People say "wait for updates to autoattack system and it will be amazing", but if you think about it, we could have had one year of patches to the active-combat system instead, and perhaps we could find ourselves in a better position today had SE taken that route instead.

It's stupid to dwell on the past, but looking forward, let's just hope the development team doesn't continue to make wasteful decisions under Yoshi's leadership.
By far most people I've encountered prefer the current system, I see mainly just the same few people complaining about it. Most of them appear not to even play much anymore so I question their ability to really judge the new system.
