This game is very oriented to casuals. You do not need to be obsessive about gaming, or spend time analyzing every little detail to get ahead. Nor do you even need to spend a lot of time.

You can spend a little time (an hour or less a day), and always move forward. You do not have to know much about the details of the game, and can still level up and get equipment.

That being said, what you refer to are game mechanics. Casual or not, that's how the game is played. It's like saying I don't like having to punch buttons into a controller just right all the time in order to do wrestling moves in Tekken. But... that's how the game is designed to be played ^.^;
