The simplicity of combat is one of the reasons I found it so appealing. Comparing it to a game like WoW where you need to do a precise rotation of 10-20 skills/clickies/positioning/event-specific-buffs to be competitive. I like being able to auto attack, socialize with my friends/group, or cast a few spells on a rotation and then sit/med, and once again socialize with my friends/group.
It's one of the biggest reasons newer games feel so lonely. Don't get me wrong, some fun mechanics keep things interesting but it's a different game for a different generation of players.
