Will we ever get fully realized PC controls?

Same here, that's the way MMO's (not just FFXI and XIV) ought to be played.

Yea in some weird universe that is assbackwards.

Yea in some weird universe that is *profanity*backwards.

No it isn't (I can name a couple games that currently use just the keyboard)

Blade and Soul & Vindictus (although I hear TERA uses the keyboard as well)

It's not backwards, MMO's have been using mice for decades (Don't you think it's time for a little... I dunno, innovation?)

Yes lets sacrifice Intuitive design for innovation, that's like trying to reinvent the wheel.

A wheel is just fine being a wheel.

Yea my point was that if you are happy to use just keyboard that's just fine, nobody is going to stop you from doing that.

It doesn't change the fact that many existing (and the majority of new players) will want standard mouse and keyboard controls.

They certainly shouldn't be taking you as a case study in how to design game controls though, no offense.

I don't care if you play with the PS3 move, I was responding to your calling playing with keyboards "assbackwards".

If this:

Was your attempt at making a point, it was poorly done.

I managed just fine with keyboard only in XI, Vanguard, and EQ2 competitive "endgame". Maybe it isn't "intuitive" to you, but it is perfectly intuitive to me to play an MMO with only the keyboard.

I learned to type when I was 7 or 8 years old, I think, and so a keyboard with more buttons than any controller/mouse I have seen all within the reach of my two hands (which I can also use to type messages!) is an incredibly convenient and efficient way to play.

I wouldn't play any other way, and like I said I think I do just fine.

btw pretty sure that mice came after keyboards both as computer peripherals and in their use for gaming so your post above me makes no sense. I find most people who stray away from keyboard commands do so because they are weak typists.
