i almost stopped reading after i saw "TERA" and "AAA MMO" in the same sentence,
that game was a complete mess, awful cutscenes where the lipsynch didnt fit the voice and the english voice didnt say the same as the english subtitle, AAA indeed
almost no gear diversity that only got sluttier every few levels
questing was a poorly duct taped on afterthought, even the oh so praised combat was dull after a few weeks because it was teras only redeeming factor,
even comparing ARR and teras completely different combat styles is just silly as others already pointed out
but enough ranting
sorry for the off topic but i just couldnt let that one slide

on topic,
i personally enjoy the combat of ARR because you can actually think about your next move for a second instead of spamming your moves asap until your fingers bleed,
the raise issue got recognised and gets fixed soon, you should keep up with the dev posts^^
