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

If the Stamina bar and/or the "11111211112" system comes back this game would surely die a painful death, I've seen far too many give up on the game pre 1.18 due to that dreadful combat system.

Exactly - I'd like to offset arthritis in my fingers before I'm in my forties from jamming out endless lines of 1s and 2s.

+1 for hoping 2.0 gets rid of auto attack again.

I hope so. I hate auto attack, so only DPS class I have that I enjoy playing is ARC... which is pretty much useless to have now since no one will take them in parties =/

IMO they should make it work like Mabinogi does.

• Auto attack isn't going anywhere.
  
• It's not an "out of date" system. It's just an alternative.
  
• Pandaren have existed in WoW lore since Warcraft 3 as a side gag. It's been used as an April fools gag at least once before.
  
• This is a silly thread.

I cant tell if you guys are serious or not...or probably have a serious case of ADHD.


I just cant fathom why pressing 111111 over and over is fun. Like if this is a rambo hack and slash game.

Pressing 1111 over again shouldnt be the alternative to auottack lol.

Why do you think this?

Many hype up Guild Wars 2 and Blade and Soul and TERA precisely because those games dont have autoattack as a backbone to their combat system. so saying people will quit without autoattack is a stretch.

There were multiple ways they could have "revamped" the combat system. And quite frankly adding autoattack wasn't it.

Auto attack, you say?

the game is just not suited for a very action style of gameplay like the ones you mentioned, to get it like that, 90% of the game would have to be fully re-done (combat,mosters,skills,class balance,events...ect) which they clearly have no time for.

There is a reason why games like GW2 exist..so you can play them also. Either you don't liek this games combat, so you quit and wait for those games or you don't prefer it and play another game along side it.

the combat isnt being changed now, you have to realize its just not an option for them anytime soon.

say that when the new combo system come, and we ll see which suit for which
