That's the last thing he said in the battle system paragraph. You're just like every other person out there: black and white, shitty or perfect, spam or 30 min wait times. OP is right. The game is too fast-paced right now. It doesn't need to be an XI clone, but it needs to be something close to it.
Maybe you didnt play FFXI, if you did you know that what the Op. is asking, is to have a clone of FFXI, everything he says reflects the same restriction FFXI had, its not too fast paced if youre not being able to strategize with more battle speed then is your problem. You have a lot of options of voice chat you can talk at any time to keep strategy of the fights in real time as best as they can be. And whats all about spaming? i dont spam i play archer and i dont spam light shots in fights i actually use different set of skills on rotations and change a few things depending on how the fight evolves, if you kill mobs almost of your same range well maybe theres the problem, but if you actually have tried to kill mobs 20 ranks over you at least you will notice the fight last a lot longer, i play as gladiator too, and find the tanking job to be really great because you are immerse at all times in the fights, i dont want those fights we had in XI that you could actually go to the bathroom and after being back the fight was still going and everything is doing great as if you were there because nobody could use a damn ws or the recast timers for the abbilities were too long, and yes i read the wall of text he just wrote, and i say it again NO.
