Auto Attack

This is a skill based game. I completely disagree with any type of "lock on" for this game. my only suggestion would be if melee is having trouble accurately clicking enemies (i haven't had this issue) maybe make the hit box bigger. Auto Attack is not botting, it simply allows botting to be INSANELY easy. which would be foolish.

also having to manually disengage an enemy just to fix people having an issue clicking an enemy is completely a step in the wrong direction. Why introduce another mechanic you MUST use in order to not die? It would, in my opinion, be 100 times more frustrating than missing a swing here or there.

No. Enough said.

Meanwhile, here is my legit suggestion and fix without ruining PoE's gameplay so as to make it easier for people to BOT the game:

When game developers ignore the criticism that would improve their game, the game fails.
Just because a game receives a great amount of praise vs. only a small amount of criticism
does not mean to call it a day and make a foolish misplaced assumption that it is perfect.

The issue isn't targetting.
It's desynch.

With an auto-attack feature, at least your damage output will be closer to what it should be.
Melee, as it is, miss far too many attacks due to desynch.

Even ranged miss alot, although not quite so much.

Like I said to someone else in my thread as linked in this thread:

Quote, "So then the fix if done my way is to make it so only when the target is manually acquired after a point-click that you're glued onto an enemy, but not in that your character will keep hitting the enemy over and over. Instead, if you're in the middle of a swing with an attack or spell, it would glue that spell or attack to the enemy." End of quote.

And by the way, yes, anything auto opposed to manually acquiring a target does make it easier to BOT.

Botting is gaming through deliberate desync.

auto attack is FOR N***S, the good of this game is that you have to aim, use the hand, learn some skill... come on how could you need auto attack, is like... aim bot... no please don't add this feature...
