Controller malfunction

You can go system config > Controller > Button Config > Change L3 to whatever else you want.

Yeah I was going to recommend that as well, what L3 defaults to 'Lock On' is awful. I changed L3 to Assist Target since that makes it super fast to target the same target as another player... just hit arrow up or down to select the party member, hit L3, and its done.

Back on the PS3 version before we could remap L3, this was a huge pain in T1 trying to get to whatever platform started glowing which was usually my job, it was frustrating as hell trying to get there fast as possible and L3 did a Lock On which simply kept me from being able to take a single step forwards or backwards in relation to my target. By the time I'd unlocked on it was too late.

Ya I use L3 just for sheathe (which also acts as dismount from your mount) and R3 for sprint. I hated accidentally going to first person mode with the default R3 setting.

But then again, I play as WHM. Damage dealers should keep l3 as lock on because they need it for some fights or they lose dps from auto attacks.

Yeah... I once locked on to either Bahabutt or the MT while trying to dodge divebombs in T13. It... didn't go too well. It's what pushed me to unbind lock on from the sticks.

The extended Hold functions for the cross bar are life savers to me. Gives you just that many more slots for abilities that you need. It's an amazing feature that I wish other games would take advantage of.

That's not a controller malfunction. That's user error. Also, you can unbind focus target from the click.
