Its ffxiv combat really so slow and boring?

BLM has more mobility in PvP.

No, it doesn't. It gives you the illusion that it does because you don't have bosses or adds vomiting orange circles all over leylines or firing things at you from a distance like Guardian. Again, you're not expected or in a situation where you need to be standing still and that your damage will suffer if you don't in PvP. There is nothing stressful about PvP that warrants you to use your full toolkit unlike PvE.

If they decide to try and consolidate combos, they will more than likely just take notes from the PvP system first, and you're just willfully being hopeful and optimistic that they won't when we all know better than that by now.

There is no reason whatsoever to consolidate buttons on BLM. There is no button bloat on that job. Literally, everything I ever need is RIGHT THERE ON MY FIRST BAR.

With minor abilities on the second and I still have plenty of room.
