Current actions games are lacking

Kilrain

I've found that the soft target action combat games of late to be extremely shallow and overall very boring when it comes to combat. Tera and BDO for example; you don't have to aim, you don't have to think about your next attack, you just spam the hell out of your targets and they drop like flies. They're not challenging.

In Darkfall you actually had to aim, you had to heal, you had to dodge. Spamming your skills would get you killed without strategy. In EQ and the upcoming Pantheon you have to plan your attacks, think about your next move, the people in your group, agro, etc. Spamming your skills would get you killed without strategy.

Just felt like ranting. Can't wait for Pantheon and the Darkfalls. Have a good day.

You should try Spiral Knights.  Blindly spamming attacks will get you killed in a hurry.  But if you're good enough, you can sometimes clear entire levels without getting hit.

That's because most of the modern action MMO's have about as much depth as Golden Axe III, but with better graphics.
