Too many flashy abilities?

This is why I'm glad SE selectively listens to the community for the most part. Over a year ago: "ALL THE ANIMATIONS LOOK THE SAME, THEY AREN'T FLASHY ENOUGH, THEY AREN'T BIG ENOUGH."

If they listened to everyone like the OP or Rokien, we'd have no forward progression in ARR's development at all.

At least have spells that go around your whole character be AoE. No need to have that stuff be single target or we won't see anything in PvP it'll be a sea of colors. And also I hope every class has very unique looking abilities so we know what's going on and who's doing what.

Word for word what I was about to respond with. Thank you sir.

He's got a point.. Its why they originally upscaled the graphics for the spells in 1.0.

I'm pretty sure they have chosen their direction regarding this, and its unlikely to change.
