Of course it wasn't intended, it was clearly an exploit. That didn't stop people from abusing it though, sadly.
I've never used the engage spam yet have almost no problems running the dungeons with the squad. The AI seems pretty damn intuitive to me, with tanks running to pick up any mobs I accidentally get enmity on & turning them away from the group for tank busters etc. Definitely more intelligent than a lot of players in my experience.
Lol people resorted to Engage spamming to melt the bosses faster in a manner not meant to be done, it was a way to power lvl your characters without doing any effort and people on Reddit kept going "no they didn't fix it last patch and people have been saying this for a while"
It clearly was an exploit nothing more.
And it was figured out because people did WP and the squad would go nuts on the adds who couldn't be killed. So they spammed Engage to keep them on the boss. Then one person with an archer realized Archers would spam barrage when that happened.
It's not like players magically knew instinctively that spamming Engage would allow one class to be OP. It didn't work with any other job other than archer.
