Consistency with Hold Down Skills

Specifically towards the health of the players and their wrist, are there any plans to change some of the current skills into "Hold Down" skills where they activate multiple times just by holding the key down?

An example of a place this will be useful is for Beast Tamer's Bear Mode's [Furious Frenzy]. This skill requires a lot of mashing of the respective key despite not moving anywhere.
For other classes like Aran, it is understandable to be able to control their attacks better to maneuver around better.

Again, in the case of Beast Tamers:
Bear Mode's [Paw Swipe] cannot be used multiple times upon holding down the attack key.
However, in Leopard Mode, you can hold down the attack key to perform multiple attacks of [Leopard's Paw].

I understand that this can cause problems with AFK's and botters.
However, for players who are active a lot, it puts a lot of strain on their hands and wrists. Players should be taking breaks and stretching their lands once in a while as well.
Maplestory should also try and play an active role in making sure their players are happy and healthy as well!

TL;DR: "Hold Down" Skills to help player's reduce strain on their wrists!

    Doesn't mean Maplestory/Nexon can't play a part in helping players too!
