While I appreciate that you're proposing an actual solution to what you feel is an issue (and thank you for it!), I'm not sure I agree with your proposed solution of QTE's. Mostly on the grounds that 1) QTE's are often a single player driven event, meaning the rest of your party just gets to sit and watch and 2) QTE events can be incredibly difficult for some folks who may not have the reaction time to handle them. While I agree this would make combat more exciting, it would make it less accessible. I'm wondering, do you have any other ideas? I do agree that in an MMO, combat can feel a little bland (though I do like the avoidance that FFXIV has so far) so I'd like to see if there are any solid ideas out there as well.
