Also generally to whoever stumbles upon this thread in the future: I am still currently playing GW2, It's an amazing game, really enjoying my time and I love my guild. I have tried to get used to the slide thing and it STILL annoys me to this day. Thankfully, I don't have to spend a lot of time on a ground mount in PvP and Raids/Strikes, so I don't encounter it as much. I'm not really playing a lot in the open world, but I'm thinking of investing in getting the Griffon and Skyscale, so I can get into some more of the lucrative meta trains for whenever I'm bored of PvP, my only concern is if the "slide" is significant on the flying mounts as well, I'm gonna lose my mind a little bit.
As for the people who still disregard the video I posted for some reason, give it a watch, look at the "slide" that happens when I abruptly stop camera movement with the mouse while on the raptor. If you don't think that's significant, I will again implore you to compare abruptly stopping camera movement in ANY other MMO and compare it, just to understand the difference. I have confirmed with multiple friends and guildies that this effect IS real and we all understand that it's just how the camera was designed to behave.
Also, the entire point of this thread is simply to suggest and OPTION to turn it off, nothing else, nothing more. I have never said the game is bad, I have never once demanded anything, it is simply a suggestion to the developers of a game I love. I just do not understand how many people are reacting with "confused" emotes and acting weird towards me, I had people in the reddit thread directly attack me personally and DM me nasty things and I just don't understand why. It is in STARK contrast to the amazing community inside the game and I'm just utterly baffled by how such a simple suggestion could trigger such insane responses.
