Why would SE go through all the effort to do motion-capture if it's all going to be dumbed down because people prefer a more "WoW-like" experience? Why? WHY?
this is dumb.

realism and weight, you say? show me video of human beings running full speed forward then immediately cutting back to face 180 degrees in the opposite direction and run full speed again. do you even understand how movement works in real life? athletes try their best to make sudden cuts far less extreme than that and it still often ends up in a blown ACL.

furthermore, the constant comparisons to wow. why would you do that? why? why? you clearly haven't ever played the game.
