get RID of the extra buttons to press when engaging please

[Ventus]

Gamepad player here. I use (in a macro):

/bm on
/targetnpc
/lockon

Bam. Macro click, then confirm button engages me against the enemy. That's all there is to it for me. Just as many button presses (two) as I had to do when engaging an enemy in FFXI. You whiners need to shush. :P

Not being sarcastic, but that is a very intelligent idea for macro =). I agree that you've presented a viable option but really when you think about it not everyone knows about your epic fix and it should already be something the average player can do without a macro.

Besides, I value my macro spaces =P. Don't want no stupid engaging macro clogging up my other dern stuff *redneck voice* =/.

Ya I'll have to try that as a temp fix. Seems both kb + m/controller users are having the same qualms with auto attack. I really do hope they fix things. I think the game should be easy to control with both pieces of hardware and the difficulty of the game should arise from formulating strategies not fumbling with buttons to perform basic actions.
