Would this compromise for positionals work?

Look all you have to do is try other games guys. Positionals are dead. Experience something else for a while to understand why this is a good step.
You are all whinging about the wrong thing. Moan at square to sort out their fights and to take more risks with class design. Dont complain to me, because im happy positionals are gone.

Again... they are a, quite honesly, rubbish design choice that they needed to do away with ages ago. Just be happy they are making moves now.

Be specific, we all want the game to improve. What other tab-targeting MMO's out there that you think have a better movement system implemented and puts the current postionals to shame?

Help us experience what you might have so perhaps we can all see eye to eye on this. Lay out the designs behind what you might add to improve FFXIV melee.

No way you´ll get a honest answer. This guy has no clue and just spread around the same nonsense over and over again to get some attention in several threads. He do even ignores everything on purpose what have been posted here and in other threads.

I´ve written down the answer 1 or 2 pages ago. There is no way to improve the gameplay like it is in other MMORPG´s. FF14 is way too slow with the 2.5s cooldown and the only way to reach the 1.5s is to spam 1 button 5 times in a row. (e.g. MCH / SMN)
Without positionals, casting times and oGCD´s this game is nothing but super boring gameplay-wise with its slow-paced and scripted fights. Physical ranges even have to pay a tax for not having such restricitions and the only way to keep such classes somehow busy are either proccs on BRD / DNC or the named 1,5s bursts on MCH / SMN. And i seriously don´t know why SMN is still treated as caster with a higher damage output, when it beats DNC for being the most braindead class in this game.

We need positionals, castbars and oGCD´s to keep us busy and our brain working. Playing around that 2.5s and may delay that burstwindow here and there? Well... Netflix calls i guess.

EDIT: Yet we don´t even have a decent ressourcemanagement-system on any class. And i can´t take those gauges, which are getting filled by spamming the same 123 combo over and over again, into account. Classes in other games have such systems. They work with priority skills instead of 123 combos combined with a strict burst to burst window rotation, and all DPS there are selfish af. Some might have a 1-time buff for real DPS checks, but thats it. Any other selfish buffs or Dots needs to be tracked and used when the time has come and the ressources are available, not because the class sits on a perfect rounded rotation. It´s static/generic gameplay (FF14) VS pro-active gameplay (everything but FF14).
