I think Auto attack shoulfd never have been developed. Anyone in favor of one are not gamers. Auto attack just makes for lazy gamers. There have been many times in ffxi where the "tank" would just walk off. Don't say anything then come back once he was dead. Only to be upset about it.

This will happen in ff14. It did happen in ff11. And after about 2 years players stop chatting in parties. They was too focused on the exp/hr to bother. They only wanted to lvl up, get to end game. They didn't want to chat and feel it slowed the game down. I ran into tons of ppl like this playing ff11.

Auto attack is also a dull concept. I would much rather have the simply combat from Zelda twilight princess then have Auto attack ala dragon age origans.
