Tab Target System has been hindering the game since launch. Yes, again.. we have to.

[RevenSix]

If you just want the closest target then yes, its easy. But most of the time that's not what you want.

I use 2 buttons to target on my mouse, one that selects the closest one and the other that cycles from nearest to farthest. This, plus cone option is the best setup that I have found and it still works poorly compared to any other TT system where you only need 1 button.

This issue becomes way more apparent in PvP since the targets aren't just brainless bots with predictable movement patterns, but, it is still very annoying in PvE. When stuffs moving faster you're seriously out of luck.
Want to target a mob in the middle of a cluster to make sure you AoE properly? Out of luck. Want to target one of the mobs that you know is going to cast something you need to interrupt? Better start cycling as earlier as possible or you might as well forget it. Want to target someone or something to teleport to, shirk to, buff, whatever...? Better make a macro and pray you got the right positions because if you don't not even the macro can help you.

All this coupled with the fact that to simple mouse click a target to select it is also extremely clunky. If said target is not alone and is in a cluster, good luck fighting the hitbox pixel battle to be able to select what you want.

SE is a multi billion dollar company and XIV is currently the most played MMO in the world. They got loads of talent working on this. How can it be that basic things like the TT system has not been fixed yet? I think its fantastic when we want to defend the company that makes the product we love, but everyone should always be happy to see that product improve. We all win here.

I really hope they do something about this for Dawntrail.
GG to you all!
