Oh, it's
worse than that. . .
I like to play two toons at the same time, guess what happens when you go on 'follow' mode
That's right, the smart pivot turns off,,,the camera stays pointed in the last position it was in before you hit follow mode. And there is no way to turn it back on in follow mode. . . lol. . . So, not only can't you turn it off when you want to, it turns itself off when you need it most!
I think I'll stick with WOW, they managed to make everything work right

I do honestly think these things should have been usability tested better before the release, but hopefully they will improve those. They already changed someof the things in options and menus after betas so this fix is realistically possible soon.
