Please rework the position of AUTOattack on target

Dear SE

You have moved the AUTOattack icon of the target to another place and look what became with my UI
http://i91.fastpic.ru/big/2017/0118/...28ee197892.png

It began overlap with my status bar. With this UI I play almost 3 years and I dont want to make any changes (move status bar or target bar), but you by this change force me to do that. It is not fair, I dont want to do that

Dear SE, please, make a rework
1) Move this icon to another place
or
2) Make an option to TURN off it

Thank you

An option to turn it off would be alright, but it doesn't need to be moved again.

You placed your own buff bar over the target's buff bar, and this works for you because you've probably disabled target buffs/debuffs from others. But as for the auto-attack indicator's position, they didn't hijack your buff bar's screen space -- they simply reallocated a bit of space that already belonged to the target's buff bar.

Relocated, ok, but it became not suitable for me. That is why I request to make improvement- at least to add the turn off function

I had precisely that problem with the previous placement, except in the vanilla UI >.>

Perhaps it could just be a separate UI element that can be moved independently of the target bar.

Or perhaps we could have an addon API and make changes like this ourselves? Nah.

I don't get why we have this in the first place. Isn't there an autoattack symbol already on the enemy itself? Kind of redundant to be honest, and cluttering.

Yeah, this change was silly, and would be nice to turn off.
(Id also like the ability to change the button for cut scenes, where spacebar make it move automatically, as spacebar is currently the button i press to go through the cut scene. now i keep getting the pop up instead every time i try to move the story along.)

Generally, I dont understand what for this icon even exists. Every boss in the game uses auto-attack, this icon is useless because show nothing important or(and) useful

It's for your autoattack on the enemy, so the exact same thing that is on the monster's head, again on the target bar. Shows that you are currently autoattacking the monster you have engaged >_> cos apparently it's not enough info when watching your character hitting it or seeing the symbol already on the monster...

Yeah please, a toggle function would be nice. Some of us don't need all the extra info we had already displayed. Was all good before it got introduced. Makes it kinda idiotproof now and I believe we are already showing too much easy info in exchange of what's really needed. Like let us see our own debuffs on raids or fates, so we know when to fester etc (personally not interested in all those bios/miasmas from people I don't even have in my own party ty, but would love to control my own banes/festers). Wasn't there a reason behind this like a limit or whatever? So why are we filling the bar with redundant info now?

I see. This information is useless too

Yes, but with a ranged class it's possible that the targeted enemy may be positioned off screen. The updated auto-attack placement is more stream-lined than before, when it was placed above the target bar.

The OP just needs to move the status bar down slightly and problem solved.

According to the patch notes they did it to improve visibility.

Considering that it's unlikely that the developers are going to add a toggle option anytime within the very-near future I don't think you have much choice. You can alter your UI layout, or leave it as is with the auto-attack icon obfuscating part of your status bar.
