Too much, now too little. AutoAttack

[User201109011315]

Most games are going toward more active combat system. Polls suggest 60% of MMO players want a more active combat system, and perhaps the nature of MMO combat is one reason most gamers aren't MMO players. So it is strange to see SE revert back to the antiquated FFXI modality rather than try and fulfill their vision.

My biggest problem with the active combat system was the timer/cooldowns aswell as stamina (a combat system doesnt need two methods of delay!) and also the server unresponsiveness, which still persists even now in congested areas.
