What went wrong? Is it the game or the grenre?

[Welsper59]

All I know is that after sucessfully clearing many heroic and hard mode raids in WoW and Tera and knowing I can dodge...getting hit by stupid stuff seems like a waste of my time. So does "instants" not being instant and CD's being used but not landing.

I'll resub when the game is more responsive. I don't mind the slow combat, but I do mind when my commands don't register as they ought to.

While I get what you're saying, it's not "as they ought to" so much as it is "as I want it to". The game is clearly designed to be intentionally focused around the animation. For better or worse, that's the way this game was made. It's wrong to say that they are wrong to design it that way (it's the way they wanted the game to be).
