Auto attack allowes cookie cutting which od epically boring.

I say no to auto attack, its a cheap concept, and makesa for brain dead gamers. It also is do reliant of cookie cutting builds.
I hear what your saying about the lol/nin on jobs and such but that is unimaginative pople doing unimaginative things (no supprise there) If you don't want auto attack to get ride of coasters, then your removing game featurs and player comfort for fear of being stuck with auto attack bots. Personally I don't think this is a great arguement againts the auto attack but I am heaing it from a lot of people, which is interesting to note.

On another hand you lose the effect of weapon delay, gearing choices for auto/ability power, and the need to torture the poor game pad folks. I play on 360 controller at the moment and I use mumble for party things and I play Glad and I like my current set up. But I know my PC buddies have a leg up on reaction time and targetting on me, which makes the fact that I need to change targets, (slower) AND go hit a basic attack so I cna get soem aggro on mob before an AOE comes out so my next ability can peal it back is jsut tiring and makes me play Glad with keyboard and mouse. I am sure that auto attack is not the only problem in this scenario but it seems to me to be a pointless extra hump for fear of bad palyers playing badly, (pretty sure they will find a way to piss you off with this system either way...)
