Feature Request - Turn off targeting for small creatures

CaliberSH
CaliberSH
Have you ever been charging into battle, or targeting an enemy, only to fire off a skill or spell and hit some stupid rat or centipede walking just inside the range of your target?

I have. It's annoying. Can we get the option to turn off targeting for these small creatures?

    My favorite is when I run into range to do a Take Flight and go two centimeters in front of me to nuke a rat.

    One of the things I hated during a festivity in the Rift:
    Fight 4 brawlers while being surrounded by neutral people (white outline).
    Accidently attacked someone else and it's a bounty for me!
    (good thing I needed to log out anyway. Time solved bounty for free <3 )

    So yeah, an option to disable "friendly fire" would be nice. You'd have to turn it on again when you want some bait or rob / kill a guy, but it has my vote.

    It's in Settings/Options, just scroll down (like where it says enable health bars and highlight targets). Should just be menu button and scroll to Options (the gear icon). It says "Prevent Attacking Innocents".

    This is more in regards to small critters that get in the way and get targeted, causing people to miss!

    I agree, this setting should be in the game. I hate when I get a crystal frag proc and I end up using it on a stupid frog

    I like the guts for fishing. You eliminate fishing in Lake water with your proposal.

    Where is the end game? You just played it.
    Why don't I have 300+ skill points? Because you skipped content along the way.
    Where is new content? Sigh.

    I believe I said option, but if I did not, let me elaborate. I want the OPTION to turn off targeting for small creatures. Just like there's an OPTION to prevent attacking innocents. :>

    Used to be awesome in PvP when there were deer in cyrodiil.

    Used to be able to take cover in a herd of deer, and also use them for healing with the 9% regen all stats on death on the soul magic dot
