So take 20 minutes and get to level 15? Most people who are starting out need to learn the intricacies of how to play their class at a slower pace so that when they have access to a wider arsenal of abilities they use them properly.

The game should naturally speed up as you become more powerful and can use more abilities. Once a player is 30 (which should take even casual players a matter of days not weeks or months) they can access their guild mark purchasable basic attacks, as well as have enough Action Points to equip quite a few different buffs in order to define whatever role they are playing in the party, or solo. At this point they should no longer being "waiting for auto attack".

This is an extreme example also which doesn't have to apply, most melee classes like Archer/MRD/GLA access abilities long before that point which should keep them busy during a fight in between TP attacks. Lancer and Pugilists (edit: nevermind pugilists have plenty of abilities outside of TP to utilize as well through the countering system) may have less abilities to utilize at low levels but they also are capable of gaining TP much faster.

Honestly I've leveled several classes since 1.18 and have never once encountered the situation you are experiencing. Even sub 20 when I am soloing mobs I am doing much more than just sitting and wait for auto attack.

What are you fighting? What actions do you have equipped? What exactly do you do during a fight? I'd like to honestly help you if you were willing to listen to how others use the new system properly (as in not waiting for auto attack at least).
