Would you have paid monthly for FFXIV if it was released the way it is today?

I really like the new battle system, but being honest...this is one of the few problems I have with it, I dislike that until you get TP you only sit there and auto-attack. I think that they would have been fine going to say, 18 Abilities total instead of 15 and giving melee classes some non-TP, cooldown only basic moves like the old system, and given magic classes some more spells instead.

With the combo system giving us free weapons skills constantly, basic attacks would make it an unbearable spam fest with little chance/reason to use other abilities.

But I guess some people would prefer that because it requires significantly less thought and they can pretend like they are being more "interactive" by mashing their "one go-to button".
