yes I do, I was in the beta as well. If you want a piece of advice - stay away 
from pvp if you want to avoid frustration (at least till you are level 40 and 
geared up or patches arrive...).

I'm in no hurry. I play by voice. Takes a lot of practice to get 
ready for multiplayer. 

Question. Is this setting broken?

OPTIONS -- UI OPTIONS -- Find Hotkeys Snap to Unit

When I uncheck that and then do find idle worker "V", it changes the 
view anyway. Doing a little research, I see complaints about the 
view being changed, but I don't see any comments about that setting.

Question. Is the Defense of Crete ad-on important for multiplayer? 
Does it raise your level, or is it just practice?

Thanks.

Not sure if it is broken or by design, but it indeed does what you say. I keep 
it checked to see where the workers are so I never noticed before.

It isnt important for multiplayer per se, but is more fun if you do it in 
coop. You get experience so it will raise your level if you are under 40. It 
is a good practice for some of the high level quests, especially if you do 
them in elite or legendary mode but not at all essentiell. Try the demo mode 
to see if you like it.

How can a check box that does nothing be by design?

Many players including myself usually want to use the idle worker
for something that is in view. I don't see a control that returns
the view to the prior location, either. 

I really need that function. Either to avoid changing the view 
when selecting an idle worker, or at least a key to return the 
view to the prior view after selecting an idle worker. But I get 
no reply at all on their forum. Would be useful to know when that 
bug is going to be fixed. Apparently Age of Empires Online people
just don't want to talk about it. 

Thanks for the effort.

find Hotkeys snap to unit is an option not only for workers (via v and ctrl 
v?) but for other hotkeyed groups as well. Maybe behaviour for workers is 
intended, thats why I said it *could* be by design.

This option was asked for for a long time, along with a possibility to get 
back to 'normal' view if you have camera rotation enabled...

Asking in game if one of the mods is around is probably a better option, Ryz0n 
for example is quite helpful and should at least know if its a bug or not.
