    Maybe one day, you realize that Wanderer's Minuet was created to answer your complains back in the day. Be careful what you wish for, it might be granted eventually.
    As I've said, option B of my post is available if you want to reduce BRD mobility and increase DPS. There was a MUCH better way to implement the sort of gameplay the devs wanted to push on BRD. Again, tossing in a stance at lv52 was not the way to go about it.
    If you know you have to move, you can just cancel WM so you will DPS as usual. And they even allow you to put it on back instantly, since 3.01. If you don't know you have to move and blame SE for how you don't manage WM properly, it's on you.
    And at that point it becomes having an extra button to push for its own sake, which is bad design.

    * The sad thing is that FFXIV turned RDM into a turret, and people think that's what it's supposed to be. It's supposed to combine sword and magic into something more, not spend the bulk of gameplay spamming spells and jump into melee for only 3 GCDs before scurrying back to the back line like good little casters.
    * Design ideas:
