    My main qualm is that this game is supposed to be approachable, however, this kind of thing can hurt those who want to play this game.

    I'm all for a function of "skill" but this is not the case with side attacks.

    Thanks!
    So, rather than have the mechanics behind them improved, adjusted or otherwise tweaked, let's just remove them altogether?

    Wow. Yet another example of someone wanting fewer options in this game.

    What's with this "baby with the bathwater" attitude so many have in this game?

    "I don't like how "x" is right now... So get rid of it".

    Unreal.

    It's the way things work though, if something isn't working well you either:
    A) Fix it, if fixing it is not something that can/will achieve a truly desirable state of function then:
    B) Replace it.

    If in a persons opinion running circles around a mob is a broken mechanic and should be replaced what's wrong with that opinion? I'm not saying it's the best option, or the right option, but just that if it's broken, and a number of people think it is then perhaps it's time to replace it with something else.

    I only recently decided that the "run laps" system does have some, not much, but some, value as you can read in an earlier post.

    A friend of mine accused me of really enjoying playing devil's advocate, I said he was an ass with no idea what he was talking about. In retrospect ...
