Yeah, hopefully EU servers will solve it. I live about a thousand miles from the NA data center but my ping is only 30-40 ms so I have none of those issues as described in the OP. I mean, I wish I had MORE off global cooldown abilities. Sometimes I run out of stuff to smack in between GCDs and I feel kind of dumb just sitting there pressing a button every three seconds.

I play on keyboard though, not controller, so I've got 36 direct keybinds and another dozen or so universal ones bound to vertical hotbars. Things only get a little more complex when I add the pet hobtar (bound to my shift key) into the mix.

I don't mind the glamour system at all. But I have all crafters at 50 so setting up outfits for me is a matter of switching jobs and making sure I have the materials on hand, which I usually do. I do wish it was like the dark matter and carbonized matter, where a higher grade could be used on lower grade items so I could just keep grade 5 crystals on hand.
