While I still don't think Auto Attack adds anything if they fixed all of these other issues it would be a huge improvement. Even if they Fixed everything and add auto attack (which I think is bad) it would still be better than what we have now. However I don't think their approach to improving magic and battle effects by making them bigger is great either.
