It down right turns your brain to mush during a long NM fight, where no matter what you are doing, you have to constantly go back to pressing 1/A/X, whatever you use to attack.

All auto attack does is normal attacks. Are we some how losing some kind of grand strategy that I am not aware of with auto attack? Is it really that more strategic and action packed having to press your attack button that often?

Now, I don't really think auto attack was the answer to what we needed, but it's nowhere near as bad as people are making it out to be, as if it will play the game for you or something. If the game doing your normal attacks for you leaves you with nothing to do yourself, then you are definitely doing it wrong in the first place.
with the advent of auto attack and no stamina you are fundementally changing the strategies and tactics of fighting, many people played in a way that it made no difference, but trust me, its a big difference with what techniques are best/work and the overall playstyle of the game.

Im not saying they cant make an auto attack system work, im just saying it is not the same, and many strategies/skills/playstyles will have to change.
Hopefully it will be cool, but i guarantee it wont matter if they dont change the SP reward system, since most people will spend most of their time leveling up.
