"This is largely a problem with combat in all MMOs. People tend to find ways around it with add-ons. For instance, there is an add-on for WoW that lets you plug-in your optimal attack rotation and it will show you an icon that changes to whichever attack you should be currently pressing based on the highest priority attack that is currently available to use, and you can move this icon anywhere you want on your screen. You can place it under your character's feet or some other location that is central to your view so that you can keep an eye on the action and still be able to fire off your attack chain without delay. Since SWTOR currently has no add-ons, you're stuck watching your action bar and not the screen."
This person has lost it. "Stuck" watching your action bar? I can't believe we are now requiring someone to make a mod or addon for EVERY mmo out there that literally takes the same icon as an ability that is ready to be used and puts that icon....an inch above the same ability icon.
Oh, HELL yes. I don't always want to be in a social setting. I like to be alone also sometimes. Thats why single player games exist, after all, so theres no reason to have that kind of content in EVERY game.
