It's not like it takes any thought, so I don't see any point in it... The time it frees up could be put to much better use via strategic elements that could be added, which the game definitely needs more of... With things like the use of abilities, tactics, or whatever else they might add.
All auto-attack does is add a background DPS rate to your attacks, meaning that mob hp will be adjusted accordingly. Rendering the whole thing futile.

Of course, even if they don't add those strategic elements, auto-attack would still be welcome, because chatting is still a lot better than button mashing mindlessly.
What is the point of chatting while in combat? I don't want to talk when I fight. I want to fight when I fight.
