Tab targeting system

You can still play TSW. Your old characters are even still there.

My 2 cents; Funcom TSW’s “relaunch” had one main purpose: sell the games on consoles (like Conan).
The UI got changed so SWL would be easier to control with a gamepad, and the reticle targeting became the default, as well as the only choice. (While in TSW we could switch from tab targeting to the optional reticle).
But afaik, the game never found its way to the console market and is only available for keyboard/mouse users. And yet the Funcom guys, in all their stubbornness, refuse to add tab targeting as an option. They got the code to do that, but still, no. Nope. Never. Why ?

I’d love to say it’s a question of manpower, FC team being busy on Dune, but… here’s an image retweeted by Rui Casais, the Funcom CEO :

I believe the guy retweeted because he found some truth in it. So, where’s the team working on SWL ?
Tbh, I poked the CEO on twitter (and the Funcom Technical QA Analyst), to get some official answer to my annoyances thread. They never respond.
I don’t think anyone at FC even read the forums. Except maybe some moderators, but they just check for bad behaviour, not for ideas/complaints from players.
Maybe I should start another about how Funcom relationship to their customers has deteriorated over the years (yes they were cooler back in 2005-10) .

But for now, SWL players are just milk cows good to buy aurums…

Please @AndyB @Nirvelle could you tell me it’s the normal behaviour ? That everything is working as intended ? Would you so kind to poke the dev team about this ? And remind them tab targeting is a bit more solid than reticle one ?
