Please give us an option to prevent attacking stuff like rats, spider, etc.

I'm referring to those 1 HP mobs that usually drop baits when you kill them... Normally I can avoid attacking them accidetally, but it's very annoying when you're targeting a mob in the distance for a shield charge, only to have your character charge at a random rat or spider you didn't spot in the dark.

Or just turn them into "gathering nodes" like those fleshflies you see in some areas, where you can choose to interact with them to kill them and gather their loot

Think of it as being more realistic. Let's say you're tracking a deer, you aim with your bow or rifle and at the last second a turkey runs out in front and catches the shot and feathers go flying...

Ah, the number of times I've gap closed a centipede.... He never knew what hit him. Mrs Centipede's a widow, little baby centpedes left without a father.

Yep it does happen. I've had many a wasted heavy attack

As annoying as it is i find it funny.

Mid combat Its going off you drop the Meteor and there's a squeak off to the side

But those are all of the best tasting things no?

Apart from a delicious fishie of course!

Many times when I'm on the prowl, charging up a heavy attack to hit an enemy ahead of me, the fireball suddenly flies off to the left of me and kills a random spider that was just sitting there...

"I saved you from that monstrosity, random enemy. Yw!"

Staff light attacks might take a curve to hit the critter behind me.

Ohh all those times I accidentally pressed R while searching crates and dropped freakin METEOR on freakin spider. Fun times.

And to prevent occasional stealing! In KCD, for example, player should press and HOLD key for some time in order to steal an item. The best solution I ever seen in such games.

TheShadowScout

I have often wished those critters could not be targeted while an hostile mob was in the general vincinity... alas...

Kadoin

But if that happens, how will I use them to strategically defend myself in PvP zones?

No. You must accidentally WRECK that rat with your single target ultimate. The gods demand it.

There's an add-on that does that but can't remember it's name

They are cleverly placed Ultimate Eaters used by the evil enemy to weaken your attack.

Kagukan

Darn it! Is usually followed by a laugh when this happens.

Starlock

Just the other day I was adventuring on my newest character. She was sneaking up on an enemy to club them over the head. Enter the wind up swing... and.... instead she hits a freaking rat. The hagraven turns, screeches, and me the player just rolls me eyes and goes "yeah, because I TOTALLY intended to sneak attack that rat for 50k damage on an uppercut instead of the hagraven... urgh."

WeerW3ir

Well.. the auto writcrafter addons actually stopping you from stealing. So there must be something for this too.

RaddlemanNumber7

Targetable critters? I blame the fisherfolk

I love when my meteor hits a critter.

Feric51

And yet AoE's don't kill them.

Love laying down Lightning Splash and/or Wall of Elements then halfway through the rotation one of my single-target spells connects on the spider in the middle of all that storm.

Many of them give bait to catch the fishies.
Need more baits!

Nooo, sometimes you need to nab items quickly! Although it is a problem for items sitting out, not in a container, that one may accidentally pick up if the NPC that you’re trying to interact with moves right as you click.

Sometimes I want my AOE to kill all the spiders or whatever. I am trying to harvest the stuff, but targeting them alone is a pain. AOE does nothing however....

It is annoying that an attack takes a poison or enchant use though that will require a later recharge. At least disable that. Though it definitely is annoying when a big mob makes it to me because I targeted a spider instead of it after aggroing it.

No addons for console.

Stealing when trying to interact with someone (quest giver, guild vendor, etc.) is idiotic.

I'd be very happy as I prefer the turkey over venison.
