    get RID of the extra buttons to press when engaging please

    I USED to be able to walk up to a monster, and press 1 (light attack)

    NOW I have to walk up, press "F" to pull out my weapon, "C" to lock on, then ENTER to start auto attacking.

    I assumed they were trying to REDUCE the number of actions we had to take to do things.


    Guess not...

    Can we PLEASE just get an action at level 1 called "Auto attack on/off"

    This whole "not sure if my character is attacking or not" thing is BS

    I see keyboard still sucks. Its not bad with gamepad. Btw I think you can still start a fight and set up auto attack by using an ability on a mob? Such as full thrust or something. Not sure if it worked but I think I did it that way.

    Not to sound insensitive to the plight, but you really should invest in a PC controller.

    I loved using keyboard on 11 but this game is ridiculous with the keyboard imo. Maybe sometime when they let us go back to numpad for moving and arrow keys for camera. I liked that.

    Not to sound like an ass, but this is currently a PC only MMO.

    All you have to do is enter active mode (always had to do this), target the monster (always had to do this) and bring your action bar up and usable where you can cycle through abilities (always had to do this). It doesn't seem to take any more or less actions to get started than it used to for me at least.

    Built with the PS3 in mind through the entire development. As if the controls and UI weren't obvious enough. Which is why they have to go back and fix the whole thing for PC. This game plays much better with a controller. I use an Xbox 360 controller myself. After using the controller, I can't go back to using a keyboard and mouse for this game.

    MMOs should be played on a mouse and keyboard. i have a gamepad and do not use it.
    it would also annoy me to no end by having to press left and right for abilities.
    i absolutely agree with the OP. too many button presses just to engage.
    please improve the keyboard + mouse UI to have less menues, and less confirmations.

    +1 for sure. I can't count how many times I've walked up to a mob and hit 1 just to realize my timer wasn't ready yet.
