while having different animations for jobs would be cool, since most content would be done with jobs it would basically make class animations nearly pointless. wasted development time.

as it is, different races have different animations already. as far as the devs taking shortcuts with animations, you do realize this is one of the most beautifully animated games ever made, right? go through your list of emotes and take a look at the attention to detail. tell me that's not incredibly realistic movement.
