We interrupt your current server woes to talk about casting

[Firon]

Seriously though. On the topic of stopping to cast...

Does anyone else feel offended by the fact that SE is turning ffxiv into the Special Olympics?

Other MMO players would laugh at how retardedly useless it is to penalize a magic caster for casting while they move...

Isn't anyone seeing the fact here: this is a shitty mechanic designed to make up for lack of a greater creative alternative. I say this because i really do not understand why mages are being penalized... TO make us an easier target in compensation for the damage a BLM can do? Why do healers suffer because a multimillion dollar company lacks the ability to design mechanics which creatively engross players into a battle system?

I really dont understand.

I don't remember being able to run and cast in any mmo i played before @.@. I never knew why we were able to do it in the first place cause the original cnj list had a skill that let them run and cast but lowered the effectiveness.
