What do you do when walking / running / riding toward another character?

Necrotech_Master

i never really thought about it, but i definitely dont really pay attention, if im just running around by myself, i tend to do my best to almost ignore the people around me

i probably take more care to avoid the NPCs and enemies than i do other players lol

Whenever possible I go around them and any pets.
For me oddly it feels rude not to?
Kinda like running through someone like they don't exist. The dismissiveness of it.

I also don't like running up to a trader\banker\quest giver, etc if there are others there and standing between them and the NPC. I always try to stand off to the side in my own space so I'm not crowding in front or on top of others.

I know there will be times when it's just not possible. In those cases it doesn't bother me, but if I have the choice I always try to stay in my own space.

Just a weird hang-up of mine.

Generally try to go around.

Only time I intentionally go through is people duelling in the middle of a busy city. Sometimes I'll even stop in the middle of them because it annoys me.

Mostly swerve or try to jump over them.

Cazador

I swerve around. I know it isn't the case here but other games have other players count as solid objects and I'm just used to that.

Generally, I avoid the person, however with 2 exceptions (I then intentionally run over instead):
- When one stands in middle of a tight passage and/or door.
- When one has followers at a service. From time to time, I even stand on him/her They probably don't care at all, but it's a good feeling for self.

Pretty much this. I run straight into (and through) them like I'm playing Mount & Blade. Get out da way.

I tend to go around people and dismount in crowded areas rather than ride through them, but only when there's nothing going on. During events or on the way to dark anchors and stuff I don't worry about it.

I go right through them most of the time. Sometimes I move out the way especially if we're running side by side

I like to do a little side to side swerve as a hello too. Like a d a d a d (left right left right left right)

Maybe stop and do a circle before riding off to my destination

Also: I like to, as I'm opening a door, move my character back away from the door before it loads me to the other side. Just a tap on s after clicking e on the door, don't hold too long, and it won't cancel the door load.

I try to swerve past them (or jump over, if on a mount--though I find that ruder for some reason ), unless I see them at the last moment and my reflexes fail me, or momentum carries me.

Just keep running, just keep running, just keep running...
