Rant
Well I am just sick of the camera rotating itself, it is extremely annoying at times, there is a reason why I want to pan the camera to that specify angle, why screw it up for me?
The camera is very likely to auto rotate itself into another point of view when my character is on bridges, or near edges.
Please fix this?
Is anyone else experiencing this problem?
Or am I alone?
End Rant

you forgot most important one is when you being resurected - pisses me off big time...

yes, their should be a way to turn if off.. maybe there is though, but i don't think i have ever seen such an option. At least for pve, not like pvp observer mode, i know it has one.

Un-Signed, just another whining thread
With all the whining Anet just will turn a deaf ear and or be selective hearing when it comes down to all whining. They have better things to do then rework everything because of all the dam whining goes on, on the forums. Remember it's just a game and there is no need for everyone to get all worked up over every little thing.

Well what if it would effect gvg? Then it seems to get a megaphone :P Still not everything is a whine.

@viper008
Your flamebait was uncalled for. Not every suggestion is "whining" and a minor suggestion that could easily improve the gameplay is in no way considered whining either.
@shardfenix
if you obviously don't have a clue what you are talking about, please refrain posting comments based upon nonsense. Bots are seldomly based upon Pixel Detection. Those are usually the Pawn Bots used in the great game of E-Bay Chess. True bots don't even require you to run GuildWars. They log in independently and control everything through direct control of memory.
A rotating camera doesn't even slightly irritate those.
@Topic
There basically is NO reason to not sign this. So basically, signed. Having to downright fight the camera sometimes is annoying as hell. It works out okay sometimes but limits your point of view often enough. And to make things worse, it seems to be totally random at times, bumping up to impossible heights, then going down into the ground, glitching into walls (well partly, so all you see is the wall and nothing else) or mindless spinning and rotating.

The only time the auto rotating camera annoys me is when the placement of enemies on the server doesn't match the placement on the client and frankly then the camera spinning around is usually the first thing letting me know that's happening. I'd rather they fix the client/server sync as standing there unable to even attack the closest enemy is sort of sad.
Still it should probably be an option rather than a fixed thing so...

I absolutely hate wanding monsters on a bridge and the camera keeps aligning itself to my target. Death and ressing isn't as terrible as some say though, but I don't need the rotation.

If you give the option to have it turned off, it would be a very good idea
Zakarr
Where did you got that bot control thing? I assume bots read network traffic to define what is on the screen rather than pixel detection because pixel detection with current knowledge is unrealiable and heavy process.
bilateralrope
Personally I like the auto-cameras aim for the most part. So I can't sign this idea, but I will support the option of turning it off.
Rieselle
The auto camera doesnt work all the time... so in the "on" position, they should fix its auto-ness. I'd also like to be able to turn the auto-rotate off.
However, I think the biggest problem with the camera is how it handles terrain. It sucks when you want to look up and the camera gets stuck on the ground, its also pretty bad when you're backing up against the wall and the camera doesnt handle it very well. Indoor areas will always be a problem until they fix that aspect of the camera.

I use my mouse to control my camera. It is however, annoying when you res and the camera points the wrong way. And this is a really, really small thing. More options are always good.

I also find it annoying. Dont for say take it out of the game, just add the option auto cam on/off.
Or does this exist? I cannot locate it.

my 2 cents..... or an ideal
like GT or the car raceing games you can go to different views. i would to be in view 3 always! The furthest away. some day (ex. dragon day) be in view 2. close but not first person view. but still far enought.
just hate it when it auto zooms you in our out. or you you hit your mouse wheel by accdent.
And yes i know it sucks but when your on your lap top and you can't wheel in our out..... sigh.. touch pad FTW -)

You see, bots are "blind." They do not see anything that is happening. Bots are "recordings" of commands. The 55 farm bot has something like this recorded.
enchants up, turn left, run forward, prot spirit, healing breeze, prot spirit, turn right, run forward.
And these bots rarely die. However, if they do die, they res at the spawn point facing a random direction (because of the camera movement.) Because bots are blind, they cannot see which direction they are facing. Tell me how a rotating camera doesn't affect bots again.
I would sign this easily if bots didn't exist, but arenanet is too stupid to find out how to ban them *cough* go to the towns they farm from *cough*

when i play on my laptop the auto roating camera makes me lag while loading on top of the already slow hdd on laptops the auto rotating camera doesn't help. i've joined games where i waited till it would fully load the area and you could see the battles only to realize the match is already over... its just annoying altogether.... they could aleast just turn the default off from auto rotate when you enter the observation game.
