I hate being engaged in what I'm doing.
It really cuts into my multitasking and forces me to actually do things I like instead of half-assing a bunch of crappy things at once.

I'm looking at this game from a different angle, I guess. Auto-attack is alright, but lots of people always abused it in ffxi. However, I'm sure (and I believe SE has said so) they will have a more robust macro system than ffxi did. If that's the case, why not just set up one nice, long macro to do a few attacks while you step away a second?
I can't really say much, but auto attack would not currently work with their combat system very well.
Now, if only there was a pause button on an mmo...

The beta testers in RPC haven't encountered a macro system yet, but we're keeping an eye out for it.

I expect it will still be 23:52 on Firesday when I get back so I can synthesize when this fight is over. Everyone needs to stop fighting until I get back, because I'm not going to be here to throw cures at you guys! lawl! That means you too, Mr. Sea Puk!!"
Seriously... if only there was a pause button on RL..... :approve:

I know, why not put the pizza guy on pause and finish the fight?

I actually thought the combat system isn't active enough. The fewer buttons I have to press in a five second period, the less happy I am.
Now if only I could get a freaking toon over 10 so I could give SE more valuable (hahahahahahaha) opinion on that, I would be most happy.

I'll be honest I had plenty of times in the Crawler's Nest where I just let my guy wail while I watched TV.

I have 4 weapon skills on gladiator now and I LOVE the combat system <3 Once you are more comfortable and aware of how often things like guard stay up for you can get in a really nice rhythm where you're just pushing one button after the next wailing on things. It's great. ^^

You're getting me even more excited! STOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPIIIIIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTT :<

I kinda liked FFXI's battle system, although I agree with Diyne in people abusing the hell out of it. I AM looking forward to IV's, seeing as you take a more active role and actually PLAY it. I just hope it doesn't end up a button-mash fest like Aio'ns high levels seem to be (I watched my friend and his fiance play before, her, as a Chanter at least, was pretty much constantly spamming buttons. I...like a moment to decide and think on my course of actions, usually XD )

Without a conjurer over 10 though, it's either stick by the aetheryte or spend most of my time spamming spirit dart. . .spirit dart. . .spirit dart. . .spirit dart. . . ;_;
Once I get OVER 10 (at 14 or so, I think) I will have two buttons! Spirit dart and a TP move! . . .I can't help but feel like I have to hoard mana for emergencies, never to be used unless my mana regen cd is up.
