Guild Wars 2

It seems like more and more, mmo’s are going for a real time combat system instead of the established tab targeting/auto attack system. Yes it would probably take a fairly large amount of work to implement properly, but think of the pay off. GW2’s combat is even slightly set up with a real time combat system, your attacks can hit everyone, you attack in the direction your character is facing and, if so inclined, can turn off autoattack and spam the 1 key as often as you’d like. If Anet could implement real time combat, it would definitely increase it’s life and retain more players. As games like Elder Scrolls Online and Neverwinter come out, its going to become harder and harder to go back a game using an outdated mode of combat. Just my opinion though, I believe real time combat is the next logical step in the evolution of mmo’s, but again, just my opinion.

Not sure I understand… you sound like you’re describing guild wars 1 where Tab + Spacebar = Win.

If TES is anything like all it’s single player versions; first it will fail for epic bug issues, second the only real difference in that game was the first person perspective and that the auto attack never existed at all.
Here in GW2 yes there is an auto attack, but it’s easy to foil, you have to chase your target down, keep them in front of you, and pray your kitten character doesnt shoot that veteran/champion death machine across the way you’ve been trying your level best not to aggro when you kill your current target…
