We interrupt your current server woes to talk about casting

[darkstarpoet1]

All features are tested before implementing so that gameplay is not noticeably affected. Has Yoshida ever introduced a feature that affects gameplay negatively and then needed to remove it completely? to the best of my memory, No.

if it wouldn't have effected the gameplay of controller users negatively he would not have singled them out stating that it would have a delay, but it would be ok if you didn't care about casting spells when you actually needed to.
