There is now a rumor that a Basic Auto button is coming to the game. I know it's still a rumor and nothing has been confirmed or finalized but the rumor also states that this feature has to be enabled in the Advanced settings menu. The point I'd like to bring up is that if Basic Auto is indeed brought to the game, great by the way- much needed, then the feature needs to be included via a button in the actual battle screen. For example, where Basic Auto is most needed, in raid battles- we need to be able to choose Basic Auto or Full Auto or manual battle on the fly in each raid battle node. Many times in a raid battle we use basic attacks only towards the end of the battle to make sure our ability cooldowns are ready for the next node. Many times this causes a time out in the battle, but being able to, on the fly, choose basic auto only would be a great help to avoid timeouts in battle.

So, if a Basic Auto feature will be included, let it be in addition to the auto feature we already have. Do not take away what we already have. Thanks, hope I expressed my thoughts clearly enough.

Actually, we did confirm it via the MSF Twitter account in a response to Valley Flyin: auto-basic button is definitely coming! Official announcement coming soon...
