So... Why IS the GCD 2.5 seconds?

This wasn't my opinion. It was a statement by Yoshi.

Then I guess he failed at that lol. This "toxic" community everyone's complaining about is a byproduct of a lot of unforgiving fights his team pulls out. Rarely do you see in other MMOs fights where 1 player can mess it up for all the other 7. But it happens here and in another genre which is infamous for its "toxic" community, MOBAs. When even 1 player has so much responsibility in their shoulder it will breed this behavior and is no coincidence that both MOBAs and FFXIV are know for their "toxic" community.

Although with 2.3 it looks like he's trying to fulfill his promise. Everything I've done till now has been casual and boring as hell. The three dungeons, Ramuh HM, the freaking hunts, the tower. Such a disappointing patch. Ramuh ex may keep me busy for a bit but I don't see it lasting long.

Because it goes Hardcore > Casual > Hardcore > Casual with every update.

2.1 had more casual content
2.2 had more hardcore content
2.3 has casual content
2.4 will again have hardcore content (Third Coil). Luckily, Rogue and Ninja are coming out with 2.4 too, so it'll be a nice diversion for those of us who can't/don't want to join a static.
