Also, taking out the auto-targeting would not change the combat system and would alleviate much frustration for me at least.
Without auto-target - the combat would change completely. How would the game know who you were aiming for and what you were trying to attack? You need a target system - and with a pure "lock-on" system, it would be impossible to move between targets so fluidly.
The current system isn't perfect, and I suppose they could tweak sensitivity a bit - but I don't see how removing auto-targeting would improve it. Quite the opposite.
What I would like, though, was for the target lock to stay on even when moving out of range.
