Realm Reborn = downgrade?

[Nabiri]

Someone should go and play 1.0 and check out the movements while locked on the target.

I get the feeling almost every single Poster in this Thread never played 1.0 with "Target lock" mode. People act like we don't have strafing and "Sideway Walking" at all. And people actually forget that we had way worse Animations back when 1.0 was released, which got fixed over time.

I unlock the target when walking/running "sideways" or "backwards" (so I'm not actually running sideways or backwards, I'm turning and running in a different direction). It looks better, more realistic, and I feel I move faster. :3
I will die a little inside if I don't have that in 2.0, (the ability to turn and run in a different direction, rather than walking slowly backwards).
