Remaping the keys would do nothing to combat that between every 3 letters typed you are mashing 1-1-1-1 AA is not a "Cheap cop-out" just because you feel mashing your fist into your keyboard somehow makes the game more "Active" you are fooling yourself.

AA has it's issues as well though, personally I find them far less anoying than manual attack. Main issue being the abillity to stop attacking on a dime in situations such as reactive mob skills or crowd control situations. Speeding response time to go into passive mode would fix this for the most part.

AA and Manual attack have there ups and downs, the population is leaning towards Auto Attack and so it shall be. Don't cry and call it a "Cop-out" just because you don't like it.
