I think the previous battle system was really underrated and could really be fun and engaging if it had been built correctly, since it was more action oriented. Unfortunatly, it ended up being smash attack all over.

As such, the masses like AA and it's what all the other MMOs have and this game is lacking on standards. So I'd rather they just focus on fun and challenging content for the current system.

Personally, I'd be happy if they just sped the AA a bit. 4 sec between each attack is kinda slow ;P
