Remember when karakuls used to do this?

At a guess they were trying to cut lag or reduce the game's download size?

It was because they deemed it "too stressful" as these mobs would engage (in aggressive or friendly manner) you regardless of what you are doing or if you wanted to engage them.

1.0 was at least playabe for me. this theme park crap makes me wanna puke.
i miss the old repair system b4 stupid dark matter.
i miss repairing other ppls gear in a bazzarr for money.
imo 1.0 was closer to the right direction then 2.2

It's just the unfortunate way of appealing to different audiences. There are some that love the way 1.0 was. I loved a good number of things about 1.0, but the way the Anima system worked along with some initial problems turned me off to it. 2.0 is good, in its own way, but I miss some of the ways that 1.0 was as well.

In the end, the 1.0 system failed for a number of reasons. It shows that the style of 1.0 is probably a dying breed, as much as I am remiss to say it, and that maybe 2.0's 'them-park' system is the way to go if you want a profitable and successful MMO. =/

Just remember how you died by eruption during Ifrit fight because you did 1 weapon skill at the wrong time.
