Thats automated in my opinion. If you can't aim and maneuver at your target like a third person shooter works, its basically automated combat that your character aims and operates for you. Skyrim has better combat than this (which is not a complement). I'm looking forward to WarZ, its basically like dayz but an MMO. It seems to not have very much of the standard MMO elements that every single MMO almost religiously sticks to.  

Play the game, then talk ***

The combat in gw2 is amazing the way it is. watching youtube videos wont do you no good.

Meh, Guild Wars 2 suffers from auto targeting and wow-like automated combat. Once there is an mmo with an interesting universe AND actually decent combat, I will be interested.

GW2 combat is mote automated then Tera's, but after playing both games I wouldn't say its bad. It's very smooth and hits are meaty, when you play it the game doesn't feel automated. Also, don't compare it to WoW's boring combat.

If it feels like Ocarina of time's Z auto targeting, I might change my mind. I'm not going to put my 60$ of my money on it though considering there's no demo or anything yet. And all I can watch is youtube videos that make the combat appear automated and boringish.

What are you referring to by " interesting universe" you mean good lore and all that?

Raiderz is entering closed beta soon and its combat is amazing, I played in the alpha. You have to aim everything, there is no auto targeting. If you play a melee character it feels a lot like Monster Hunter.

Non-fantasy. Almost every MMO in existence has been LOTR type fantasy. SWOTR wasn't, but its combat didn't look interesting and we kinda already know its universe pretty well.

oh, so you're hoping for more modern/futuristic themes?

Anything different than LOTR type fantasy. The War Z looks really interesting, its like DayZ only an MMO. Its probably going to shake things up a bit.

250 players in a map? Weak, check out Planetside 2 if you want massive combat.

Thats an incredible amount of people for something like this. You don't seem to understand the point of this game at all and how it works since you're comparing it to, uhh.... planet side 2.... which is a completely different type of game, try DayZ, and then you might get it.
