Auto attack: A complete battle system

[Motoyuki]

You're forgetting this part

"EDIT: oh and talking about guildleves, right now I'm ranking up archer, usually my pattern is hit multishot x2, hawk's eye, raging strike, normal attack x1, ferocity, weapon skill. Usually the mob is dead at this point, is it spammy? do you think i'm not doing my job? "

This is about archer, but my main is lancer and i playid a bit of thaumaturge too, i've never spammed anything with any of these classes unless, i've always had a good time while grinding/doing leves and i've socialized with many people.

The point is this battle system allows you to get to r50 spamming normal attacks, but it's just your choice and if you do it you're not giving your best and definitely you're not playing your class as it's supposed to be.
You can't blame the devs if you decide to play in the most boring way.

I didn't forget about any part. The part your wrote about your Archer has nothing to do about my post. I stated 3 classes that are notorious for spamming. Archer wasn't included. Honestly, I don't care about your achievements. I'm stating the general population of FFXIV. Think outside the box and maybe you'll see where the people that want auto-attack is coming from. As for, this is my last post here. I'm not going to argue with someone who can only see something from his point of view.

o.O

Obviousely I wasn't showing off my achievements, i couldn't care less, I was just showing an exemple of how the battle system is not spammy and as I said, my main is lancer (wich you have mentioned) and i've never spammed at all, but i won't show you my lancer pattern because you wouldn't care.

By the way I'm not seeing everything from my point of view, but from those of everyone that's still playing and enjoyng the game, coz everyone i know in game is absolutely against auto attack, so as I've said before, those that want auto attack are playing little/just started playing/quitted after rank 10 so no, I really can't see the game from their point of view, I don't want to and couldn't care less coz you're trying to change something you know nothing about.

You mentioned Marauder, I've been leveling that one recently, I almost never spam light attack, instead I take full advantage of the job's AoEs and steadfast, often fighting multiple mobs like the job was intended. You mentioned Pugilist, I have an r24 pgl, with that job, I alternate between light strike and heavy strike, and use pummel on occasion, the only skill I tend to spam is haymaker (yes, you read correctly, I spam the conditional ws) since I tend to evade most attacks. Finally you mention Lancer, I have a r25 Lnc, for that one I alternate between light and heavy thrust, using feint whenever I miss. If something links, I will position myself accordingly and use Pierce to hit both mobs at once. In parties I will use skills like Comrade-in-arms and life surge to support my party and increase damage through more accurate attacks and increased TP gain.

You have stated that these three jobs are notorious for just spamming thier default attacks, but it sounds like you know very little about actually playing any of them.
