Fact is, no one in their right mind could favor the BR "input action to queue and wait" system over the more intuitive system the SC had. It's not a matter of damage and how the mobs die quickly anyways. They can keep the idea of the BR and debuff system, just the way to USE it should be modified to be like SC were used

Want to do an attack debuff? Instead of iniating a BR with a normal attack and wait for someone to queue another normal attack and then wait for the BR to be initiated, why would people be so against just calling out you are about to do a normal attack and then someone else could do another normal attack to successfully perform the regimen.

The only adjustment would need to determine which normal attacks could be used for it and give them a proper CD (20-30sec) so that you cannot spam the regimen and forces you to coordinate the attacks.

Edit: just to be clear, I am not arguing the effectiveness of well executed BR nor the fact that SCs ala FFXI would be useless against grinding mobs (so are BR mostly). I am arguing that the current BR system is unoptimized and very cumbersome to use, not at all intuitive.
I might say that people like to defend an old and disorganized system like SC just for the sake of saying "XI was better".

Face it, BR is the natural evolution of SC, the reason why you have to stack a skill is that whenever you do so you're SURE a BR is gonna be performed, wheter it's gonna be effective or not depends on the player's knowledge of the system. You just can't say the same about SC, you could do tons of attempts, doing 10 WS asking for a SC and you could potentially never see one (honestly I find it hard to belive that anyone who played XI never had issues getting ppl to perform SC in random parties).

And we say that people don't like BR because they don't know how to use it because the only argument is the waiting time. You just don't have to wait, if you're waiting your party is doing it wrong. Organize yourself and communicate with your party (damn it's an mmo, you HAVE to communicate -.-) untill you get a nice timing.

@Zanfire: SHIFT+skill if using the keyboard, emote instead of select on the skill if using the gamepad, only one person press an extra button to release, I really don't think the execution can be made simplier...
