[dev1022] Auto-attack system questions and discussion

[Malakhim]

Why are people still using the "spam 1,1,1,1,1" argument?

I'm pretty sure that was debunked awhile ago. If you're a melee class and that's how you're playing, you're doing it wrong.

I agree with this.
And can I just say that if they do put in Auto-Attack....I bet most of the same people complaining about hitting 1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1 will then complain about how boring the combat is with auto-attack. Because guess what? If they're just hitting 1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1....then they won't be doing anything.....


Edit: I think putting in Auto-Attack with this game would be a [SIZE="5"]BIG[/SIZE] mistake

No, they wouldn't complain about it being boring because the type of people who want Auto attack are the types that want to watch TV while playing. In FFXI or other MMOs, they're the type of people that don't do their jobs and are constantly not paying attention. They like to leech XP while doing something else.

Honestly, the lack of AA makes me feel more involved. Also, if all you're doing is spamming your "light attack" over and over again, you're doing it wrong. In FFXI, AA was a big part of it... but in other MMOs, AA hasn't been important for years. People are too busy spamming all their OTHER skills for AA to actually do any damage.
