It would be really helpful if we could have the abbreviations for the cardinal directions (sw, se, n, etc.) come first in a priority list.

What I mean is, if you type look sw it should first try looking southwest instead of looking at your sword. A lot of newbies make this mistake.

It would also stop us from attacking people in our groups because they happened to choose adjectives that match direction abbreviations. I don't know how many times I've hit someone with a flamestrike because their adjective starts with "se."

Would this be hard to change?

I would lick the feet of the immortal that took the time to change this. (I mean, if they were into this kind of thing). It'd also be awesome if you targeted others before yourself (ie dark-haired half-elf trying to kill a dark-haired NPC flamestrikes themselves, or a gnome magmas himself isntead of another gnome.).

This comes up from time to time and I have to agree. I'd like to see some sort of change to fix this. "Don't get confused when you're trying to aim at that thing a distance away from us and hit me instead."

Oh, the joys of playing a warlock whose name started with "Se". :cry:

Sheesh this was complained about years ago and yet nothing was done about it. Pain in the [REDACTED] typing out the full direction name.

Personally I am against this. First you made it so 'k federrik' wouldn't work and now this... what the hell excuse am I going to use when I 'accidentally' murder my allies?
