    Don't take it personally, it's a by product of dealing with insecure young people.

    Oh, and pick "The Upside of Irrationality" by Dan Ariely for more information. Or check Dan Ariely out on TED.com

    Happy end of the fiscal 4th quarter!
    Actually, no, the problem is that all this would accomplish is return auto-attacking to the realm of pre-auto-attack button-mashing with a mild degree of added precision. I'd rather weave my abilities and weaponskills than my auto-attack crits.

    Why does it have to be either/or when it can (and would with the implementation this person is asking for) be both? I'm thinking the guy you quoted is probably correct.

    Because the crit-on-trigger mechanic would be unfairly weighted toward slower weapons, introducing a whole new set of balance concerns. It's an unnecessary layer of obfuscation when you can simply introduce the idea of precision elsewhere.
