Except it's not. Not even close Rokien. Let me explain this to you in a language you would understand.

1111 111 11111 1111 1111 1111 1 11 111111 11111 1111 111111 11 111 1111 11 111 111111 or in english:
See? you can't even tell what I am saying using one button as the same as all others.

One button centralized design =/= not the same as dynamic combat design. AA bypasses so much unneeded tedium in this combat system it isn't funny.

There is enough required attentiveness in the system we have. It's not as if people are idling like in FFXI where all they do is let the spam DPS of their auto attacks to the job for them with the occasional WS. Melee jobs constantly need to be self-buffing, moving around, getting in and out of attack ranges, etc.

Adding the requirement to repeatedly pressing the attack button whenever you're striking is just pointless. It adds nothing but insubstantial fluff to an already busy combat system.
