If you play most melee jobs in FFXI, this is how combat goes: Wait for 100% TP > macro. Wait > macro. Wait > macro. And all that waiting is just watching your character auto attack until they have TP again. It's BORING. AS. HELL.

And it's an excuse for many people to do something else while playing, like watching TV.

I'm just hoping they learned from their mistakes in FFXI and find a way to implement AA decently... but I'm not holding my breath.
I used my job abilities alot while auto-attacking and that concept isn't the same in this game as 100% TP is not required to fire off a skill, anywhere from 250-3000 depending on the skill so it shouldn't be too boring.

Personally I was a very talkative person in XI so aside from building TP and firing off JAs I was having a conversation and interacting with my fellow players.
