Clicking and Waiting is how it goes. (Score 1)

I hear people complain a lot about how they don't like clicking Autoattack and then just waiting for the fight to be over. Unfortunately, clicking and waiting comes with the territory. You trade off self-control of your character for power. People like knowing they can click Autoattack and they'll be alright, because their character can handle it. If you left all of the actions and attacks up to the player, you'd have more problems. A lot more mistakes, and people not knowing exactly what to do. They wouldn't get smug in knowing that they can handle any situation because they've got a brickwall character between them and their situations. Whether this is good or bad, no one can say. Sure, you might be pissed off that you lost a duel with someone just because your avatar missed one too many swings and there's nothing you could do about it, but that's the way the MMORPG genre goes. If you want to control your character completely, then it's time to look for an online FPS game. Otherwise, appreciate the fact that whoever you're fighting against, be it a college student, the undead soul of Bruce Lee, or the will of God, your geeky self and your character can still have a chance to slaughter their characters simply because there's very little room for player error.
