What's so wrong about the whole group hitting one individual?
If you want to take on a different person then just don't assist
and murder target when the fight starts. In a melee you want to
single out and kill the most dangerous targets and if that takes
sheer force, so be it. I have no idea why people autoassist in
group pks anyway. If it's 3 on 1 fine autoassist, but if it's going
to be a large melee why not plan on who to take out. Have player 1&2 take
out enemy X while player 3&4 take on enemy Y. Walking in and mindlessly
attacking one target is just bad tactics. Sure, you beat on one player
but you leave the rest of the enemy to choose their targets before you
have a chance to react. Randomly selecting a target to hit like the mobs
do makes even less sense. If I'm going to join a fight I'm going to pick
my target. Melee is nasty business and lots of people are going to die.
Changing the targeting for autoassisting isn't going to stop people from
dying. If anything it'll just stop people from autoassisting. Of course
that's not such a bad thing.
