Auto attack: A complete battle system

[YUGON]

Macro for Ranged Attack FTW!! It worked in FFXI, so it will work here too.

I'm glad to hear news about the battle system, and I'm glad they may implement auto attack. I like the way the fights are with it, and of course this doesn't mean that it will makes the game easier (even If that's possible xD).

That makes a huge assumption that the macro system in XIV works, which it does not. Not only is the system fundamentally different than XI, it is also completely broken. I believe the macro system needs to be completely redesigned from the ground up, before they should even start to consider AA. Not to mention the fact that targeting is in purgatory right now and it doesn't look like its going to change anytime soon.

To me, if they have to differentiate how disciplines operate in an AA system, then the system is bad. Keep in mind, that RNG also regularly performed melee attacks in XI up until the distance "patch". It was not originally designed to stand back and only lob arrows.
