[sugestion] AUTO ATTACK IMPLEMENTATION

[Levian]

The reason you had to turn your back in FFXI was because striking the mob gave it TP (about 2-3 just like if you were struck by something). Having 10 or so Meelee constantly striking something (For about 50 dmg each hit if they were good) wasn't worth feeding the monster TP on that scale, and would inevitably lead to wiping the group when the healers couldn't keep up with AOE spam every 20 seconds.

It won't be a problem here because the TP mechanics and party sizes are different. I don't think we'll see 2 18 man alliances worth of people attacking the same creature(s) in FFXIV. On that note, I do like the fact that auto attacks aren't a factor. It seems like a dated mechanic of MMOs past, that quite frankly could be done away with.

the reason you turned your back most of the time was not to auto attack, like when people were sleeping a monster, when you had to do a lot of buffs, etc. I cant count the number of times we had to scream disengage in dynamis.... I too hope you can stop AA with 1 button press, without sheathing your weapon. in this game you actually take more damage and have less evasion from the rear, they definitely dont need the AA wont stop problems ffxi had.
