Patch 1.16a.....

Really? I found the targeting system they put in to be quite useful. I mean being able to target JUST enemies was a godsend especially in Behests and large leve groups.

I thought it was pretty good too. I think people don't like learning new things, even if it's better than the old way. Especially after they're used to doing old way for so long.

It has nothing to do with "learning new things" [subterfuge insult FTW!] it had to do with the fact they removed the up/down party list quick targeting. Prior to patch the up/down was party members....left/right was all targets. This made healing while casting offensive magic very easy. Post patch, you had to constantly change targeting modes back and fourth from "party" to "enemy"[or whatever] or leave it on "all" BUT pressing up/down changed targeting mode not select party members anymore....

in short it was a nightmare for a lot of healers, thank heavens they fixed it, while leaving in the option for the way you guys like it too. OPTIONS ftw!

Why thank you, I try my best!

Anyway, I have no problems with them giving you the option to choose with system you want to use, to each their own. But I just never found it hard to switch between PARTY and ENEMY, then pressing left and right to select your target.

You do realize you can STILL select heals in Enemy targeting, and it only cycles through your party right? So I'm not understanding the problem here. I have no trouble

I see Enemy targeting more of like "Combat mode"

Me too; I really liked the changes they made. However, I have one gripe:

Whoever thought that using left/right was an acceptable way to change between party members needs to be stabbed with a spork. I really hope they give us the choice of using left/right for mode change and up/down for target changes.

I think you're talking about me. In my brain, it makes sense to me that if my party member that I want to cure or use whatever on is on my left, then I should press the left button to select them.

They can be really hard to pick out in large groups, though. I much prefer to scroll up and down the party list - I know exactly how many key presses are needed to highlight the member I want. With left and right, I have a rough estimate that usually isn't accurate due to players I didn't notice standing behind other members.
