Alcide, the term spamming doesn't just apply to pressing one button over and over again. I think players feel they are pressing too many buttons during combat. Hence they are spamming buttons.

Thats why in previous posts, people have said pressing 11111 is the same as pressing 55555 or 23456 or 173849.

Your argument of someone who hasn't reached rank 50,40,30 or what ever rank, doesn't understand how the game is supposed to function is ludicrous! Ranks 1-20 fundamentally operate the same as a rank 50, albeit less skills filling your bar. It's not hard to grasp the concept that in order to attack you need to press a button. To use most skills you need TP, to get TP you need to press a button before you press another button, so you can press another button.

How are we who want auto attack not being open minded? We've spent 6 months playing this game in it's current state, We are saying "hey lets try this." It's the people who are saying what we have now if fine who are closed minded. Have you thought about how a console player is going to receive this game? Have you read my thread about changing the UI to make the game more assessable to a gamepad user w/o implementing an AA?
