I'll add one more variable to the argument. When I've surveyed members of my guilds, it seems this game attracts a slightly older player than, say, Call of Duty. Now add in that many of us play multiple worlds (I know one chap who plays 53 on various world servers). Aid and then visit taverns for 80+ people per world is 160 clicks alone.
Now, how many of us, er, more mature players have a sore mouse finger? There is a direct correlation between overuse of the mouse button and arthritis in one's finger.... let's see if there is some way to do this without risking our joints (the ones in our fingers, that is!)..... at least we'll be less sore and more inclined to take part in battles.
A player that plays 53 worlds can blame him self if he clicks to much, and the same goes for players that play more than one world, a game shouldnt be automatic, it should be something to do and have fun with, those who click play, those whom wount click aint really playing are they?
The "my finger hurts" argument aint valid in many cases, coz if the clicking is reduced some will just play more worlds, and others will just play more games, and your back to the same clicking
If the game get to automatic players will spend less time in each world, and it will hurt the game in the long run.... and "players" are here to play, and spend time, and have fun with it.
The old way where you had to visit a player to aid was removed, and that was a good thing, not so much for the clicking part, but that too, (to many clicks to do one thing) the real advantage in the new aid system was less loading time, waiting time and less server power was used.
The real problem here is that clicking gives the clicker´s an advantage, and the "one world" players an advantage.
Edit: Just to make my point clear.. if this was sport insted of at game.
If you live in a city that has 10 groups of people running 10 miles a day, and the same city has 10 groups of people that walk 2 miles a day.
If your legs hurts after running 30 miles, then joining more than 3 running teams would be dumb, if your legs hurt just running then you might wanna pick the walking team. if your legs aint hurting then you could join all the teams, but you will most likely end up with pain in your leg at some point.
When your legs hurt in one of the cases, should you ask everyone else to slow down, or run walk less miles, or should you just pick whats right for you insted of making changes for everyone else?
