True. Toram Online is such a great game. I used to put in a lot of time playing. With quality of life features such as player housing and others it was always interesting to play. The first OAC was okay until Gameloft's greed caught on. I still can't remember where the rush to Auto everything came from with these Korean developers. With Toram still being played by Thousand's it's clearly obvious that Autoplay doesn't keep viewers, I mean players lol, around. Toram Online has been around for about 7-9yrs now and it's still great to play, meanwhile games like Dragon Raja are already forgotten.

Anytime.

I thought with the massive success of Genshin with millions of Active players on mobile, some of these developers will take a hint and not make their game full auto and at least allow players a chance to experience the game for themselves. I see a lot of people defending it that you can turn it off but when you join a party and everyone is not even playing or communicating, it discourages players that don't use auto and they eventually leave the game or give in to it. . I think a part of this problem is the forced story and questing in Korean MMOs. With the developers trying to stretch out the sub par story as much as they can in order to keep the "payers" (lol) around, they create quests that is unrealistic to finish with a non auto system. Quests like kill 1000 mobs, then clear this dungeon X number of times and then kill 2000 mobs etc. This needs to change. I'd suggest these Korean MMOs look into making their MMOs more Sandbox, like Lifeafter or Albion OL or Villagers and Heroes so that the players have more variety on their own gameplay rather than an autogrind that will see the game dead in 1 year or 2. . TL;DR? Auto Bad.
