I dont mind it for cooldowns. But dam does it have to be on every GCD? On every single button? Every 2.5 seconds? That is tha main issue. It wouldn't be distracting if the gcd wasn't making your whole dam bar flash every couple seconds like a bunch of disco balls. Even crap games with much more hardware issues than FF are able to throttle crap like that for the GCD as to not annoy the hell out of their players.
