yeah this isn't what I'm referring to. What you're speaking of is more in regards to the auto attack change. I'm talking about how Face Target works as a game setting. Where everytime you hit a skill you will face the target so you can hit it. There is also a command /facetarget which can be bound to a key. I do not know if they are mutually exclusive or not. I don't use the command but I have the setting on in character configuration. This allows me to be on the move and soon as I hit a skill it turns me to face the target and it. (not under wanderer's of course unless using something like feint) So how does this "face target inaccessible while moving" effect this? Imagine not being able to use your straighter shot proc as you move because face target doesn't work while you're moving? Or Hell I play WAR in dungeons sometimes... I over power as I'm moving because the face target game setting (the one in character config) allows me to still hit as I dodge AoE's from packs of mobs.
As some have pointed out in their posts they think this is reference to the command. I have to say I really hope so.
