Moving will be made to interrupt spellcasting at a point in time...

You must be rather young or inexperienced. Feel free to believe that, but there will come a day when they stop listening, because they will realize that people like you do not appreciate their hard work. One can tell Yoshida-san is slowly getting to that point.

But feel free to continue being a jerk, and we'll see how well that works out for you long-term.

No, but much like in the real world, the passive people get walked over, while the a-hole who calls customer service gets what he/she wants. Now, if being a pessimist is considered being a jerk, then I'm a jerk.

Now I'm cool, you are cool, we all are cool now. World keeps spinning.

It's not being passive to be encouraging in order to get what one wants. I find that it works out better than annoying the pants off the person in question.

one can tell that yoshi is finally ending his grace period with the jp players. that's the people that have started getting on him the last few updates and why things were changed(ex: server merge method). he is finally starting to see what a developer has to deal with. people complain that tanaka was rude towards his critics and now those same people are stating yoshi should act the same.

i do love the double standards that exist on these forums.

I don't think he was rude at all. I think he handled things the best way he could, by explaining why it is a good idea to encourage him to make the changes we want, instead of yelling at him and insulting him. He is right, the previous method does tend to work better, and it continues to work long after the latter fails (due to stress and frustration).

Casting while moving has never been a healthy feature whether it's PvP or PvE, magic is simply supposed to be powerful and it's simply supposed to be a concentrated matter. The key is not to implement a casting-while-moving feature, but instead as in FFXI, there should be a casting interruption rate that would be governed by various stats and also force one to stop to cast any big spells, like others have suggested in this thread.

Personally, I think a push-back system would be best. When you get hit, your cast bar is pushed back a certain number of ticks, but the spell isn't completely negated. After a certain number of hits, the spell would no longer suffer from push-backs and would just go off.

When spells are interrupted from an attack, it really hurts solo play the most. In an ideal party, the ranged casters shouldn't be getting hit much, but a solo caster is always going to get hit. Their magic is their only real means of attack. As such, a push-back system would work much better at penalizing players who neglect to use their shield spells, without completely destroying the potential of being able to solo effectively.
