seems to be one to break the mold.

A lot of the more recent MMO's have been doing this one way or the other, some on a large scale and some smaller. While this is admirable, the majority of these things won't work and the few that do are hampered by an angry mob that is used to doing the same way for years.

A good example is the Neverwinter targeting system. Oh great no on-screen mouse just rotate and adjust camera to target!!! Was actually very fun as a DD or DPS, but go try healing someone with that or tanking adds as they run in from all sides of the room. It is horrible... 6-man groups had to bring two healers due to their being no way to be efficient.

ETA: This targeting system would have worked beautifully for GW2 where the trinity does not exist.
