What do you look for in a combat system?

But spamming numbers can get boring too. The idea of manual is good, but the implementation in FFXIV is boring. TERA, GW2, and B&S seem to pull off action-based combat really well. FFXIV, not so much. Even though SE's heart was in the right place, they didn't seem to be able to realise their vision (combat where actions and positioning matter).

Active combat where position matters allows for a lot of strategy and CREATIVITY when fighting.

The responsiveness and visual representation of our attacks in FFXIV is quite poor.

But anyway, in conclusion, auto-attack does not seem to resolve the issues afflicting FFXIV's combat system at the moment.

Yeah, I agree that the current system is not the best implementation, i just pray that Yoshi does not implement auto-attack.
