    I can clear any content I wish, assuming I can find a group for it, I can kill the byakko ex dummy on SAM at the min item level and the savage dummies on WAR. I can deal with boss mechanics. I just occasionally press the wrong button and you tell me to quit? don't be a jerk.

    I don't know why you're telling me how good you are at the game. I did not question your skill. I am just wondering why you're investing time in a game when you seem to strongly dislike a prevalent and fundamental part of it. How does this make me a jerk?

    Surely playing a game with mechanics that work better for your playstyle and preference would be a better use of your time.

    The problem is a better game for me does not exist now. so I play this becuase besides the terrible combat system which I hate (way too many skills, I hate GCDs in general) is the only part I really dislike. everything else is amazing.

    Sounds like you would far prefer a fast paced hack and slash type of combat system rather than a gcd system which a huge amount of mmorpgs have.

    I absolutely would but the games which have it have other major reasons why they're a no. So until a game comes out which actually suits me perfectly this will have to do, since it's the best I can find.

    These are my feelings as well. I am terrible at this combat system and I cannot look at the action enough while having to monitor all these cooldowns and procs. I also find it has too many buttons so I have to use some really uncomfortable binds. I love the art style and the story so I stay but if they offered me another combat system such as WoW's I'd take it. I would not take all those add-ons, however!

    Yeah I feel like having to use add ons to make a game seem complete is lazy on the part of the developers. I'm glad FFXIV has a built in aggro meter.

    Between weaving in ogcd and gcd, moving out of aoe. Watching Netflix on my second screen. Not an issue.

    Commendations.
    If I play dps I only give it out to other dps.
    If I play tank I only give it out to healers.
    If I play healer I only give it out to tank.

    Only if they should be getting a commendation.
    There are always exceptions to the rules!

    I then defer to your superior talent. I cannot even watch the boss, enemy list, party list, my own feet, my combo progress, my procs, and my own cooldowns much less concentrate also on a movie at the exact same time!
