    More camera options please - Left or right

    I think they should include the option to move a camera left or right, not just up and down. Doing this will give an over-the-shoulder view found in a lot of games. We can already do this if we lock-on to a target. But it shouldn't be limited to that.

    What are you talking about?

    Serious question. I can spin the camera in circles for an entire fight if I wanted to. Maybe that's a legacy camera control option only. Yet another reason why legacy is way better than standard if that's the case.

    The *only* "bonus" legacy camera has, is preventing you from backpedaling.

    That's it.

    In fact, that's why I use it. That's literally the only difference...

    And please god no over the shoulder camera. Only a few MMOs do it and it's annoying as hell there. *cough* ESO reticle targeting ala TES games *coughs*

    They mean to move the cameras viewpoint position. Not just direction.

    I'd like more camera options purely for the purposes of letting us get screenshots of ourselves from angles that don't have our character center frame, but in terms of gameplay the current camera options work good. In the end though, I'll always side with more options, because this is a living world, and people deserve to live in it how they wish. If it wasn't for the fact that it makes seeing ground AoEs in the midst of combat practically impossible, I'd honestly be playing in first person because I prefer the view point of it....
