    There were multiple ways they could have "revamped" the combat system. And quite frankly adding autoattack wasn't it.
    And there you have one of the reasons GW2 isn't somethign that interessts me, and from hearing other peoples feedback, a lot of other people dislike this style of combat as well and prefer a AA system, cause you know, not everyone likes the same thing.

    I'd prefer XIV went their own unique FF style way, and with how we have Limit Break type abilities and a comming combo system I hope fits well into a AA system, if you like the mind numbing 1,1,1,2,1,1,2,1,1,2,1,3,1,1... type rotation combat then you said it urself, theres 3 games listed there to play for thoose who like it that way.

    Blade and Soul isnt mind numbing 11111221212 system.

    Cant talk about GW2 or TERA though cause I dont really follow them.

    People assume there are two types of combat systems: FFXi and FFXIV.

    But there's more possibilities out there.

    Tera is spamming basic attacks then special attacks when cooldowns are up. That's it. There's a bit more to it depending on your class, but it's all down to:

    1. Spam basic attack
    2. Use special attacks
    (2a. Charge special attack)
    (2b. "stack" special attack)
    (2c. Adjust targeting and use special attack)

    It's basically what XIV's original stamina system was without the stamina and ability to target parts outside of incaps.
