All this encouraged was for everyone to equip their WS that proced a status on hit and for everyone to spam it, regardless if it was worth it or not (and you had to be first, since overwriting a debuff does not give you SP).

They didn't give extra SP.

The reason regimens didn't pick up was because they just plain didn't work 80% of the time even if you did the process correctly. It wasn't until the Nov 24 patch that battle regimens actually started to activate correctly.

Even then (and still now) battle regimens were not worth doing in small parties, and the benefits did not outweigh the drawbacks enough.
