    I constantly switch between them. I may have a pattern I use subconsciously but I really don't think about it that much. I've played this game so long, I naturally switch

    3rd person for everything but climbing mountain.

    I know a guy who plays exclusively in 1st person and so didn't notice that his nyzul group had played a joke on him with someone else logging on to him and removing all equipment but weapon, he didn't have a clue till they told him lol.

    I removed the 5 button off my numpad for a few months so that I'd never go into first person, replaced it after I had trained myself never to hit it well enough. I could never even fathom attempting to play this without seeing my character and everything around him 360 degrees

    The only thing I 1st person for is to line up something precisely for navigation or screenshots or to fix a bugging-out camera (double tap the view key)

    3rd person. I just use 1st person to turn around rapidly. Also, 16:9, it lets you see more!

    I DAT-swapped myself. Even before that, I was a pretty Mithra. This is my WAR:

    Same here.

    Anyone else wish this was a real-world option, to switch to 3rd person view while driving or walking around, though? Need to set up a backpack+camera rig with giant goggle glasses, I bet it's possible.

    Everyone knows hitting the POV key while in Mog House layout mode switches your camera perspective, right?

    for running around/sleeping things on blm, 3rd person

    for HNM standing fights on whm or when watching for stun, 1st person. For some reason I think it helps me to watch for TP moves when I have less in my line of sight.

    3rd person always so I can constantly look at my sexiness.

    3rd person most of the time, but subconsciously switch to 1st person depending on certain tasks.

    First person for positioning, third person for everything else. Thought about playing in first person, but being able to see the "insides" of a character right behind/on top of you tends to creep me the hell out.

    First person unless I want a nice scene. It's just simpler to navigate / easier to control for me.

    Normally 3rd, but i use first at the Whitegate AH and some other situations at HNMs or something of the sort to reduce lag; like on Fafhogg's feet, for example.
