Why do you want auto-attack? (discussion)[dev1022]

More chat friendly game.

Reduce the spam-fest feeling.

I do like the aspect of the battles being more involved, but I think they could do it better and include auto-attack. Right now though the battle system is more involved than your usual auto-attack, it does not entertain me. There is a difference between a deep and engauging battle system, and one that just keeps me occupied. Its not unique and exciting, its just busy work.

It will allow for weapon delays without messing with stamin too much and allow for more variety in gear choices

Because spamming normal attack is lame and boring. I'd rather it just be automated like every other MMO. And just because a game has auto attack, or someone else wants auto attack doesn't make them lazy. Auto attack doesn't necessarily mean you will be pushing any less buttons, just the buttons you will be pushing will be for other things like more special attacks and abilities. Combat in general will have to be redesigned to make it work, but I personally find it better.

Automating a boring combat system doesnt make it any more fun, just less tedious.

LOL @ SE.
