Zooming with the mouse wheel should zoom into the point you point at

A map or editor that zooms around its centre makes the thing you wanted to see slide away. Players expect the spot under the pointer to stay where it is. Getting this exact needs one small adjustment of the camera, and the steps of the wheel must multiply instead of add.

Why this works

People point at what they want to see, and expect it to stay put. Holding the world point under the pointer fixed while the scale changes matches that, and growing the zoom by a share each time makes every notch feel alike.

When not to use it

Skip it when zoom is meant to be a fixed set of levels around the player, as in a game where the figure must stay centred, or on touch screens where a pinch already carries its own centre. Zoom around the centre there.
