And if people think auto-attack should be implemented just because it will be "useful" then they need to reassess their priorities. A combat system should be designed toward fun, not convenience and usefulness. TERA, GW2, Blade & Soul are all leading the field in active-combat and SE has decided, at the behest of every FFXI fan that can't get over the past and move on, to regress back into combat mechanics from 2001.

Nice one. Way to go FFXI fans.
Maybe if thats the way you feel then this won't be the game for you. Because a lot of concern about spamming actions is that we can't talk to our party members while doing it. As a RDM in XI i never used auto attack because it wasn't convenient no mage did except blu. What's fun for you may not be fun for the majority of FFXI fans, and this game was made for FFXI fans first, because they sat through 8 years of a game made by the same company. If you like action based games go play TERA, GW2, Blade & Soul, or w/e (btw blade and soul looks kinda good I won't hate, I just don't like art design, I'm not opposed to a action based game, i just don't think that's the only battle design that offers strategy proven by FFXI and how that game has more strategy than most mmos out to this day)
