The TP system is a unique system, unique to any other MMO

Yup I agree, but I remember recommending this back when AA was first brought in and was beat to death by insults.Personally I really despise the Light Shot thing archers have now, where you have to manually activate each shot of the bow. It should have been a straight auto-attack like the rest of the physical DPS classes.
And along with that, staves and wands could be set up to auto-attack from range with minor magical damage, as well as spells generating TP.
I really don't see what difference it makes letting light shot auto attack or pressing it 4 times in a row.
Wow's rage system says hello ..

Bring Quality Notorious Monsters to FFXIV!

Whats that got to do with it, I wasn't arguing who had it first ..
I was simply saying FF11 and FF14 aren't the only MMO's to have a system were you gain points per hit.
The person I quoted said it was unique .. unique when compared to other MMO's ..
Why do I have to explain myself .. just Fing read what he said.
You do know FF Online came before WoW right?
I think when it comes to archers and autoattack the issue comes down to would you rather have to put away your weapon then pull it out again when you want to do damage, or take your time firing arrows precisely and building up the necessary TP to pull off an attack. This also goes for mages to, autoattack for mages and range users could interrupt their flow of combat, while mages have it easier since they can use their offensive/defensive moves without having to pull out their weapons, archers do not have this luxury.
Well now that I think about it.. they could add a toggle that turns auto attack on and off so rather then having to hit 1, 1, 1, 1 for times you could hit 1.... arrow... arrrow... arrow... arrow... then hit 1 again if you want to stop autoattacking lol. I think that would be the best way to deal with a range autoattack but as for mages since they don't have any use for TP as of now there really is no point to have them use ranged attacks with their wands/staves.
On topic however as noted in your quote XIV system isn't unique at all lol, the basic concept is attacks build up points which can be used to pull off stronger moves as the battle progresses. It would be nice if future classes could implement new ways to be played, but with the class based system of being able to interchange abilities between classes it may be hard to do that.
I think we should just revamp the combat system once a month and never have new content ever again.
