Sorry, MicroManagement.
The tiresome endless do-the-same-thing kind of things that make a game drag toward the end.

Its a continual subject. On one hand people argue that they are the pretender-God and wouldnt micro-manage their empire down to petty things like assigning troops to each commander. Then they argue that they feel they should be able to direct every action in combat.

obviously its going to end up being someplace in the middle
It does not after be. The very best games allow the player to choose, wether they wish to micromanage everything or just make the big decisions or somewhere inbetween.

Games are all about enjoyment and fun really so game designers should try to make a game as customizable as possible.

Of course I am sure they would point to how much you can mod the game, as an example of giving a player many options.
