[dev1016] Not stopping to draw a weapon and go into "active mode"

[Reika]

Actually, the fact of whether or not other MMOs do this is under debate. I personally think it was proven that others do NOT back on page two, post 15.

In my MMO experience, there is no stalling when entering combat.

I don't mind active/passive mode, but I think it could have been handled better. I would rather have something more subtle and seemless, as in automatically entering active mode when you engage an enemy and are in combat. I don't think it should have anything to do with whether or not you take out your weapon. And it certainly should not make you stop in your tracks.

It is also not about copying other MMO's. some aspects are just required to be in all MMO's. Like... Leveling up... etc lol. Not being frozen in place to enter and exit combat is one of them.
