Use of crosshair/cursor to improve targeting accuracy.

[Rongway]

Speaking of which, what's with the camera auto-adjusting to behind my character with the gamepad and I can't turn that off if I'm not using a mouse?

The camera will stop snapping behind you if you turn on Legacy movement.

/characterconfig
Control Settings
General tab
Movement Settings: Legacy Type (Camera-based)

After finding out about mouse over macros, this crosshair suggestion could be used with those macros as well!

Mouseovers don't generally need precision, though. The party list, the enemy list, the arrays for the other two parties in an alliance, your target health bar, your focus target health bar, and your target of target health bar are all valid mouseovers, and they are fairly large stationary objects.
