I think it would cause problems then it would solve. Imagine being in a fight and clicking somewhere to move, but your character does not move in that direction because pathfinding algorithm found an obstacle and made your char go around.

Ultima does it well. So why not make it here?

It works just great in Dota. And it is prety mush one big fight in there.

I for one do not support the addition of path-finding, makes fleeing more interactive.

Sevenless: We already know real life has some pretty shitty game mechanics, it's why we're here instead.
Avu: The end is near it has finally come to pass: I agree with Lunarius...
Shubla: There are also other reasons to play this game than to maximize your stat gain.

Maybe. At some point. There's a fair bit to it.
