Why do you want auto-attack? (discussion)[dev1022]

Not bashing or anything just, I saw a lot of people say more 'chatty' and easier to setup strats but, I mean outside pug groups(which is rare when it comes to end-game content) dont most of you use vent / mumble / ts to talk 'strategy' or the likes with your ls / friends?

Voice is always going to be faster then typing just curious saying 'implement a VOIP program through FFXIV' would solve the social aspect without adding Auto-Attack.

Anyways for the players who have 2 PC's Auto-attack would make it easier :P haha, but I don't mind either way. What ever will help make the best battle system (AA included/not included) all I really care about.

Edit: Guess 'best' is a poor word choice since its more of an opinion, but most fluent, interactive, visually appealing, encouraging strategies / making players more involved and testing there SA.. stuff of that nature.

Different audiences. Fighting game fans(like me) enjoy 1:1 reactions and pressing buttons.

People who strictly play RPGs... Well, they generally tend to enjoy more "sloth like" setups.

Going to have to use this thing you said here:

This is the one of the more convoluted posts that I've seen on this forum, surprising given that it's so short. Are you seriously saying that we should add auto-attack so that people will do more than stand around doing nothing?? And call him out on what exactly? All he did was offer his opinion on it.

He said people want auto-attack because they want to be lazy, and has argued before that auto-attack will bring out the lazyness in people. I told him (and others have in other places too) that people can be lazy and bad right now if they want.

Nowhere did I imply that I wanted auto-attack, either. I'm saying what he's fearing already happens, and that the result of his worst case scenario (people doing nothing at all) is worse in the current system.

Apparently auto-attack is being refered to as a sole means to an end rather than as a mechanical component of a system.

Actually, I said it encourages bad behavior and laziness. Can you prove me wrong?

To piss all the boys and the girls off wwww

easier to chat. easier to afk while grinding :p

P.S. Chatting away incessantly under the pretense of AA, when you should be doing your job, is just that.

i like this battle system and personally i dont think auto attack is needed. i only use "1" sometimes to set up skills.
what i wanna see is an attritubute to increase stamina speed, add agility as an attribute this may promote other builds fast hitters ot fast casters.
