It's not the same thing, I'm not constantly hitting one button and by constantly I mean every millisecond. The problem is that XIV tried to be a turn-based/action game and it just didn't turn out well. In the older games the battle pace was set by the ATB bar, my character turns came at different times, so it wasn't like I was constantly hitting one button. If anything the auto-attack system will make it more similar to the original games.

In my entire FFXIV play life i didnt have a situation i needed to press button on one skill all the time.
It looked more like *Press* > CHange skill > after couple seconds *Press* > and so one.

Btw. about atp bar, the first battle system in this game in alpha ware more into that manner... but people decided that the battle is so slow so they started to change and current battle came out.

Anyway yeah, they should make it turn based from all the start ^^

To be fair the alpha battle system was slow, the upcoming battle system is MUCH faster than the alpha one. I'm not entirely pro-auto-attack but if it's going to be in the game just make it faster than XI and so far it looks that way.
