Yeah I pre-ordered then discovered it was WASD only, so got a refund.

You cannot bind certain commands. For some reason they are hard wired which is laughable.
Why does my camera point itself automatically down when I'm fighting? Is there no turning left or right? There's walking left and walking right, but no turning? I paid $50 for this to be issues that shouldn't exist. I have to lift my mouse up to get the view to be normal. What am I not doing correctly?
