Please remove characters auto-running after completing a main quest objective; it's extremely annoying, especially when doing a combat-based quest that has multiple objectives and having your character constantly putting their weapons away. Also, half the time my character just starts auto-running straight ahead and doesn't follow the quest navigation anyway. It's also annoying/weird how inconsistent this is as well; some quests trigger auto-run, while others (still part of the main quest), don't.

It's just PA playing the game for you. 

Don't you like Big Brother leading you along, pulling your strings like a Master of Puppets?

You only start auto running if you press T to autopath. It does not happen if you complete a quest objective (at least it hasnt happened to me on my 30+ characters that I made and quested on)

That's the weird thing, it was definitely doing it automatically while going through the Balenos/Serendia/Calpheon main quests with a brand-new character. It's some weird new update that got added sometime in the past month or so since the beginning of the season (since I didn't have it happen with my season character)

Also I submitted a ticket about this and just got the "your feedback will be considered" message, so this is definitely a feature now and not just me.
