select target was in game since the start of eu or near to it.
around 2years ago select target broke out where only few people was using it before that.
then everyone started to use it.
it got a lot of hype and exploded and wasent long as more and more was using it each day to compete.
after a long time it never got fixed, changed, or removed
it was labeled as a grey zone and never said it couldent be used for hunting or pvp.
hunters use it as I understand it as well as PvPers so alot had to link one..or 2
wss cried and made excuse for select target is why they lost lgs but they use it to keep lgs.
to my understanding and I wont touch on the current defenders of landgrabs other then it also became known how to defend against this select target around the same time wss lost landgrabs.
get a pet and let it follow behind you because there select target will also hit the pet.
if your select target hits the pet and not the player you have only yourself to blame for using select target and having poor fps skills.
if I had to guess the current defenders played respectably but we all learned how to defend against the select target.
people using select target can miss shots when the pet moves in the way and/or takes the hit.
select target only hits players/pets/mobs and a pet is a good defense to have against it.
we all learned early on after it became hyped up.
select is ok to use and I have not seen anything to suggest that it is not. however I will keep my select target defense/pet close behind me when I run if you do not use select target to shoot then the pet that follows behind me should not matter as much.
