Option to halve GCD time and double potency in non-synced/instanced content

That’s a terrible idea

Could you elaborate?

Have you considered not hammering the buttons when playing? If you find grinding trash mobs for extended periods of time to be a strain on your hands, that means you're supposed to stop or slow down. Yes, even by closing the game and resting. I don't think they'll ever add anything with the intent of keeping people playing longer in a single session.

I have arthritis and when my hands start to hurt I stop playing, because that's what my body is telling me to do. Listen to yours.

While i hear the sentiment of your words, I can't agree. This makes some assumptions that aren't necessarily true and even then, wouldn't discredit the concept. You don't have to 'hammer' the buttons for it to get tiring, and even if it was, what harm is there in trying to make things require less physical effort in places where it doesn't matter for game balance? Taking a break when things start to hurt is what I already do, but it doesn't address the time up to that point. It isn't about adding things with the intent of keeping people playing longer, it's about adding an option for making the time someone does spend playing less straining.
