Auto attack is needed for most MMORPGs with this style. Spamming 1 (yes, you DO spam 1) is not only unhealthy for the comp and your hand, it's also extremely annoying. To those saying that with auto attack, you can watch movies while playing. I can do that with the current system as well. Keep my finger on the 1 button and just glance over from time to time to see if anyone needs a heal. Your argument is now invalid. To those that are saying it's a step backwards, have you actually played this game? I'm pretty sure button spamming was from the early 80's. Argument = invalid.
