Its ffxiv combat really so slow and boring?

Like I said, it's going to happen. There is no "if," it's just "when." But in a thread asking whether or not combat is boring... well. Y'know.

I mean technically they could make it an opt-in sort of thing, but given how they approached the Job Gauges I find that incredibly unlikely.

It's actually more like 111, 222, 333, with oGCDs throw in between and whatever other abilities you have. The current system we have now doesn't require any more thought into it than the pvp combos do, they just require more buttons. Before you've pressed your 1, 2, or 3, you already predetermined what your second and third button presses are going to be.
