Personally I would like to play with auto-attack off. I like the feeling of full control over the actions during a fight. jumping out of harms way. timing attacks so not caught in the path of say the Diremite special attack. Puks, Buffalo. etc for many others.
Yep... but let's say that while in concept the two methods would be equal, in practice one comes 5% ahead in efficiency. The community would 'force' you to use the auto-attack because otherwise, well.. you'd perform at 95% efficiency. On the opposite side, if the manual input attacks are deemed as the most effective way of combat those who like auto-attack wouldn't be able to use it without being shunned by the community. That's something they should also take into consideration in my opinion. Making the two systems complement each other (if only through being able to communicate better with auto-attack on while making it easily toggleable) would be in their best interest.

How would one... enable the Tag or.. would I need to make a new thread. with it on the title?
Well, there's a "Tags for this thread" box at the bottom of the page. There you can edit them. I did add one tag in there already though, I'm not sure if others can see it but if you can then there's no need to do anything else.

To know what number represents what topic, there's the "In Development" forum where every tag is listed with an explanation.
