    we have reason to believe it will still be there. after all, we've had characters flashing in 2 consecutive MMOs from SE, so there is reason to believe the 2.0 client will not be any different in that regard.

    Which is another incorrect assumption. I run a fairly hardcore LS on Fabul.

    again the "all of it" option is not a hard decision when it's available.

    lets hope that we never have to find out with the 2.0 engine

    You are wrong, I hated gear swap macros in XI also.

    They are tailoring the engine specifically for FFXIV... enough said.

    I didn't see any Moogle kills, AV clears or CC clears on your lodestone page. If your LS was "fairly" hardcore you would have completed it already.

    I still don't see an issue with #4.

    I hope we do because it is a great system that adds a dynamic aspect to battle while also promoting more content.

    I am correct all you do is make a WS macro and a gear macro separate. Then you use them in the proper order as fast as possible and it works in a far faster pace than 1 second.

    Honestly, I don't see a point in arguing with this person anymore after they clearly proved to me that they don't know anything about how gear swapping in ffxi worked when they said you needed to wait 1 second.

    If people have a problem playing with "elitist" players(which I still don't see how this is used as a bad term to describe people who like to play to the best of their ability), then don't play with them.

    And someone said that it would make it so that there is no originality in gear choices... Whether there is or isn't gear swapping, there will be a best gear set for each certain battle.

    Exactly, I'm all for gear swapping, SE! As longs as your new engine fixes certain issues which currently make it a hassle.

    The funny thing is though I already use gear swapping on my BLM. I switch between different chokers midfight depending on the spell I am using lol
