    Choosing your action and then waiting for it to happen is just... stupid. Unless you're actually casting a spell.
    I kind of agree with these. Ok it is not a major issue and there are several things that must be changed/fixed, but smashing your basic attack on a gamepad is a pain... At least for me... I'm not gonna stop using gamepad if an auto attack is not implemented, but such an option would actually help a little.

    As I stated is a minor issue but still an issue.

    Have you ever played other games on a console? Or any action rpgs? Monster Hunter, MGS, Devil May Cry, FFVII Dirge of Cerberus, FFVII Crisis Core, Shinobi, God of War, Deus Ex? Just some games off the top of my head that actually had fun combat. Something that MMOs until just recently never had. It could be done here. But not with Auto Attack. I'm not saying it needs to be "exactly like" any of the games I listed but every one of those games has combat that's actually fun even more so when you put them side by side with almost every MMO released in the last 10 years.

    The point is that MMO combat that we have now and have had is bad. Why ask for McDonalds when you can ask for and have New York Strip? I wasn't attacking you I was just trying to establish a basis for comparison.

    Auto Attack is bland. Not fun. So why ask for it when you could ask for combat that is?
