Auto attack: A complete battle system

[Sileface]

Please do not add an auto-attack!

Surely there is amore creative way to both prevent spam and increase communication among players (if those are the reasons for suggesting it). It just seems to be a lazy fix. Maybe the developers are too busy with other changes to create something unique.

There are numerous ways to fix these complaints, a few have already been listed here (combos would be nice). How about we add damage, accuracy, or special effect bonuses to basic attacks and increase cool-down. For example, the accuracy of light slash is increased if the target is performing a TP move or casting a spell. Perhaps, the enmity generation of heavy stab is increased of the enemy misses its target. These and all other basic attacks would have modifiers that would go into effect during specific battle situations. Basic attacks would be used sparingly and with intent. Or, we could just stay simple by increasing damage/accuracy/modifiers and creating cool-down timers.

How about this: instead of creating an auto-attack, make new /dance emotes! They could make our TP generate slowly overtime and the enemy could slowly loose health when engaged while we /dance, /dance, /dance! It would make everyone happy; There would be no need spam basic attacks or have an auto-attack, yet it would produce the same end.

I think the discussion should be on alternative to auto-attack instead whether or not to impliment it.
