So the game's been out for a few months now- and long before we were told again and again how great it was that the game wouldn't have auto attack- every time you attack, you're hitting a button.

So has it been good for you? Do you enjoy having that extra button you have to press every few seconds for an auto attack rather than having it built in?

It's the way SWTOR's mechanics work - every ability you use triggers the global cool-down unless otherwise stated. In that sense, auto-attack doesn't exist in SWTOR.

However, I'd be more than happy if they included a function that, on activation, would automatically cast the default 'auto-attack' repeatedly upon engaging a target without having me to click it.

The only attacks I use are my skills or abilities (whatever you want to call them), I didn't even know that there's a generic "attack" skill to replace the auto-attacks in most other games. Regardless, I haven't missed it, mobs are easy enough to kill as-is. Certainly no harder than in any other MMO I've played.

Your auto-attack is your companion.

I don't think our player characters themselves need it.

I can't imagine TOR with an auto attack, the resource management systems and GCD wouldn't function real well with it in my opinion.

this is exactly like most games with an auto attack as well.

Autoattack is a bad thing.
