Number of times I fought with the interface: (Destiny)

(separate post because I realized a separate thing going on)
I think part of the problem is probably the cursor itself-- it's a circle, and the area that affects things seems to be a small area in the middle of the circle, and that's not as easy to envision and see as the pointer or arrow cursors that have been standard on PCs for 20 to 30 years. I know a few times I thought (or felt) that putting part of the circle on an item would work and the game reminded me it didn't work by not doing anything. Maybe if they change the shape or even just added crosshairs or something it would feel better.
