There's no way around it, no matter what side you play: Target Forwarding, especially Heal Target Forwarding (HTF) is exclusively a detriment to the quality of PVMP action.
Lets define it and then count the many reasons why it is a serious negative to the quality of PvMP for everyone:
Target forwarding is when you select an enemy or ally and route all your skill plays through said target, such that the skills land on whoever the selected person is targeting. While healing, if you target an enemy and use your heal skills, the heal skills will automatically be routed to the person they are attacking.
Heal-target-forwarding has been and continues to be a cancer on the moors because with absolutely zero effort or thought, all healers can instantly heal any target that is targeted before it even receives damage, rendering most coordination on the offensive side pointless, since there is no major advantaged gleaned from doing a surprise switch.
It also lowers the level of play for healing on both sides to a borderline-afk style of play where blindly mashing green buttons while target-forwarding through a key enemy DPS class or offensive support is the most effective route to healing in larger fights, making play boring for the healer.
Does SSG accept that blind target-forwarding is currently the most effective method of healing in PVMP?
What is even worse is how players are forced to try to defeat HTF: By having one member of your group be in stealth and have every DPS member of the raid target-forward through said stealthed player, who is forced to stay out of the fight and merely call targets.
Does SSG think this is an acceptable to force one group member to sit out the fight because of a broken gameplay mechanic?
For years this has been in the top 10 issues with PVMP for many people, and recently many different players from different background that haven't always gotten along have come to agree that its time for Target Forwarding to go. It is severely impacting the quality of gameplay in the Ettenmoors for both sides.
This is what we ask of SSG:
In short order, please disable Target-forwarding in the Ettenmoors PVMP only.... or eliminate its effectiveness such that the grievances listed above are addressed.
