I think it's creepy you're seeking the love of a slimey Marlboro.

At least you have more than XI's forums. There you're limited to Moogle, Magian Moogle, and Nomad Moogle!
More importantly, FFXIV has a disturbing lack of Mandragoras. Tell the Dev team to hurry up and get our beloved Mandragoras (Hopefully with some of the XII variations like Alraune and Nightshade) and add those for the Community team to use. I loved the fact that in Dissidia Duodecium they recognized the devout following of the XI Mandragoras.
I'd laugh if the explanation of the battle system was something like: "thanks for waiting, we intend to release the combat improvements sometime in October with Patch 1.9a. We have decided to include auto-attack because we think it is integral to the new battle system. I hope players look forward to the changes coming in Patch 1.9a!"
We'll find out soon enough if the last 4 months really were primarily focussed on this engine as the game's top priority, or if that promise was just a ruse so they could buy more time. I really hope it's more than auto attack, minor change in stamina usea, and tightening of the stats, because to the players that should take about three weeks to hammer down, not three months.
