PS3 is already limiting the develpoment, even if they say it's not, i don't believe it. Even if ARR graphics are still great, they are not the top anymore... Also the animation at the moment are a lot below the standards..

Anyway i'm curious to know why the dev team it's unable to fix such a stupid thing...

For example:
GW2 have the best movement animations i have ever seen in an mmo without action lock, also the characters have a lot of "standby" animation that make the world feel more living, even if you're AFK...

I suppose that this is the cost for making an mmo in 2 years...
