Spam includes everything from attacking to skills. Theres no planning, barely any strategy involved from fight to fight. I'm supporting the auto attack function myself cause not only will there be more time to use skills and type (for those who don't use vent or any other form of voice chat) its the only way to form strategies and speak to teammates. Can't exactly do that if your attacking (DoT is as important as any Spike damage) at the moment. If we want this game to have a deep and fulfilling battle system, spamming of the light attack has to go. I'm not saying everyone does spam, but I'd say a good 80% does; which pretty much negates having all those interesting abilities. IMHO, Auto-attack will bring out the best in this battle system.
Then in your own words, there is no need for auto attack. Think of the job's default attack as equivalent to the fight command in previous FF games. You are also stating that auto attack will increase tactical flexibility, but in reality, it will not work at all in regards to certain jobs (archer being the most obvious), in addition, when the computer is doing the fighting for you, how is that bringing out the best in a battle system? I'd much rather decide what attack I'm going to use rather than let the game decide for me. Sorry, but it sounds to me like you're promoting a battle system that requires a person to do as little actual thinking as possible.
