Before you say all that, consider how “smart” it is that the BOSS finger the thumb is sitting there doing almost nothing, or using it for jump which is one of the least useful things in the game.
Arrow keys, ahh what a blast to the past <3
Yeah people merged over to WASD as a “standard” for a reason, but if your hands are the product of Cthulhu worship, Arrows are still a valid play style, i remember people tried making the Num-pad arrows mainstream before WASD became the standard, due to more/in-reach keys around the movement ones, WASD won tho, due to “proxy” for covering the whole keyboard when you let go of the mouse, among other reasons. 
That’s not a bad idea, however the problem with modifiers on mice is that if you jump/move about a lot you want the mouse to not be very busy, with the exception of the main fingers on top of it.
Can’t believe 1% of people have problematic hands that prevent them from using the worldwide used configuration

wasd is better than arrows but it’s still a relic. Their true origin is probably FPS games of the era of Quake I/II/III.
The problem with MMOs with those is that those FPS had EXTREMELY few keys so for WoW it’s restrictive.
You can use boss finger not only for jumps, but also for left alt combinations
So if you’re with 2 people and both fall of a cliff, you will follow them. Thanks for this amazing argument on the topic.
Way uncomfortable and you must use asdw and not sdfe in that case which makes the whole thing worse. Where I said it’s already resting there.
It’s objectively a better position because humans have similar hands apart from size so we’re talking about a relic from FPS games here.
honestly i fail to see how it’s restrictive in any way shape or form, especially considering in MMO’s we keybind to SHIFT, CTRL and ALT (thumb does the alt-pushing)
It works exactly as intended, and personally i fail to see any valid reason i would ever change it… Pinky does it’s job marvelously, as does the rest of the fingies 
CTRL and ALT are enough for me. Where ALT is the priority.
So you want to be hand-holded by a proprietary design, because you can’t bind your keys on your own.
That doesn’t seem very pro to me.
The only instrument i play is the Keyboard (pc) But done so for decades now, as most gamers have, hence why it’s a non-issue 
Sorry, i just don’t get where you are coming from saying it’s the “least controllable finger” when the vast VAST majority of people have no issues at all controlling/using it 
There’s a saying: Don’t fix what’s not broken.
I use the finger, but I just find it stupid to use it over the thumb which is extremely more controllable. Where I said the finger is already resting on the modifier so modifying with it is second nature without even trying.
Same goes for the pinky tho, it’s muscle-memory at this point, doesn’t take effort at all 
Maybe not for you obviously, but this is the first i’ve heard of hand related issues apart from carpal tunnel (mouse hand)
That probably depends on the keyboard. I have to bend my thumb pretty far under my hand to get on the alt. CTRL with pinky or ALT with thumb is a comparable action for my hand.
You probably misunderstood the thread being about asdw. Try hjku and then see. In many keyboards thumb is extremely comfy on alt there.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iGquhetZpkY Thumb is used for alt modifiers, lol. Jump used to be more important and can still be important it depends. Either way, my rating and a lot of other peoples rating has been way higher and then raiding too.
I didnt misunderstood that. I still have to bend/stretch my thumb pretty far for the ALT.
Anyway; setups are pretty personal 
MY GOD you are obnoxious…

Truth hurts I know. Thanks for confirming your are incapable to answer with an actual argument, meaning your position is without a base.
