Is the game really going to have a GCD system?

And I hate the "OMG EVERYTHING in wow is awful and bad" crap.....

No, they're right. FF XIV should avoid everything that WoW had.
- Global cooldown
- Scaling skills according to level
- Quest leveling progress
- Exploration
- Hint to help players in-game so that they don't need to look at a step by step walkthrough
- Jumping so that you character won't be stuck by a waist-high fence
- Millions of accounts
- Financial success

And the list goes on
