I promise you, doing an update like this would definitely make me stop playing it. No other MMO I know has as fluid of combat at POTCO. Honestly if you add having to press buttons or click buttons to attack it would probably add on a stamina bar. It would probably try to limit how much damage you could do within a certain amount of time.
Simply put this would not at all make the game better, but instead push it into a direction similar to FFXIV. FFXIV is currently completely remaking is Battle System because the game was weak from the time it started with its combat. When just doing basic attacks you could hardly do four attacks in a row without growing tired.
We don't need an update like this when the combat is simply the only reason most people I play the game with enjoy it. Stripping the combat out of POTCO would make it feel like any old MMO such as WoW or Rift. They are good in questing sort of ways, but have no true fiber after questing for many players.
Leaving it the way it is would be great.
But honestly, I would love to see what your idea for the game was earlier. I truly want to see a weapon revolution where players can start to find Shot guns, Dual Cutlasses, Dual Daggers and repeater rifles.
Maybe a staff that can control Nature such as a Geomancer.
