Auto attack: A complete battle system

[Kimahri]

The first thing I'd like to address is that didn't Dragon Age 2 come out after Final Fantasy XIV?

I'm sorry, but I already read a fault at which you complaining means nothing. Dragon Age 2 has the same stamina system as it's predecessor Dragon Age.(Dragon Age came out long before FFXIV.) Please stop talking. I don't like reading posts of complaints based off of minimal intellect.

There isn't a need to button mash, but rather, you could just pay attention to what you're doing and your fingers would be intact. I've played this game since the collectors release and never have I had any problems with my fingers, nor had to button mash in any manner.

I'm sorry. I was intending my statement of my finger devoloping a callus as a pun. Please do not take most things literally when getting upset. Also, maybe you should think outside the box. Why am I just mashing? Probably because it's boring and not engaging. Yeah....

Take battle regimen for example. It sounds really nice that with auto attack you would still be able to keep attacking while the regimen is already cued up. However, why did we ever have to wait for everyone to cue it up that way? Why can't I, as a mage, after cuing up for the stacked regimen, cure someone that may need it while waiting for the regimen? Even with auto attack I wouldn't be able to help people while we are waiting for the regimen to be released. You can't do anything that is fully beneficial after stacking for a regimen. Do you think a few auto attack swings at like 20 damage each against some NM while waiting for a regimen to be released is really going to help with the overall success of the fight? People can beat them now without auto attack and do it really well.

Well there was another thread regarding the BR system. A lot of people didn't like it. Locking you out from performing simple duties? Blah. A lot of posts regarding this listed that auto-attack isn't the only thing that'll help the BR system. Go read those threads, or is that going to be a scornful remark towards you? Maybe you'll see more examples listed.

You have made scornful remarks at everyone that is Anti-auto attack, anti-job/subjob, and pro-BR. "That person isnt voting for auto attack! lets tell em to shut up and go sit in a corner."

have you not done the same to everyone who is pro AA as well? Being a little hypocritical aren't we?

Provide constructive feedback for a change. You seem to be dead set on people having to "think and be tactical" during combat in FFXIV why not lead by example and do the same with your posts?
So i'll ask you once again:

What is the use of the default #1 attack? To do dmg and to gain TP. It serves no other purpose, none what so ever.
Your other TP building attacks that you gain have effects attached to them such as bind or AOE or evasion boost ect ect. THese attacks make these selectable stamina reducing attacks. Thus I propose that it becomes toggable for auto attack. Everything else stays the same.

But as far as the #1 attack is concerned it is more of a hinderance than a blessing.
