Would it not be better and does it not make sense, that auto attack for an archer should be some form of an arrow being launched at a timed interval rather than a swing of the fist or throwing of a rock or whatever the hell it is now?

If an archer is standing back at a distance, as an archer should be, he will never auto attack and never auto gain any TP.

I'm sure they've probably thought about this and It's very early in the morning right now and I'm probably missing something but that's fine. I'm sure someone will enlighten me as to why this would be a horrible idea. Hopefully it's done tactfully, but I doubt that will be the case either, lol.
