOs.

But, for people that feel the same way you do and for our controller users, I agree that it should be a bindable (resassignable key). But I think it should be escape by default.
