So I can't autorank yet, but from what I have heard one of the most annoying issues related to it is having to exit the NPC screen to choose another.

I propose that upon disabling an NPC, the attack button becomes a "Next" button, or something similar, which when clicked spawns the NPC that replaces the one you have killed, and automatically brings it up, so you could continue clicking the attack button.

That said, I don't know if this would unbalance anything (easier/faster exp gain, most likely, would be the reason Dan wouldn't want to implement this), or indeed if it is even possible.

it honestly isn't that bad unless you are bad with a mouse

anyone who has plays computer games at a fast pace won't have a problem with this

it is just really repetitive and i am actually at the point where i can watch the chat and kill npcs without looking

+1 this could be quite useful (;

-1, simply because at best your talking about saving milliseconds off the time it takes to kill NPC's.

Its not annoying at all really.

I just go from top to bottom; Click target on NPC #1, kill the NPC, click off the open NPC tab(don't click the red cross). Click target on NPC #2 and repeat until i've destroyed all 6 NPC's on my current tab.

Then i just click the battle button until all 6 spots are filled again, and then rinse and repeat. If i killed and clicked the cross button all the time that would likely double my NPC killing speed.
