Allow me to add 'Readying your shield' to that.

Oh god yes PLEASE, I can't count how many times i went to cure someone soloing a too strong mob only for then to die because i needed to whip out my staff to cast cure. I'm not a fan of casting with a weapon in hand, I also miss the FFXI casting while disengaged.

I understand that people can copy what one game does whether popular or not with what works or doesn't work, but eventually something has to change to become a true next gen game. Who cares if every other MMO has you stop when you draw or put away your weapon if this game makes it possible to do this just by decreasing or increasing character movement speed and remove the hassle of stopping?

I would really like to hear a good explanation as to how stopping to draw or put away your weapon has helped you or anyone else in or out of game.

Do we play the same game? What does fleet of foot have to do with stopping when you unsheathe your weapon or your guard drops?
