Chain combo button

[ForteNightshade]

I don't get how pressing 1,2,3,4 is more enjoable than pressing 1,combo,combo,combo.

Because it feels better pressing four different buttons than spamming the same one over and over again. At least it does for me.

Thus having it be an option is the best compromise.

And create an entire subset of players who think they can just 'spam the attack button' with no consideration of which attack grants them job gauge, or requires a positional, or inflicts a debuff, or maintains a buff.

You will need to keep a constant mental count of how many times you've hit that button, and whether or not you've interrupted a combo.
"I've hit that 7 times, but after the 5th I used another weaponskill, so the next hit should be my buff..."

How is that fun?

It's even more simple than today. You dont have to think about which button to press after the starter. It's not that you mash one button all the time. And IIRC no kombo consists of more than 4 weapon skills. But your question already tells that you did not have any contact with such system. Or can you imagine a combat being engaging with only 5 skills and 2 buffs?

Go play DNC and then come back and talk to us about simple mindless combos.

Also DRG's combo is 5 buttons long.

No less fun than 123 123 123 123 123.

Beyond like level 30 or so, no job plays like that.

Just like no job is going to be 1111111111111111111111111111.

Then what's the problem this is trying to solve? Seriously. Is it that a 1-2-3 combo is too complex? I freely admit to not understanding what the issue is here that this request is supposed to solve.

Have you met DRK?
