Communication in a real strategy is key, my LS can down many of the world nm in mins because we are constantly communicating in chat. This is easier when soloing of doing low man, and leves are a joke with no more challenge than deciding who pulls.
Button mashing, or lack of it, plays no part in strategy, managing your stamina, mp, tp etc is game basics,
most seem to have trouble just doing that.
If the game had started with auto-attacks we wouldn't even be having this conversation.
I doubt we will see an option for manual or auto as it would create a balance issue.
I think you're confusing real life with a video game.
Technique and adapting doesn't mean you have to spam attacks to achieve.
Best suggestion I can give you for now is wait for 1.18 then decide if this game is for you, if not then I'm sure you'll find some game that meets your criteria.
