Back Paddling is horrible.

This is a fantasy game, it's not supposed to be realistic. twitch gaming doesn't belong here. Combat doesn't have to be hyper fast to be fun and engaging.

That is your opinion and I respect that, and I agree HYPER fast is not always the key, but that does not mean that certain parts of fights can't be a little more reactive. Final fantasy has always had twitch gaming now that we have coined that term lol. Its the difference between active fast and wait combat all the way back since Final Fantasy 7. For me its more of a reaction in combat such as get out of fire in less then 2 seconds or you die type thing. Not everybody is going to like old school stand still RPG combat.. I do btw... but that is not the future of the genre anymore. From an MMO standpoint.

Then MMORPGs in general, especially this one, are really not for you. In a world where everything is getting faster and faster and faster in gaming, it's honestly refershing to have a team that goes "whoa, whoa, is this really necessary?"

Oh it will be for me and many other mmo players out there I think you are the one that will be disappointed honestly. Yes you may have to stop laying down on your couch to play you may have to sit up and pay attention but it will be worth it in the end wink wink lol.

I'm with you. Combat can be as fast as they want to make it. They just have to make sure they don't make it so simple people can come up with standard "Rotations" and pretend they are elite.

If players cycle through the same skills more than twice in a row, your fight is to easy.
