Just like people's geographical origins define their cultural biases, it seems obvious that previous MMO-playing experience shapes the concept of fun in any MMO-player brain.

To the OP: I was wondering what in your previous gaming experience defined your particular biases, based upon which you want a faster combat system than the one at hand, HP replenished faster than it already does, and during combat, no less, plus archers unencumbered by arrows? It's telling to me that you unquestionably assimilate combat speed to fun.

I, for one, have fled every game out there that included any of these options. Especially those games that strive to make MMO gameplay feel more like simplistic, linear, single-player games that gratify the player based on the simple rush of kill-kill-kill-and-kill-it-now.
