Does the combat system need to be reworked?

Nah that only happens when the changes are half assed and not tested properly. This is why XIV needs to allow public testing since iirc, even CBU3 has a hard time testing their own products since they don't have enough people to test half the time.

Genuine question, can you name one time an MMO made sweeping changes to a combat system that was well received by the community? I've been playing MMOs for about 22 years now and I can't think of any BUT I also haven't played every MMO out there.

In my experience even relatively inoffensive changes usually lead to a lot of community push back if it's not a highly requested feature. I'm not saying I don't believe you, mind, just that I have seen many a community react... vehemently in the wake of combat being changed
