Alpha Video 5 - 3 sec GCD combat seems slow

i'm not talking about gcd (which it's confirmed it's reduced at highter levels) but skills not having recast in alpha

I'd like to see links to where it was stated that the global cooldown gets reduced at higher levels, and skills having individual recasts outside of alpha.

I know I will start a flame war with this, but at this point I have had my fill.

My question is a simple one.

Why are there so many people complaining and trying to turn FFXIV (Which stands for Final Fantasy) into Aion, WOW, Tera, etc?

If you want to play Aion or WOW here is a suggestion. Go play them. . . Shocking.

We play FFXIV because we want to play a FF (Which stands for Final Fantasy) game and enjoy it as we have enjoyed the others.

Do you go to McD's wanting a Whopper? Do you go to Wendys wanting a Big Mac? Do you go to Burger King wanting a Baconator? No. You go because you want a hamburger and you want a the kind that is provided to you by that eatery. They all sale hamburgers, yet all are different and your able to choose.

Can FF (Which stands for Final Fantasy. See a pattern yet) use an update in some areas? Yes. I have no problem there. Full disclosure, I have wanted jump in game for years and supported the addition of it. But now I see, swim, flying mounts, 3 seconds between attacks is to long, Grass (seriously that one made me laugh. WOW couldn't look like 1.0 in a wet dream), etc. The FF purest want the game to make SOME updates but remain pure to our roots and who we are.

You are free to play any game you want, FF included. But please keep FF, FF. Stay who we are, update a few areas and move forward.
