Going back to XIV's 2+ second GCD just feels positively glacial in comparison.
If you're interested in something more pvp-focused and casual, BNS is great. Log in, do dailies, thrash some peeps in arena, log out. If you're looking for a game to sink endless hours into and foster a friendly, helpful community...avoid it like the plague. There's a real lack of side content that hasn't been remedied in the games' native Korean origin, and the NA community is just frothingly angry all the time.
