Innovating: Get Rid of Tab Targeting

One of the main reasons I play this game is because it uses tab targeting. Removing it is hardly innovating, many new MMO's have moved to action combat. In my opinion, those games end up resulting in button smashing.

AND that is why I like XIV's combat system, it's not a button mash = win but more like use a GCD while weaving OGCD in between. Skills like Dark arts and Life surge is just a few examples.

A few people don't like XIV's combat due to it being too slow and they think it's a bad thing I don't see it that way. Not everything has to be fast to be good.

Mouse targeting abilities in MMORPGs is also a good system too. All they need to do with tab targeting in FFXIV is make it smarter, make it stop focusing in the stuff 50 malms away and target the one in your face.

How does healing work without tab targeting? Would they get rid of it? Would it be strictly AE-based?

TERA uses healing and mouse targeting, it is very interesting. best to test it out before you head straight into a dungeon.
