Auto Attack wins!

[Lamhirh]

It's always a good idea to keep things personal. the "most people i know" argument never held much validity.
The fact that the attack key is always the same key pretty much makes the involvement zero. Now, I could have admitted the "manual" approach if there was a combo system like in AOC, but just adding a single key press in the middle of the actual tactics isn't really relevant.

It is personal. it is that way, as people tent to gather around people who think/feel same way. So you see most people i know"are the people i play the game with ^^. Anyway, i like thing called immersion in my Roleplaying games. I am one of the cursed crowd, and for me, more important is to do something personally, than watch it doing it for me. actually there was planing in the game, but was poorly balanced. basic attac/skills usage should be keep in check by stamina usage, and SE never really got a hold of how to work that idea. The got basic, but couldnt find spirit of it. i like doing weird builds, and trying to find the way to go through the game with them, make they usefull. but as i said i am sandbox loving wacko that never grew off playing with LEGO <_<

I really didn't want auto-attack cuz I don't want to feel like the game is playing by itself and I have no control. BUT it seems there are huge changes in the battle system, so I'll just have to wait and see what's in store for us

The best thing here is that it looks like there are some seriously big changes coming our way. Happy with the auto-attack, happier with seeing they are really working hard to get us some big changes with big impacts.

Although auto-attack is somewhat of a cop-out, it at least gives them a few extra nobs to tweak in order to make combat/classes seem a little more interesting and unique (but by no means innovative).

Awesome news, curious to see which way it goes, auto attack like FF11 or auto attack like WoW ?

[Shelia]

This is good.

Finally, some positive changes... lol

[Akumu]

I wasn't for AA but as long as it's not as slow as XI and SE believes it goes well with their plans then i'm cool with it.

[Frebaut]

I can type and fight at the same time. Or i will be able to once the new system is in place. Win Win.

[Alcide]

Well I'm glad I played the game when it was fun.

Can't say it yet, but I've got the feeling I'm gonna quit after the battle system patch >.>
Have fun in you new FFXI-2/WoW-Clone/Whatever.

At least give it a shot first. We still don't know all the details, it could turn out to be good.
