All I know is

fact: /facetarget is an easy easy solution. First line in your macro completely solves the problem. Not hard lol. Doesnt even require thought on your part.

fact: If you have to run around like crazy you're probably doing it wrong. Either you're in the wrong spot, or your party is really screwing up. In other words, find a new strategy. You shouldnt need to run around excessively, though some fights require a bit of movement. Again, /facetarget is an easy easy easy solution.

fact: WHMS/BLMS in my LS have no problems. I havent even heard a complaint. They're every bit as effective as they were before, so if you're having difficulties its a personal problem. This is the same thing as animation lock. No its not always perfect, but if you're good at what you do you can avoid the problem. Will it be fixed in 2.0? Yes. They couldn't get it perfect for this server but they provided an easy solution. Failure to use this solution is just failure on your part. Don't blame a game for your incompetence. If you can't adapt, play something expendable like a melee dps. At least that way your party wont be hurt because you're too prideful to use the /facetarget button/macro.

fact: Its not an issue. It really isn't. Ppl run away and heal just fine. Run away and nuke just fine. Lots of ppl do. Gamepads or keyboards. If its such a problem for you, then that problem is personal. You are doing something wrong. Ask ppl who dont have problems what they're doing, and imitate. If you refuse to do this, then you have no business complaining, and no business playing a game in constant development. Stop the QQ. Yes its inconvenient to add a line in your macro, no it doesn't affect you all that much. /facetarget, /ac "spell of doom", have fun.
