Tip: Situational Awareness - What's around you

One of the biggest problems I see is people who don't typically keep a watch on things that are going on around them. One reason is that they are probably zoomed in too close in an almost First Person mode. This may be great for FPS games, but not for an MMO.

In order to get a better perspective, try the following: Escape -> Interface -> Camera -> Max Camera Distance [SET TO FAR!]

There is yet another trick you can do to help ensure you have an even better birds eye view: /console cameraDistanceMax 50

This should help you stay aware of your surroundings. You can zoom in and out (stay all the way out IMHO 99% of the time) with your mouse wheel. It will, of course, revert you back to a more close in shot when you are in tight quarters and there's no way around that.
