FFXIV moved away from auto-attack while WOW went without... how odd.

I'm fine with no auto attack as long as there are fun buttons to push during combat that aren't simple 'Light Stab' which simulate auto attacking anyway.

Funny as a level 30+ish pug in ffxiv i had over 3 bars full of spell Attack,def,buff and i use everyone of them and only use the auto attack when needed which was to build up TP. I still don't understand why people hate the system maybe they could have made it better but w/e

i enjoy ffxiv with or without auto attack.

So, without auto attacking, you would have to manually build TP is what you're saying. Which means unless they added a bunch of cool abilities that build TP, you would just be simulating auto attacking to build that TP, which is what used to happen in beta, which sucked hard.
