Oh please you don't know what you're talking about clearly. Animations were the reason I was constantly disconnecting and took 30 minutes to buy or sell from an NPC at launch.

I mean nevermind the fact they significantly sped up the process over time without changing the animations one bit. So clearly the animations were the root of all evil with XIV's poor launch. They spent so much time on animations that they had no time for content, clearly wasn't the main complaint.
