Increasing number of players using 3rd party tools

Honestly, the addon that consolidates combos is the single best thing out there.

There is no excuse, for it not to be standard behavior in the first place. There is no thought process and no decisions involved with the melee combos. There is no situation, where you would want to hit the same button again, or skip 2 and go to straight to 3 in the 1-2-3 combos.

It doesn’t matter if I sort the buttons to 123 or ERT or whatever layout you use, instead of just hitting 111 or E E E. There is not a single ounce of skill floor or skill ceiling involved, but it stops my hand from tiring and aching.

There is a reason it's that way, it's not based on what you want, but what you do press that matters and you can drop it because everyone can fails.
That's like saying why bother doing combos in fighting games you just have to press one button to do the same, and yeah in certain games the 1111 version do exist, but it does less damage because it's braindead to do and you reward the players that do the same combos but the regular way.
Removing it with mods is cheating, if you're fine with cheating good for you, but dont try to make it look like it's legit.
And dont say that you do NEVER drop the 1-2-3, it would be a blatant lie.
