One of the first things I noticed when servers came online for 2.0 was how much faster combat was compared to 1.0. Its perfect IMO, with skill/spell speed on higher tier gear it shaves off some CD time as well. But did you really suggest having active time wait? Hold on bahamut.. Pause... I need to find that ether in my inventory. Enkidoh said it best, that's not how this game is designed and this game might not be for you.
