Faster doesnt automatically imply enjoyable. I personally prefer a milder pace that will be assimilated more easily by the majority and focus more on coordination and team play than developing muscle memory to stack more or the same skills in a single minute.
I had a buddy over who was a long time WoW player with me, he was amazed when I showed him the combat in FFXIV because you actually had to think and react to what the monsters were doing, and he said "Yeah that's totally different from WoW where you basically just hit any ability you have when it comes off of it's cooldown."
