I chose BRD for swift gameplay, if I wanted to cast I would have chosen a Mage.

Unless you were a hyperactive rabbit, you shouldn't even really notice a difference.
. . .
Again, there really wasn't any playstyle change unless you constantly ran around like a hyperactive bunny for no real reason at all.

What's wrong with running around? You mention it twice as if it's something negative. It's the same as getting annoyed by how others dress their character, which voice option they picked or other insignificant things. Why would it bother you so much?

I used to run around on my bard because it was fun and didn't lower my damage. This game is so bloody slooooooooow and booooooooooooooring if I just sit there watching the cast bar or cooldown take foreeeeeeever. This viewpoint is directly related to my gaming history. I also run around the target as a melee and as a summoner during Ruin II (whilst weaving oGCD), Bio and Miasma II. As a BLM I jump around during procs. I also do it as a healer when there's nothing to heal and I cba to dps. As a tank I jump in place and during the initial pulls I do 360 spins in the air while Flashing. You know what this requires of me? A little flinch of my finger on the keyboard. Calling it "hyperactive" really is the ultimate exaggeration, considering people are able to do it in games that have three times the tempo of this one.

INB4 "these kids nowadays have such a short attention span"
INB4 "jumping makes the player play poorly, like missing AAs or taking more damage"
INB4 "anyone who has that movement habits originating from fast games must be a kid because fast games are kids' games"
INB4 other projection of own poor skills or lack of experience of faster games

I think it's silly and immature, but it doesn't bother me.

Hahahaha flicking a thumb off the space button is now immature. I actually chuckled irl .
